Popis: Hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) is notoriously difficult to manage and fatal. As a therapeutic option, adoptive cell therapy with HBV-specific TCR-redirected T cells could be employed to target and control relapses in these patients. However, indispensable immunosuppressive medications post-transplantation can significantly hinder the optimum efficacy of such therapy in the clinic. Here we report a new class of Armored TCR T cells which are able to attack recurrent cancer cells in liver transplanted recipients, while temporarily evading immunosuppressant drugs. We believe this strategy could open up new opportunities for treating pathologies under immunosuppressant treatment.
