Popis: There is an unmet need to discover suitable targets for CAR-T therapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here the authors show that GRP78, a key regulator of the unfolded protein response, is highly expressed on the surface of primary AML blasts, but not on normal lymphocytes and hematopoietic progenitor cells, and that GRP78-CAR T have anti-AML activity in preclinical models.
