| Abstract | T cells are a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in the functioning of the immune system. Therapies based on T cells (CAR T-cell therapy) are proving to be effective for certain cancers. T cells are isolated from a patient’s blood and modified to express a binding protein (CAR) that allows the T-cell to more effectively attach to tumor cells. Once modified, the CAR T-cells are grown to create millions of them, and then introduced into the patient, where they bind to cancer cel |
