TCR-T Therapy Development Service for Bladder Cancer
The redirection of T cells towards tumor cells involves ex vivo engineering of T cells to express cancer-antigen specific T cell receptors (TCRs), resulting in the production of TCR-engineered T cells (TCR-T). Alfa Cytology is dedicated to the development of effective bladder cancer-specific TCR-T cell therapies.
Introduction to TCR-T Therapy for Bladder Cancer
TCR-T (T-cell receptor-engineered T cell) therapy is a cutting-edge approach in the treatment of bladder cancer, leveraging the body's immune system to specifically target and eliminate cancer cells. This therapy involves engineering a patient's T cells to express T-cell receptors (TCRs) that recognize specific antigens presented by cancer cells. Unlike other therapies, TCR-T therapy can target intracellular proteins that are processed and presented on the cell surface by MHC molecules, offering a broader range of targetable antigens. This specificity enhances the precision of the therapy, potentially leading to more effective and durable responses in bladder cancer treatment.
