The deployment of advanced technologies can enhance the therapeutic effects of TCR-T cells. Merging the TCR with diverse enhancement tools like our PD1-41BB switch receptor results in better efficacy and sustained immune responses, thus augmenting TCR-T cell functionality.
Modification and tailoring within the TCR constant regions can enhance the anti-tumor functional activity of TCR-T cells and improves safety by reducing the potential for off-target effects. In addition, applying a control mechanism like our iM-TCR for better regulation of TCR-T therapies is beneficial to avoid the over-activation of TCR-T cells and, subsequently, T cell exhaustion resulting in reduced efficacy.
