Abstract:
T cell receptors (TCR) are specifically expressed on T cell surface, which can recognize different tumor antigens to kill and scavenge cancerous cells. TCR-engineered T cells (TCR-T) therapy is to harbor TCR specific to tumor cells and modify the T cells with genetic engineering techniques to achieve the purpose of treating tumors after transfusion. Despite some achievements in TCR-T therapy,there are still some problems, such as treatment toxicity, limited T cell infiltration and antigen-specific deficiency and so on. So, the safety and effectiveness of TCR-T therapy need to be constantly optimized. Therefore,this paper summarizes the research status of TCR-T therapy for solid tumors in domestic and overseas, as well as the existing problems and countermeasures.
