Patent number: 11857572Abstract: A method for increasing the proportion of a central memory T cell (Tcm) subset in a CAR-T cell product includes adding an artificial antigenic epitope in a CAR, and activating a CAR-T by the artificial antigenic epitope, wherein the artificial antigenic epitope does not exist in other domains or segments of the CAR. A method for preparing a CAR-T cell includes: introducing the CAR into a T cell; and culturing the CAR-introduced T cell, and performing specific activation in the culture process. The preparation method can not only increase the proportion of CAR-positive T cells in the product, but also can achieve specific in vitro amplification of the Tcm subset in the CAR-positive T cells, and significantly increases the proportion of Tcm in a final product. Clinical trials show that the CAR-T cells have significantly improved amplification capacity in vivo, and improved clinical safety and effectiveness.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: XUANWU HOSPITAL OF CAPITAL MEDICAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Zhiguo Chen, Yu Zhao
