  • Publication number: 20210040449
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of generating modified T cells from engineered stem cells for use in an autologous or allogeneic setting for engineered immunotherapy. The knockout of endogenous TCR or HLA expression allows for engineering of modified pluripotent stem cells that reduce or eliminate the risk of Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD), provide resistance to elimination by a recipient's T cells and NK cells, and allow for controllable T cell activity. Thus, this method allows the development of T cells with reduced immune reactivity.
