  • Publication number: 20230257713
    Abstract: An immunotherapy method of targeted chemokine and cytokine delivery by a mesenchymal stem cell that expresses an immunostimulatory factor. The immunostimulatory factor is selected from the following group: CCL3, CCL19, CCL21, XCL1, CXCL9, OX40L, 4-1BBL, GITRL, CD40L, or a combination thereof. At a tumor site, the mesenchymal stem cell specifically attracts and activates an immune cell that kills tumor tissue, and the mesenchymal stem cell has a synergistic effect with chemokines and/or cytokines, having an immunotherapeutic effect with higher efficiency and few side effects, and a significantly enhanced ability to kill tumor tissue, especially colorectal cancer cells.
