Project Details

Description

Multiple myeloma (MM) treatment with T cells engineered to express antigen receptors (CARs) shown promising responses yet with room for improvement. Therefore, we propose to develop B7-H3 nano CAR-T cells that produce HMGB1-blocking peptides allowing us to study simultaneously the novel B7-H3 target and recently identified immune suppressor HMGB1, thereby enhancing the functionality of the CAR-T therapy. If successful, the results of this project can be translated to the clinic.
