A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11919961B2) outlines an ex vivo method for engineering T cells suitable for allogenic immunotherapy treatment of pre-malignant or malignant cancer conditions characterized by CD123-expressing cells. The method involves inactivating genes encoding T-cell receptor components and introducing a CD123 specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) into the T cell. The CAR includes specific sequences from a monoclonal anti-CD123 antibody, along with other structural components for effective targeting and signaling within the cell.

Furthermore, the patent details additional aspects of the method, such as the use of rare-cutting endonucleases for gene inactivation, suppression of major histocompatibility complex proteins, and reduction of immune checkpoint proteins in the engineered T cells. The engineered T cells expressing the CD123 specific CAR can be used in allogenic immunotherapy treatments for various types of leukemia and lymphoma. Additionally, the engineered T cells can be mutated to confer resistance to immune suppressive, chemotherapy, or anti-cancer drugs, enhancing their effectiveness in combating cancer. This patent provides a comprehensive guide for the development and application of engineered T cells in cancer immunotherapy, offering potential advancements in treatment strategies for patients in need.
