Reduced fucosylation in t cells for cancer treatment
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11891644B2) discloses a method for producing T cells with reduced surface fucosylation. The method involves culturing T cells in the presence of a fucose analog in a cell culture medium. Additionally, the process includes isolating the T cells with reduced surface fucosylation, with specific fucose analogs such as 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose and alkynyl fucose peracetate being utilized in the method.
Furthermore, the patent claims specify that the T cells targeted for reduced surface fucosylation are human peripheral T cells, with a significant reduction of at least 85%, 90%, or 95% relative to T cells cultured without the fucose analog. This innovative method offers a promising approach for manipulating T cell surface characteristics, potentially opening new avenues for therapeutic applications in various medical fields.
