Synthetic TRuC receptors engaging the complete T cell receptor for potent anti-tumor response

Supraphysiological T cell activation by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) contributes to T cell exhaustion and adverse events in CAR T cell therapies. Here the authors engineer a synthetic antigen receptor that integrates into the endogenous TCR complex, preserving natural regulatory circuits and achi...

Description
Summary:Supraphysiological T cell activation by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) contributes to T cell exhaustion and adverse events in CAR T cell therapies. Here the authors engineer a synthetic antigen receptor that integrates into the endogenous TCR complex, preserving natural regulatory circuits and achieving improved performance in mouse tumor models.
