CRISPR/Cas9 mediated deletion of the adenosine A2A receptor enhances CAR T cell efficacy

Activation of the adenosine receptor A2AR is associated with suppression of T cell function in the tumor microenvironment. To overcome immunosuppression, here the authors show that CRISPR/Cas9 mediated deletion of A2AR enhances CAR T cell effector functions without altering memory or persistence pro...
