CAR-T cell-mediated depletion of immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages promotes endogenous antitumor immunity and augments adoptive immunotherapy

Several strategies have been attempted to target immune suppressive populations in the tumor microenvironment. Here the authors show that folate receptor β-targeted CAR-T cells eliminate immunosuppressive tumor associated macrophages, promoting endogenous antitumor immune responses and adoptive T-ce...
