Compositions and methods for enhanced lymphocyte-mediated immunotherapy

Abstract

Lymphocytes having a suppressed autophagy gene useful in immunotherapy are disclosed. The lymphocytes can express an antigen targeting receptor such as a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or endogenous or engineered T-cell receptor to target cells expressing a tumor-specific antigen. Methods of making and using such lymphocytes are disclosed. Some such lymphocytes are useful in conducting CAR-T or TCR-T therapy.
