Table 2.
Strategies | Mechanism of actions | Examples |
---|---|---|
Chemokine receptors expression on CAR T cells | Improved CAR T cell recruitment and migration | CCR2b, CCR4 (CCL17 receptor), CCL2, CCL17 and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor |
Armed oncolytic adenovirus | Increase CAR T cell survival | Oncolytic virus engineered to express CCL5 and interleukin 15. |
Engineered CAR T cells to secrete heparanase | Increase CAR T cell penetration into tumor cells | Degrade the extracellular matrix |
Local delivery of CAR T cells | Direct delivery of CAR T cells into tumor site | Catheter infusion, intracranial, delivery, intracavitary, intraventricular and localized infusion through the hepatic artery |
CAR, Chimeric antigen receptor; CCR, C-C chemokine receptor type; CCL, C-C motif chemokine ligand;
