Abstract:
The potential impact of epigenetic profiles on adoptive T cell immunotherapies is currently unknown. In a recent study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Garcia-Prieto et al. show that specific DNA methylation profiles of CD19-CAR T cells are associated with improved clinical outcome of patients with B cell malignancies.
