Background: The use of programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors in the neoadjuvant setting for patients with resectable stage III NSCLC has revolutionized this field in recent years. However, there is still 40%-60% of patients do not benefit from this approach. The complex interactions between immune cell subtypes and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) may influence prognosis and the response to immunochemotherapy.

Introduction: T cells engineered to express antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCR; TCR-T) are a promising class of immunotherapeutic for patients with hematologic malignancies. Like chimeric antigen receptor-engineered T cells (CAR-T), TCR-T are cell products with defined specificity and composition. Unlike CAR-T, TCR-T can recognize targets arising both from intracellular and cell surface proteins and leverage the sensitivity of natural TCR signaling machinery.

Patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are subject to profound immune suppression. Dynamics of immune reconstitution (IR) and impacts of IR on outcomes following infusion across CAR-T products are not well understood. Here, we profiled IR in 263 patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma receiving CAR-T therapy (axicabtagene ciloleucel 44.

CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells have shown success in clinical studies, with several CD19 CAR-T cell products now having been approved for market use. However, this cell therapy can be associated with side effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Therefore, pre-clinical test systems are highly desired to permit the evaluation of these unwanted effects before clinical trials begin.

Immune homeostasis requires a balance of inflammatory and suppressive activities. To design cells potentially useful for local immune suppression, we engineered conventional CD4 T cells with synthetic Notch (synNotch) receptors driving antigen-triggered production of anti-inflammatory payloads. Screening a diverse library of suppression programs, we observed the strongest suppression of cytotoxic T cell attack by the production of both anti-inflammatory factors (interleukin-10, transforming growth factor-β1, programmed death ligand 1) and sinks for proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-2 receptor subunit CD25).
