New T-Cell Therapies for Brain Metastasis, CD133 in the Driver's Seat

Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Feb 1;30(3):477-479. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3051.

Abstract

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer therapy for some advanced cancers, but success is predicated on identifying the correct cell surface target. In a recent article, the authors leveraged the cancer stem cell surface antigen CD133 to develop a CAR-T therapy for brain metastasis. See related article by Kieliszek et al., p. 554.
