Is Storing Your Immune Cells Really Worth It?
While cryopreserving cell tissue, stem cells and other blood products is nothing novel, the emerging field of immune cell banking certainly is. Immune cells are all the cells that make up your immune system, including T-cells, B-cells, NK cells, neutrophils cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, etc. They are your body’s first line of defense against infection and disease. New immunotherapies, such as CAR T-cell, CAR NK and dendritic cell therapies, are currently being developed to leverage those cells and offer new, experimental treatment options for cancer patients.
Storing immune cells may be a fairly new concept, but the potential benefits of storing immune cells have made forward-thinking, health-conscious individuals take notice. [Read more…]
History of CAR-T Cell Therapy Spans 60+ Years
The groundbreaking approvals of two CAR-T therapies in 2017 was the climax of more than sixty years of devoted research. In the 1950s, the discovery of bone marrow transplantation laid the foundation for developing CAR-T therapy, as it was the first time that living cells were infused into blood cancer patients for the control of cancer.
As early as 1900s, researchers were becoming aware that T cells could easily search, recognize and kill cancer cells. To do this, the cells need a “guide” to direct them to the tumors, and thus, antibodies emerged as a valuable scientific and medical tool. [Read more…]
