There are several types of lymphocyte therapy, including:
- Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy: This involves removing TILs from a patient's tumor and expanding them in a laboratory before returning them to the patient. The expanded TILs are able to recognize and attack cancer cells.
- Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy: This involves removing T-cells from a patient's blood and genetically modifying them in a laboratory to express CARs, which are proteins that enable the T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. The modified T-cells are then infused back into the patient's body.
- T-cell receptor (TCR) therapy: This involves modifying T-cells in a laboratory to express TCRs, which are proteins that enable the T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. The modified T-cells are then infused back into the patient's body.
