The immunotherapy approach, which is already approved for use in the treatment of some types of cancer, induced rapid clinical remission of severe and refractory disease with no notable
adverse effects. The 20-year-old female patient underwent leukapheresis and preparatory lymphodepleting chemotherapy before receiving an infusion of autologous CAR T cells that had been
genetically engineered to recognize the B cell surface antigen CD19. Following the infusion, the CD19 CAR T cells expanded in vivo, increasing from 0.31% of total circulating T cells at day
3 to 27.69% at day 9, and remained detectable during the subsequent 7 weeks. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your
