Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as a major treatment for aggressive B cell tumors, with potential for additional malignancies. However, its high production costs, which are caused by single-use reagents for T cell activation and clinical-grade viral vectors, prevent its widespread application. The development of a cell-based artificial T cell stimulator that allows for continuous T cell stimulation might provide a cost-effective and efficient alternative to CAR-T cell activation, thereby reducing production costs and broadening access to this therapy.
Improved T cell activation
Artificial T cell stimulators can more closely mimic the natural interactions between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (like dendritic cells), leading to a more physiological and potentially more effective T cell activation.
Reduced manufacturing costs
Artificial T cell stimulators can more closely mimic the natural interactions between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (like dendritic cells), leading to a more physiological and potentially more effective T cell activation.
Enhanced T cell function
Studies suggest that artificial T cell stimulators-activated CAR T cells may exhibit improved characteristics, such as increased potency and persistence in the body.

Featured Advantages
Background: Autologous CD19 CAR T-cell treatments have been extremely effective in treating specific blood malignancies. However, their efficacy can be hampered by limited and uneven T-cell functioning, which varies greatly between patients. This heterogeneity is determined by factors such as the patient's underlying health status and the quality of the initial T-cell population.
Method: This study investigated the impact of a novel artificial T cell stimulator scaffold on CAR T-cell functionality. This innovative artificial T cell stimulator platform utilizes a physiological fluid bilayer to precisely deliver critical T-cell stimulatory ligands, namely anti-CD3 and anti-CD28, at well-defined densities. A diverse set of blood samples was collected, including those from healthy donors and patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL), representing a spectrum of patient health status. These samples were then used to generate a library of CAR T-cell products using the artificial T cell stimulator scaffold.
Results: By employing this synthetic artificial T cell stimulator platform, the study successfully generated a library of CAR T-cell products from both healthy and patient blood samples (ALL and CLL). This platform, with its ability to precisely control the delivery of T-cell stimulatory signals, provides a valuable tool for investigating and potentially optimizing CAR T-cell production and function across diverse patient populations.
