    Abstract In this article, we discuss a recently published article that demonstrated a novel way of identifying viral pathogens reactivating in human cells to be used as cellular therapy, in this instance chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. The authors used search engines and databases to identify viruses able to reactivate in T cells and then tested this initially in T-cell cultures, specifically human herpesvirus 6. This virus was then shown to reactivate infrequently in vitro and in vivo in CAR T cells as a consequence of T-cell activation. The methodology may be most clinically useful for more frequently reactivating viruses in other types of cellular therapy such as allogenic CAR T cells or induced pluripotent stem cells.

    Abstract Objective: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is an emerging treatment for refractory hematologic malignancy. Unplanned ED presentations following CAR-T present the increasing need for an integrated model of care that allows for the early recognition of its specific complications.
    Methods: This is a prospective observational study at a tertiary centre. CAR-T patients (n = 17) were universally enrolled into a study registry by treating providers. These patients were flagged by investigators to trigger a pop-up notification CAR-T information warning at ED triage. Medical records were reviewed 90 days for unplanned presentations, complications and patient-oriented outcomes.
    Results: Patients receiving CAR-T frequently encountered toxicity within 7 days of therapy. This was typically mild and occurred in an inpatient setting. Medical record review revealed five unplanned ED presentations (that were recognised as post CAR-T) and not directly attributable to specific toxicities.
    Conclusion: If CAR-T therapy is to be used more widely especially in an outpatient model of care, a standardised ED model of care for recognition of specific complications is needed.

    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has dramatically revolutionised cancer treatment. The FDA approval of two CAR-T cell products for otherwise incurable refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) and aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has established this treatment as an effective immunotherapy option. The race for extending CAR-T therapy for various tumours is well and truly underway. However, response rates in solid organ cancers have been inadequate thus far, partly due to challenges posed by the tumour microenvironment (TME). The TME is a complex structure whose role is to subserve the persistence and proliferation of tumours as well as support their escape from immune surveillance. It presents several obstacles like inhibitory immune checkpoint proteins, immunosuppressive cells, cytokines, chemokines, stromal factors and adverse metabolic pathways. CAR structure and CAR-T therapies have evolved to overcome these obstacles, and we now have several novel CARs with improved anti-tumour activity demonstrated in xenograft models and in some clinical trials. This chapter provides a discussion of the evolution of CAR-T therapies to enable targeting specific aspects of the TME.

    Abstract Adoptive cell therapy using patient-derived chimeric receptor antigen (CAR) T cells redirected against tumor cells has shown remarkable success in treating hematologic cancers. However, wider accessibility of cellular therapies for all patients is needed. Manufacture of patient-derived CAR T cells is limited by prolonged lymphopenia in heavily pre-treated patients and risk of contamination with tumor cells when isolating T cells from patient blood rich in malignant blasts. Donor T cells provide a good source of immune cells for adoptive immunotherapy and can be used to generate universal off-the-shelf CAR T cells that are readily available for administration into patients as required. Genome editing tools such as TALENs and CRISPR-Cas9 and non-gene editing methods such as short hairpin RNA and blockade of protein expression are currently used to enhance CAR T cell safety and efficacy by abrogating non-specific toxicity in the form of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and preventing CAR T cell rejection by the host.

    Abstract Although the advent of ART has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV infection, the stable pool of HIV in latently infected cells requires lifelong treatment adherence, with the cessation of ART resulting in rapid reactivation of the virus and productive HIV infection. Therefore, these few cells containing replication-competent HIV, known as the latent HIV reservoir, act as the main barrier to immune clearance and HIV cure. While several strategies involving HIV silencing or its reactivation in latently infected cells for elimination by immune responses have been explored, exciting cell based immune therapies involving genetically engineered T cells expressing synthetic chimeric receptors (CAR T cells) are highly appealing and promising. CAR T cells, in contrast to endogenous cytotoxic T cells, can function independently of MHC to target HIV-infected cells, are efficacious and have demonstrated acceptable safety profiles and long-term persistence in peripheral blood. In this review, we present a comprehensive picture of the current efforts to target the HIV latent reservoir, with a focus on CAR T cell therapies. We highlight the current challenges and advances in this field, while discussing the importance of novel CAR designs in the efforts to find a HIV cure.

    Abstract T-cells expressing synthetic chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have revolutionized immuno-oncology and highlighted the use of adoptive cell transfer, for the treatment of cancer. The phenomenal clinical success obtained in the treatment of hematological malignancies with CAR T-cells has not been reproduced in the treatment of solid tumors, mainly due to the suppressive and hostile tumor microenvironment (TME). This review will address the immunosuppressive features of the TME, which include the stroma, cytokine and chemokine milieu, suppressive regulatory cells and hypoxic conditions, which can all pose formidable barriers for the effective anti-tumor function of CAR T-cells. Some of the novel next generation CARs that have been developed and tested against the TME, will be discussed, to highlight the status of current research in CAR T-cell therapy for solid tumors.

    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting CD19 have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in the treatment of B cell malignancies. Current CAR T cell manufacturing protocols are complex and costly due to their reliance on viral vectors. Non-viral systems of genetic modification, such as with transposase and transposon systems, offer a potential streamlined alternative for CAR T cell manufacture and are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. In this study, we utilized the previously described transposase from the little brown bat, designated

    Methods and results: Using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models of CD19
    Conclusion: We propose that treatment with AZA activates OX40L/OX40 co-stimulatory signaling in CAR T cells. Our data suggest that the clinical use of AZA before CAR T cells could be considered.
