Acquired cancer cell resistance to T cell bispecific antibodies and CAR T targeting HER2 through JAK2 down-modulation

Several mechanisms of resistance to T cell-engaging therapies have been described for solid tumors. Here, by using T cell bispecific antibodies and chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) T cells targeting HER2, the authors show that cancer cell intrinsic disruption of interferon-gamma signalling, includin...

Description
Summary:Several mechanisms of resistance to T cell-engaging therapies have been described for solid tumors. Here, by using T cell bispecific antibodies and chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) T cells targeting HER2, the authors show that cancer cell intrinsic disruption of interferon-gamma signalling, including downregulation of JAK2, confers resistance to T-cell mediated cytotoxicity.
