In various embodiments methods are provided that involve the use of antibody-interferon (Ab-IFN) fusion proteins to boost the cancer-fighting capacity of adoptive T cell therapies (ACT), including any T cells that are manipulated and grown outside the body, then returned to the patient with the goal of having the infused T cells home to sites of tumor and destroy the cancer in an immunologic attack. Illustrative, but non-limiting, adoptive T cell therapies include chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), virus-specific T cells, and T cell receptor transgenic T cells.
