Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of 'off-the-shelf' allogeneic therapeutic cells for immunotherapy in conjunction with chemotherapy to treat patients with cancer. In particular, the inventors develop a method of engineering allogeneic T-cell resistant to chemotherapeutic agents. The therapeutic benefits afforded by this strategy should be enhanced by the synergistic effects between chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for modifying T-cells by inactivating at least one gene encoding T-cell receptor component and by modifying said T-cells to confer drug resistance. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies for treating cancer.
