Abstract
A population of genetically engineered T cells, comprising a disrupted Reg1 gene and/or a disrupted TGFBRII gene. Such genetically engineered T cells may comprise further genetic modifications, for example, a disrupted CD70 gene. The population of genetically engineered T cells exhibit one or more of (a) improved cell growth activity; (b) enhanced persistence; and (c) reduced T cell exhaustion, (d) enhanced cytotoxicity activity, (e) resistant to inhibitory effects induced by TGF-b, and (f) resistant to inhibitory effects by fibroblasts and/or inhibitory factors secreted thereby, as compared to non-engineered T cell counterparts.
