On-Demand Webinar: Quantifying T cell Exhaustion: An Insight into BiTE antibodies and CAR-T cells for Improved Therapeutics

T cell exhaustion is recognized as a major challenge in the development of immuno-oncology therapies. It is a broad term used to describe the loss of effector function due to chronic antigen exposure, and commonly occurs within the tumor microenvironment, impairing the T cells ability to effectively eradicate cancerous cells.

The development of tumor specific immunotherapies focuses on overcoming this exhausted phenotype of T cells, to allow targeted killing of the tumor.

The key highlights of this webinar are:

• An explanation of how Bispecific T cell Engager (BiTE) antibodies in an immune cell killing assay affect T cell exhaustion
• Consideration of the influence of target cells on CAR-T cell exhaustion
• A discussion on use of the iQue® advanced flow cytometry platform, to quantify T cell exhaustion phenotypes and cytokine release
