Abstract

Redirecting T cell effector functions towards pre-defined target cells represents an attractive concept in the adoptive immunotherapy of malignant diseases. Our understanding of the mechanisms of T cell activation and costimulation as well as the design of recombinant T cell receptors have made major progress in the last years. Translating recent concepts of T cell stimulation into recombinant protein design provides the basis to engineer T cells with both pre-defined specificity and costimulatory capacity in order to enhance anti-tumor immunity and to break tolerance. Dual signaling immunoreceptors providing the CD3ζ signal simultaneously with an appropriate costimulatory signal moreover allows to modulate the quality of the anti-tumor T cell response in a predicted fashion.
