Allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cell therapy

Cell therapies made from healthy donors in advance, so patients do not have to wait for their own cells to be engineered.

Gene-edited donor T cells (Allogene cema-cel, ALLO-316 CD70; Caribou; CRISPR Therapeutics) remove TCR and HLA to avoid rejection. Persistence is the main limitation. Also iPSC-derived platforms (Fate, Century).

Schematic · not to scale
T cell + CAR transgene · CAR binds antigen (no MHC needed) · Tumour cell · TCR / HLA knocked out (donor cell)

How it works

TRAC knockout prevents GVHD; B2M/HLA editing or CD52 knockout with alemtuzumab conditioning delays host rejection.

Strengths
  • Immediate availability, industrial scale
Limitations
  • Host rejection limits persistence
  • Deeper lymphodepletion
