Adoptively transferred macrophages for cancer immunotherapy by Jennifer L Guerriero, Kyung Soo Park, Alexander P Gottlieb, Morgan E Janes, Supriya Prakash, Neha Kapate, Vineeth Chandran Suja, Lily Li-Wen Wang, Samir Mitragotri

“…The macrophage-based immunotherapy produced a strong CD8+T cell response along with robust natural killer and CD4+T cell activation, inducing a “hot” tumor transition and achieving effective tumor suppression.Conclusions Owing to their inherent ability to home to and infiltrate inflamed tissues, macrophage-based cancer immunotherapies exhibited a unique in vivo trafficking behavior, efficiently reaching and persisting within tumors. Macrophages orchestrated a multiarmed immune attack led by CD8+T cells, with the potential for local, intratumoral activation of effector cells, demonstrating a novel cancer immunotherapy platform with meaningfully different characteristics than clinically evaluated alternatives.…”
