Beschreibung:
Adoptive transfer of antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) has shown promising results in the treatment of autoimmune diseases; however, the use of polyspecific Tregs has limited effects. However, obtaining a sufficient number of antigen-specific Tregs from patients with autoimmune disorders remains challenging. Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) provide an alternative source of T cells for novel immunotherapies that redirect T cells independently of the MHC. In this study, we aimed to generate antibody-like single-chain variable fragments (scFv) and subsequent CARs against tetraspanin 7 (TSPAN7), a membrane protein highly expressed on the surface of pancreatic beta cells, using phage display technology. We established two methods for generating scFvs against TSPAN7 and other target structures. Moreover, we established novel assays to analyze and quantify their binding abilities. The resulting CARs were functional and activated specifically by the target structure, but could not recognize TSPAN7 on the surface of beta cells. Despite this, this study demonstrates that CAR technology is a powerful tool for generating antigen-specific T cells and provides new approaches for generating functional CARs.
