Glycan shielding enables TCR-sufficient allogeneic CAR-T therapy SPPL3 deletion modifies glycosylation on primary T cells, reducing allogeneic immune responses without impairing tumor control by anti-CD19 allogeneic CAR-T cells. SPPL3-null, TCR-sufficient anti-CD19...

This is absolutely the most significant glycobiology paper so far this year. Increasing cell surface N-glycosylation makes viable allo CAR-T cells without deleting the endogenous TCR #glycotime
