Although all three antigens were highly expressed, sustained exposure to B7-H3 CAR-T cells led to significant B7-H3 downregulation but concurrent EGFR upregulation, revealing a potential immune escape mechanism. The findings suggest that arming B7-H3 CAR-T cells with EGFR-targeting bispecific engagers represents a promising strategy to overcome antigen heterogeneity and improve therapeutic outcomes for GBM patients.
Countstar Connection
The study used Countstar (model not specified) for cell-count assessment in the study's cell samples during quality assessment in the 2026 Molecular biomedicine study.
