This approach has recently been translated to solid tumors as well: CRISPR/Cas9 was used to knock out PD-1 in T cells while simultaneously transducing them with a CD133-specific CAR, and the resulting PD-1 KO CARs showed improved tumor control in a mouse glioma model compared with control CD133 CARs (140). The gene discussed is PROM1; the disease is neoplasm.
