Genetically-modified T lymphocytes expressing T cell receptors (chTCR) specific for tumor cells have been widely investigated for cancer therapy. chTCR is an approach that uses the gene encoding modified TCR or monoclonal antibody chains to endow the TCR with high affinity to tumor associated antigens (TAAs). Typically, chTCR consists of three functional regions: extracellular domains, transmembrane domains and intracellular signaling domains. The extracellular fragments made from TCR or tumor-specific antibody are designed to recognize and bind target cells such as cancer cells. As shown in the figure A, the TCR can be conventional or a single chain and the specific antibody can be Fab or single-chain variable fragment (scFv). ScFv is used more frequently than Fab in recent researches. Transmembrane domain is important to overcome the mispairing of chTCR with endogenous TCR chains. To proliferate and respond on an antigen, T cells relies on the co-stimulatory signals. Accordingly, the transmembrane and intracellular signaling domains may be derived from primary activation molecules, co-stimulatory molecules and intracellular protein kinases, such as CD3ζ or FcεRI. A hinge is constructed for linking the extracellular fragments and signaling domains. Additionally, the modification of primary human T cells from healthy donors could be used to generate humanized chTCR (hchTCR) specific for adoptive T cell immunotherapy for cancers. As the chTCR is not restricted by MHC molecules which natural TCR depends on the generated supernatural T cells can be an ideal tool in cancer therapy.
