Title:
USE OF GLUCOSYLCERAMIDE SYNTHASE GENE-DEFICIENT T CELL AND THERAPEUTIC UTILIZATION THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/085414
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides: an activated T cell in which the expression of an immune checkpoint molecule is suppressed; a method for preparing the T cell; and a method for screening a substance which is usable in preparing the T cell. More specifically, a means for solving the problem of the present invention comprises: a method for producing or inducing a T cell in which the expression of an immune checkpoint molecule is not induced, said method comprising reducing or losing the function of glucosylceramide synthase (UGCG) or a ganglioside of a T cell; and a T cell having been produced or induced by this method.
