Rapid method of isolating tumor-targeting T cells could propel personalized cancer treatment

(Scripps Research Institute) When it comes to defeating cancer, some immune cells are mightier than others. But even the best-trained eye and today's advanced scientific tools have trouble discerning the most powerful tumor-fighting cells from the rest. A new technique developed by Scripps Research scientist Peng Wu, PhD, aims to change that--offering a new platform that could propel personalized cancer treatments that have been hindered due to the challenges of isolating the most useful immune cells in patients.
