| Abstract | Adoptive T cell therapies for solid tumors is challenging. To address the inefficiency of T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), metabolically enhanced co-activated-T cells were produced by transducing intracellular co-stimulatory (41BB, ICOS or ICOS-27 and CD3ζ T cell receptor signaling domains followed by arming with bispecific antibodies (BiAbs) to produce armed “Bionic T cells” (BTC). The goal was to improve effector functions of BTC and enhance survival in the hypoxic TME. Various BTC armed with BiAb directed at CD3ε and various tumor associated antigens were tested for: 1) specific cytotoxicity against solid tumors targets; 2) repeated and dual sequential cytotoxicity; 3) survival and cytotoxicity in a hypoxia; and 4) cytokine secretion. The 41BBζ transduced BTC (BTC41BBζ armed with HER2 BiAb (HER2 BTC41BBζ or armed with EGFR BiAb (EGFR BTC41BBζ killed multiple tumor lines at effector to target ratio (E:T) of 2:1 or 1:1 significantly better than control T cells and secreted Th1 cytokines/chemokines upon tumor engagement. HER2 BTC serially killed tumor targets up to 14 days. Sequential targeting of EGFR or HER2 positive tumors with HER2 BTC41BBζ followed by EGFR BTC41BBζ showed significantly increased cytotoxicity compared single antigen targeting and continue to kill under hypoxic conditions. In summary, metabolically enhanced bionic T cells are effective serial killers of tumor targets, secrete cytokines and chemokines, and continue to kill under hypoxic conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
