    Abstract: The present invention pertains to engineered immune cells, method for their preparation and their use as medicament, particularly for immunotherapy. The engineered immune cells of the present invention are characterized in that at least one gene selected from a gene encoding GCN2 and a gene encoding PRDM1 is inactivated or repressed. Such modified Immune cells are resistant to an arginine and/or tryptophan depleted microenvironment caused by, e.g., tumor cells, which makes the immune cells of the invention particularly suitable for immunotherapy. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies using immune cells for treating different types of malignancies.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及工程改造的免疫细胞,其制备方法及其用作药物,特别是用于免疫治疗。 本发明的工程化免疫细胞的特征在于,选自编码GCN2的基因和编码PRDM1的基因的至少一种基因被灭活或抑制。 这种修饰的免疫细胞对由例如肿瘤细胞引起的精氨酸和/或色氨酸消耗的微环境具有抗性,这使得本发明的免疫细胞特别适用于免疫治疗。 本发明开启了使用免疫细胞治疗不同类型恶性肿瘤的标准和负担得起的过继免疫治疗策略的方法。
