Car vector expressing immune regulatory factor and application thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of bioengineering, and in particular to a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expression vector and use thereof. The CAR expression vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding a CAR and full length or fragment of a polynucleotide encoding a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). The CAR-GM-T cell constructed by the present invention is capable of expressing high-level GM-CSF, not only directly enhancing killing activity of the CAR-GM-T cell per se but also facilitating the infiltration of the CAR-GM-T cell into a solid tumor. The CAR-GM-T cell has a stronger immune modulation function compared to the conventional CAR-T cell and systematically triggers the endogenous anti-tumor immune response, thereby achieving superior therapeutic efficacy against a solid tumor.
