Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. This continues to be the standard of care.

Dr Megan MacBride and Dr Caroline Horizny Mitchell , Taconic, examine recent changes to animal testing in drug design. Drug discovery and development is an arduous process that can cost upwards of $2.6 billion and take over 10 years. This stage is more highly regulated and consists of both preclinical testing and clinical trials.

Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) of melanoma were grafted into hIL2 mice, and TILs derived from the same melanoma patient were reactivated and expanded in vitro with IL2 and used to treat the PDX engrafted in the mice. However, adverse effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity still occur. Jespersen et al.
