ICLE 2022 | Measuring cell avidity to assess the efficacy of T-cell therapies

Cell avidity is defined as the binding strength between two cells, and is vital the development of immunotherapies as it is a way to measure how efficacious the therapies are at binding to their target cells. Yotam Bar-Ephraim, PhD, LUMICKS, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, discusses techniques to measure cell avidity to determine the efficacy of various T-cell therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T and natural killer (NK) cell therapies. The z-Movi instrument measures the strength of the immunological synapse between the target cell and the T-cell. This interview took place at the International Conference on Lymphocyte Engineering (ICLE) 2022.
