Description
Color enhanced scanning electron microscope image of breast cancer cells (adenocarcinoma) of the line MDA-MB-231. On the cancer cell sit two chimera antigen receptor cells (beige). CAR cells are used for immunotherapy against cancer. In this form of immunotherapy, T cells are obtained from the patient's blood and are modified by viral vectors to additionally express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) recognizing a specific tumor antigen. After the multiplication of these CAR-expressing T cells in vitro, they are transfused back into the patient and can directly detect the cancer cells carrying the antigen. If the CAR-T cell binds to a tumor cell, the CAR-T cell is activated and appropriate immune defense is initiated. Magnification is 2670x at 10 cm wide.
