An Immune Response to ALL
| Challenge: | Health | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Montreal | | City: | Montreal, QC | | School: | Collège Marianopolis | | Abstract: | This project proposes an immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This is done by transducing self-regenerating hematopoietic stem cells, with an anti-CD22 gene and a promoter to maximize the expressivity of the gene in only cytotoxic immune cells. The gene codes for a receptor targeting CD22: a protein found on the surface of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. |
