Figure 2Suicide T cell therapy using adoptively transferred T cells. T cells can be engineered to express conditional suicide switches so that the T cells die when a drug is administered that activates the switch and causes apoptosis. Suicide constructs have been incorporated into allogeneic T cells that can be ablated in the event of GVHD and into autologous T cells that can be ablated in the event of toxicity or uncontrolled T cell proliferation.
