The answer is that they aren’t accessible to most immunotherapies because of where they are — inside the cancer cells. And that is where T cell receptor therapy has a huge advantage over other types ...
T-cell receptors (TCRs) recognize small protein fragments (peptides) that are displayed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. Each T cell expresses a unique TCR that is generated by randomly ...

According to new research in the journal Immunity, T cells have a nuclear receptor doing something very odd - but very important - to help them fight pathogens and destroy cancer cells.
T-cell gene rearrangement: This is a genetic test to show a group of cells with the same T-cell receptor, which confirms they all came from the same parent cell.
This receptor prompts the T-cells to actively destroy cancer cells, although its mechanism for recognizing tumors is not very precise, so the T-cells often attack healthy tissue as well.
It is the first T-cell receptor gene therapy to gain FDA approval. The approval was based on results from a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, clinical trial (SPEARHEAD-1, Cohort 1).
The added receptor on the T cell’s surface helps your immune system “see” specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells. In multiple myeloma cells, this is a protein called BCMA.
If you or a loved one has diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is no longer responding to treatment or came back after treatment, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy may be an option.
