[Basic Research and Clinical Development of Regenerative Immunotherapy Using iPS Cells].

In recent years, cell-based immunotherapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)-T cell therapy, have greatly advanced the treatment of some hematological malignancies, especially those resistant to other therapies. Nevertheless, there are significant obstacles to the clinical application of current autologous therapies, such as high cost, challenging large-scale manufacturing, and difficulty obtaining long-term therapeutic efficacy due to T cell exhaustion. Induced pluripotent stem(iPS)cells have the potential to solve these problems through their unlimited proliferative capacity and differentiation potency to every type of cell in a body. Furthermore, iPS cells can be genetically engineered and differentiated into various types of immune cells, providing an unlimited resource for the development of"off-the-shelf"cell therapies. Here, we review the clinical development status of regenerative immunotherapies using iPS cell-derived CD8 killer T cells and natural killer(NK)cells and outline regenerative immunotherapies using natural killer T(NKT)cells, γδ T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T(MAIT)cells, and macrophages.
