Adoptive cell transfer

Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) is the transfer of cells into a patient. The cells may have originated from the patient or from another individual. The cells are most commonly derived from the immune system, with the goal of improving immune functionality and characteristics. In cancer immunotherapy, t cells are extracted from the patient, genetically modified and cultured in vitro and returned to the same patient.
