ndicate whether each of the following 5 statements (a-e) is TRUEor FALSE.  If you think a statement is FALSE, explainexactly what is incorrect and provide the correct information.

a.  TRUE / FALSE   In treating B cellleukemia, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells function bybinding to a B cell specific antigen, such as CD19, in the form ofa peptide presented on MHC

b.  TRUE / FALSE    CAR T cellsexpress a chimeric antigen receptor that is composed of a TCRextracellular domain and a CTLA-4 intracellular domain

c.  TRUE / FALSE   Many tumors expressPD-L1 which enables tumor-infiltrating T cells that express PD1 torecognize the tumor cells and destroy them.

d.  TRUE / FALSE   Oncolytic virusimmunotherapy involves: 1) selective viral infection of tumorcells, resulting in tumor cell death, and 2) the induction of localinflammation, leading to an amplification of systemic anti-tumorimmune responses, resulting in elimination of uninfected metastatictumors.

e.  TRUE / FALSE   In adoptive celltherapy for cancer, immune cells are harvested from a patient,activated in vitro or genetically engineered to enhancetheir anti-tumor activity, then injected back into thepatient.  Such cells can be used to treat other patientswith the same type of cancer.

ANSWER A The correct answer is TRUE The Tcells are basically genetically engineered by means of which the above mentioned chimeric antigen receptor CAR are being made which in turn are used in specific recognition and binding to an antigen associated with the Bcell called as CD19 and this in turn specifies the statement to be true ANSWER B The correct answer is FALSE The extracellular domain is not    See Answer
