Abstract:

Methods for reducing blood-brain barrier disruption in a subject treated with immunotherapy, the method comprising administering a recombinant GM-CSF antagonist to the subject. Methods for preserving blood-brain barrier integrity in a subject treated with immunotherapy, the method comprising administering a recombinant hGM-CSF antagonist to the subject. Methods for decreasing or preventing CAR-T cell therapy-induced neuroinflammation in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering a recombinant GM-CSF antagonist to the subject. Methods for preventing or reducing blood-brain barrier in a subject treated with immunotherapy, the method comprising administering CAR-T cells having a GM-CSF gene knockout (GM-CSF.sup.k/o CAR-T cells) to the subject.
