Summary:Immune cell engineered to inhibit the endogenous expression of one or more of Blimp-1 and A20 and/or overexpress one or more of exogenous TCF7 and Bach2. Method of treating cancer, comprising administering the cells described herein. Method of increasing one or more of a peak fold proliferation rate, a killing efficiency, or inducing the cellular characteristics associated with naïve phenotype of an immune cell, comprising introducing an exogenous construct encoding a CAR or a TCR, and inhibiting the endogenous expression of one or more of Blimp-1 and A20, and/or introducing an exogenous construct encoding one or more of TCF7 and Bach2. Method of generating a modified immune cell, comprising introducing an exogenous construct encoding a CAR or a TCR, and inhibiting the endogenous expression of one or more of Blimp-1 and A20, and/or introducing an exogenous construct encoding one or more of TCF7 and B ach2.
