3 Modified cells are allowed to multiply
4 Engineered T-cells are infused back into patient where the new antigen receptors allow them to target and destroy the cancer cells
1 A sample of the patient's T-cells (a type of white blood cell involved in fighting infection) is taken from their blood
2 In the lab these cells have genetically modified sensor cells (antigen receptors) added to them that can seek out certain cancers
