The disclosure relates to adoptive cell therapy compositions including a population of isolated immune cells that are obtained from a donor subject. The immune cells can be modified to suppress Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK), delta isoform of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), helios, blimp1, SOCS1, GATA3, IL-10, STAT3, TOX, CD25, foxp3, Ezh2, TGF-beta Receptor II, LAG-3, PD-1, TNF-alpha, or combinations thereof. The immune cells are optionally depleted of CD8+ T cells by about 10-fold or greater relative to un-depleted leukocytes.
