Abstract

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) in the canonical “second generation” format provide two signals for inducing T cell effector functions; the primary “signal-1” is provided through the TCR CD3ζ chain and the “signal-2” through a linked costimulatory domain to augment activation. While therapy with second generation CAR T cells can induce remissions of leukemia/lymphoma in a spectacular fashion, ...
