Tunable control of CAR T cell activity through tetracycline mediated disruption of protein–protein interaction
Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are a promising form of cancer immunotherapy, although they are often associated with severe toxicities. Here, we present a split-CAR design incorporating separate antigen recognition and intracellular signaling domains. These exploit the binding betw...
