Happy to share our new paper out yesterday in @ScienceTM from my post doc lab @RVilePhD! The native TCR in CAR T cells is important and can be leveraged with OV-derived antigens.
science.org
Viral antigens and virally encoded antigens expand CAR T cells and endow them with potent antitumor phenotypic and functional properties.
