An MHC-restricted antibody-based chimeric antigen receptor requires TCR-like affinity to maintain antigen specificity

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are synthetic receptors that usually redirect T cells to surface antigens independent of human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Here, we investigated a T cell receptor-like CAR based on an antibody that recognizes HLA-A*0201 presenting a peptide epitope derived from the can...
