A Chemical Switch System to Modulate Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Activity through Proteolysis-Targeting Chimaera Technology.

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2020
Despite the excellent efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR T) cell therapy, concerns about its safety have been constantly raised. The side effects of CAR T cells result from an aberrantly upregulation of CAR T cell activity.
