CD229 CAR T cells eliminate multiple myeloma and tumor propagating cells without fratricide

CD229 is expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells, as well as B and T lymphocytes. Here, the authors engineer CD229-specific CAR T cells and, using patient samples and mouse models, show that treatment with these cells reduces tumour burden and results in limited targeting of T cells.
