Inefficient exploitation of accessory receptors reduces the sensitivity of chimeric antigen receptors

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) can redirect T cells to target abnormal cells, but their activity is limited by a profound defect in antigen sensitivity, the source of which remains unclear. Here, we show that CARs have a > 100-fold lower antigen sensitivity compared to the T cell receptor (TCR...
