abstract |
The presently disclosed subject matter provides for methods and compositions for treating cancer (e.g., pancratic cancer). It relates to antigen recognizing receptor (e.g., chimeric antigen receptors (CARs)) that specifically target Sialyl Lewis A (e.g., human Sialyl Lewis A), and immunoresponsive cells comprising such CARs. The presently disclosed Sialyl Lewis A-specific CARs have enhanced immune-activating properties, including anti-tumor activity. |
