Abstract
Human cancer cells were eradicated by adoptive transfer of T cells transduced with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) made from an antibody (237Ab) that is highly specific for the murine Tn-glycosylated podoplanin (Tn-PDPN). The objectives were to determine the specificity of these CAR-transduced T (CART) cells and the mechanism for the absence of relapse. We show that although the 237Ab bound only to cell lines expressing murine Tn-PDPN, the 237Ab-derived 237CART cells lysed multiple different human and murine cancers not predicted by the 237Ab binding. Nevertheless, the 237CART cell reactivities remained cancer specific because all recognitions were dependent on the Tn glycosylation that resulted from COSMC mutations that were not present in normal tissues. While Tn was required for the recognition by 237CART, Tn alone was not sufficient for 237CART cell activation. Activation of 237CART cells required peptide backbone recognition but tolerated substitutions of up to 5 of the 7 amino acid residues in the motif recognized by 237Ab. Together, these findings demonstrate what we believe is a new principle whereby simultaneous recognition of multiple independent Tn-glycopeptide antigens on a cancer cell makes tumor escape due to antigen loss unlikely.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
