- We have constructed a single retroviral vector that contains a chimeric T cell receptor (CAR) that recognizes the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (VEGFR2), which can be used to mediate genetic transfer of this CAR with high efficiency (> 50%) without the need to perform any selection. Administration of VEGFR2 CAR transduced cells inhibited tumor growth in several different models in different mouse strains.
