chimeric antigen receptor

AKA CAR. A synthesized protein receptor introduced to a collection of a patient’s T-cells containing a region that binds to an antigen site on a targeted cell (e.g. a cancer cell).  After the t-cell has bound to the targeted antigen another region of the CAR signals the T-cell to attack and kill the cell it has bound to.
