The Art and Science of Selecting a CD123-Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor for Clinical Testing

This study compares five CD123-CAR constructs to select a candidate for clinical trials in AML. Using G-Rex plates for expansion, researchers identified a CD28.CD28z CAR with superior expression and function. This construct was selected for a phase 1 clinical study targeting relapsed/refractory AML.
