The impact of CD3ζ ITAM multiplicity and sequence on CAR T-cell survival and function by Shubhabrata Majumdar, Hilda Echelibe, Maria Bettini, Matthew L. Bettini

“…The signaling differences were reflected in their functional activation profiles with T-cells expressing ζAAA CARs having a strong activation profile and ζCCC CARs having a weak activation profile. ζCCC CAR T cells were less prone to differentiation and exhaustion.DiscussionSince, weaker signaling ζCCC CARs favored less cell death, exhaustion and differentiation, they might be better candidates for improving long term survival and persistence of CAR T cells in patients.…”
