logic-gated CAR forms
Also known as: logic-gated CARs
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
We describe the structural features, including solubility, chemical resistance, and modularity that facilitate the advanced development of bispecific, trivalent, and logic-gated CAR forms.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
Logic-gated CAR forms are presented as advanced CAR architectures enabled by VHH structural properties. The abstract names them as part of the design space supported by nanobody modularity.; advanced CAR architecture design; modular CAR engineering
