    摘要: Provided are polypeptides that include, from N-terminus to C-terminus, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), a protease, and a degron, where the polypeptide further includes a cleavage site for the protease disposed between the CAR and the degron. Also provided are cells that include such polypeptides (e.g., where the cells express the CAR on their surface) and pharmaceutical compositions including such cells. Nucleic acids that encode the polypeptides, cells including such nucleic acids, and pharmaceutical compositions including such cells, are also provided. Also provided are methods for controlling the expression of a CAR on the surface of a cell, and methods of using the cells of the present disclosure, including methods of using such cells to administer a regulatable CAR cell-based therapy (e.g., a regulatable CAR T cell therapy) to an individual.
