CD28 and ovarian carcinoma: In this study, two conventional second-generation MSLN-CAR T cell constructs encoding for either a CD28 co-stimulatory (M28z) or 4-1BB costimulatory (MBBz) domain and a novel mesothelin (MSLN)-directed CAR T cell construct encoding for the CD28 costimulatory domain and CD3ζ chain containing a single ITAM (M1xx) were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo preclinical models of ovarian cancer.
