CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has achieved remarkable
efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
(B-ALL) [
[1]
,
[2]
], and two anti-CD19 CAR-T cell products were approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration
for clinical use in 2017. However, a suitable target antigen for acute myeloid leukaemia
(AML) or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) has not been identified yet,
although some preclinical studies and clinical trials have shown promising effects
of CAR-T cell therapy against AML or T-ALL by targeting different antigens such as
CD123, CD44v6, Lewis Y, FLT3 or CD7 [
