CD38 CAR Binder Structures and Rational Affinity Tuning
2026-08-19
This pre-proof iScience study structurally compares the CD38 binders RP02 and 028, showing that they recognize distinct epitopes and differ in their effects on CD38 enzymatic activity. Its affinity-tuned 028R103G CAR reduced fratricide while retaining antitumor cytotoxicity, illustrating how structural information can guide safer CD38 CAR design.
