Abstract

A nucleic acid for coding a chimeric antigen receptor protein expressed on the surface of a human T lymphocyte. The chimeric antigen receptor protein comprises an extracellular binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signal domain that are orderly connected. The extracellular binding domain comprises a single-chain antibody scFv (EGFR) for specific recognition of 287 th to 302 nd amino acid epitopes of a human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).

Claims (23)
