Abstract
Populations of CAR T cells that exhibit reduced trogocytosis are disclosed, as well as methods for making such cells and methods of using such cells in the treatment of cancer. A reduction in trogocytosis is achieved by inhibiting Cathepsin B in the CAR T cells and/or inducing ubiquitylation of cancer antigens taken up by the CAR T cells.
