Efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T in solid tumors are limited by the antigen heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment (TME) induced exhaustion. The authors here manifested that Nr2f6-deficient CAR-T cells have superior anti-tumor effect compared with traditional CAR-T cells, which is associated with enhanced cytotoxic function, followed by durable response due to epitope spreading.
