The inhibitory receptors PD-1, Tim-3 and Lag-3 act as negative feedback regulators of T cell responses. Here the authors improve CAR T cell antitumor efficacy by triple knockdown of these receptors, show it requires CD56, and correlate CD56-mediated homophilic cell interactions with CAR T cell efficacy.
