Pule and colleagues identify the TCR β-chain constant region as a new target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in treatment of T cell cancers while potentially preserving a healthy T cell repertoire. They demonstrate that anti-TCRB1 CAR T cells eliminate cancerous TCRB1+ T cells while sparing nearly one-third of normal TCRB2+ T cells.
