Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells represent a breakthrough in the treatment of haematopoietic malignancies, however, in solid tumours this form of immune therapy is hampered by the scarcity of suitable targets showing high level tumour-restricted expression. Here authors generate CAR-T cells that target an osteosarcoma-specific isoform of alkaline phosphatase and show efficacy in orthotopic animal models while sparing healthy tissues.
