Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy uses engineered donor T cells to recognize and eliminate cancer cells through cognate antigen-dependent activation. Here authors develop an alternative to bead-based or cancer-cell-induced CAR-T cell activation by presenting the antigen on the surface of engineered yeast cells, which allows precise regulation of antigen density.
