Fig. 1

a A benzylguanine motif (BG) is chemically conjugated to an antibody using a benzylguanine NHS ester. The BG-antibody conjugate then covalently binds to the extracellular SNAPtag enzyme through a self-labeling reaction. b SNAPtag receptors enable the targeting of multiple different antigens using the same receptor by combining SNAP receptor cells with different BG-conjugated antibodies. c The SNAP-synNotch receptor is targeted by a BG-conjugated antibody and upon antigen recognition leads to cleavage of the synNotch receptor, releasing the transcription factor and transcriptional regulation of a target gene or genes. d The SNAP-CAR is targeted by a BG-conjugated antibody to activate T cell signaling and effector functions upon antigen recognition.
