Figure 1. The strategy to eradicate AML cells via chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) immunotherapy. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered cytokine-induced killer (CIK) T cells specifically target acute myeloid leukemia (AML) surface antigen by exploiting the antigen binding properties of CD123-CAR activating CIK cytotoxic effector functions to specifically eliminate malignant cells while sparing the normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor (HSPC) counterpart.
