Abstract

Provided are compositions and methods for treating diseases associated with expression of mesothelin. Also provided are a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to mesothelin, vectors encoding the same, and recombinant T cells comprising the mesothelin CAR. Further provided are methods of administering a genetically modified T cell expressing a CAR that comprises a mesothelin binding domain.
