Unintentional transduction of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia blasts during CART19 manufacturing can lead to CAR19(+) leukemic cells (CARB19) that are resistant to CART19 killing. We developed an anti-CAR19 idiotype chimeric antigen receptor (alpha CAR19) to specifically recognize CAR19(+) cells. aCAR19 CAR T cells efficiently lysed CARB19 cells in vitro and in a primary leukemia-derived xenograft model. We further showed that alpha CAR19-CART cells could be used as an antidote to deplete CART19 cells to reduce long-term side effects, such as B-cell aplasia.
