Question
Chapter ST.3, Problem 6RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The term “chimeric antigen receptors” and their method of construction.
Introduction: T-cell receptors (TCRs) function by specifically recognizing the antigens on cancer cells. The DNA sequences that encode these engineered TCRs are then introduced into a patient’s normal naïve T cells in vitro to express the TCRs on their surfaces.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
