A protocol to evaluate quantitative tumor cell killing by Jurkat cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting single tumor antigen. This protocol can be used as a screening platform for rapid optimization of CAR hinge constructs prior to confirmation in peripheral blood-derived T cells.
