1. A chimeric antigen receptor comprising:
(i) an ectodomain comprising a single chain antibody variable region derived from a monoclonal antibody that binds to a cancer cell-associated Glypican 2 on a Glypican-2 positive cancer cell, wherein said monoclonal antibody:
(a) is an IgG antibody;
(b) inhibits cancer cell growth; and
(c) induces cancer cell death,
and said ectodomain has a flexible hinge attached at the C-terminus of said single chain antibody variable region;
(ii) a transmembrane domain; and
(iii) an endodomain;
wherein said endodomain comprises a signal transduction function when said single chain antibody variable region is engaged with the cancer cell-associated Glypican 2; and
wherein said single chain antibody variable region comprises:
(a) a heavy chain variable domain including a CDR1comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, a CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, and a CDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, and a light chain variable domain including a CDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, a CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9, and a CDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10; or
(b) a heavy chain variable domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 and a light chain variable domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4.
