1. An isolated NK cell comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR),
wherein the CAR comprises an antigen binding domain specific for FLT3, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular T cell signaling domain,
wherein the antigen binding domain comprises a single chain variable fragment (scFv) comprising from N-terminus to C-terminus (a) the heavy chain variable region CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 6, 8, and 10 and (b) the light chain variable region CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 14, 16, and 18.
