1. An artificial nucleic acid sequence encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), wherein the artificial nucleic acid sequence comprises an in virto transcribed RNA and a 5′ cap and/or an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) sequence, and wherein the CAR comprises:
(a) an antigen binding domain having affinity for prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA),
(b) a transmembrane domain,
(c) a costimulatory signaling region comprising a CD2 signaling domain, and
(d) a CD3 zeta signaling domain.
