1. A method for preparing engineered human T-cells expressing a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) that have lost surface expression of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C comprising:
a) providing a population of human T-cells comprising a CAR;
b) introducing into said human T-cells a rare-cutting endonuclease able to selectively inactivate the gene encoding B2M,
wherein said rare-cutting endonuclease is a TALE-nuclease encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 90% identity with SEQ ID NO:81, SEQ ID NO:82, SEQ ID NO:84, SEQ ID NO:85, SEQ ID NO:87, or SEQ ID NO:88; and
c) cleaving the B2M gene with said rare-cutting endonuclease in said human T-cells to induce loss of surface expression of B2M, HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C.
