1. An immunoresponsive cell comprising:
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds to glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 kDA (GAD65) in the cell;
the CAR comprising:
a) an intracellular signaling domain of a CD3ζ polypeptide and an intracellular signaling domain of CD28 hinge-transmembrane-intracellular region, and
b) an extracellular polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is a GAD65 MAb antigen binding domain;
wherein the extracellular polypeptide comprises SEQ ID NO: 7, or an amino acid sequence having at least 95% identity to SEQ ID NO: 7.
