Cellular killing overall, because healthy cells are spared.
Potentially equal or greater tumor-cell killing efficiency, because activation is focused on the intended malignant target.
Often reduced non-tumor inflammatory amplification, which may reduce CRS severity relative to a broadly reactive construct — though severe CRS can still occur if tumor killing is rapid and extensive.
This is one reason AML CAR-T/TCR development has been difficult: many AML antigens (e.g., CD33, CD123) are shared with normal myeloid progenitors, so potent activity can produce both effective leukemia clearance and major inflammatory/toxic hematopoietic effects simultaneously cellular killing overall, because healthy cells are spared.
