This disclosure relates to a chimeric antigen receptor for binding with a target antigen. The chimeric antigen receptor comprises at least one antigen specific targeting region including a multispecific antibody evolved from a wild-type antibody or a fragment thereof and having at least one of: (a) a decrease in activity in the assay at the normal physiological condition compared to the wild-type antibody or the fragment thereof, and (b) an increase in activity in the assay under the aberrant condition compared to the wild-type antibody or the fragment thereof. A method for using the chimeric antigen receptor and cytotoxic cells for cancer treatment is also provided. A method for producing the chimeric antigen receptor is also provided.
