The current application provides for exogenous immune receptors that do not require any additional selection marker genes and/or any additional silicide genes. The disclosure allows for the production of engineered T cells that can be enriched for in an untouched manner, i.e., the engineered T cells do not require any interaction with any outside agent and can be selected for by eliminating T cells that express the endogenous alpha beta T cell receptor. Engineered T cells with an exogenous immune receptor are provided that can be differentiated from endogenous T cell receptor and now can be eliminated, i.e. depleted, with a selective antibody that specifically targets the exogenous immune receptor.
