FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [02] The disclosure is directed to molecular biology, and more, specifically, to chimeric antigen receptors, and to transposons containing one or more VCARs, as well as methods of making and using the same. INCORPORATION-BY-REFERENCE OF SEQUENCE LISTING [03] The contents of the file named “POTH-034_OOlWO_SeqListing_ST25_R.txt”, which was created on December 19, 2018, and is 54.4 MB in size are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. BACKGROUND [04] There has been a long-felt but unmet need in the art for a method of directing the specificity of an immune cell without using traditional antibody sequences or fragments thereof. The disclosure provides a superior chimeric antigen receptor. SUMMARY [05] The disclosure provides a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising: (a) an ectodomain comprising an antigen recognition region, wherein the antigen recognition region comprises at least one single domain antibody; (b) a transmembrane domain, and (c) an endodomain comprising at least one costimulatory domain. In some embodiments, the single domain antibody comprises a human or humanized sequence. In some embodiments, the single domain antibody comprises a non-naturally occurring sequence. In some embodiments, the single domain antibody comprises a recombinant or chimeric sequence. In some embodiments, the single domain antibody comprises a VHH or a sequence encoding a VHH. In some embodiments, the single domain antibody comprises a VH or a sequence encoding a VH. In some embodiments, the single domain antibody comprises a VH of the disclosure or a sequence encoding a VH of the disclosure. [06] The disclosure provides a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising: (a) an ectodomain comprising an antigen recognition region, wherein the antigen recognition region comprises at least one VHH; (b) a transmembrane domain, and (c) an endodomain comprising at least one costimulatory domain. As used throughout the disclosure, a CAR comprising a VHH is referred to as a VCAR. In certain embodiments, the antigen recognition region may comprise two VHHs to produce a bi-specific or tandem VCAR. In certain embodiments, the antigen recognition region may comprise three VHHs to produce a tri-specific VCAR. [07] In certain embodiments of the VCARs of the disclosure, the ectodomain may further comprise a signal peptide. Alternatively, or in addition, in certain embodiments, the ectodomain may further comprise a hinge between the antigen recognition region and the transmembrane domain. In certain embodiments, the ectodomain may further comprise a signal peptide. Alternatively, or in addition, in certain embodiments, the ectodomain may further comprise a hinge between the antigen recognition region and the transmembrane domain.
