Patent number: 11932872Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel switchable dual chimeric antigen receptor-T (sdCAR-T) cell and a construction method and use thereof, which fall within the field of cellular immunotherapy for tumors. The dual chimeric antigen receptor consists of a first chimeric antigen receptor for MSLN and a second chimeric antigen receptor for FITC. A dual-targeted functional T cells regulated by specific exogenous bifunctional molecules is constructed, and the exogenous molecules are used to preliminarily discuss the in vivo and in vitro activity of the dual chimeric antigen receptor-T cell. By means of in vitro and in vivo tests, it is confirmed that the activation mode of the constructed CAR-T cell is controlled by the combination of endogenous tumor antigens and exogenous bifunctional molecules, and this combined regulation mode can significantly improve the safe application of CAR-T cell immunotherapy.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: NANJING ANJI BIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTDInventors: Hanmei Xu, Erhao Zhang

Publication number: 20150140591Abstract: The invention concerns the field of cell culture technology. It concerns RNA having a specific sequence, expression vectors encoding said RNA, production host cell lines comprising said RNA, and methods of producing recombinant biopharmaceutical products using engineered host cell with altered levels of said RNAs, such as small non-coding RNAs, preferably microRNAs (miRNAs). The invention also relates to engineered host cells with altered levels in one or more of said RNAs. Those cell lines have improved secretion and/or growth characteristics in comparison to control cell lines.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2013Publication date: May 21, 2015Inventors: Lore Florin, Hitto Kaufman, Angelika Hausser, Monilola Olayioye, Michaela Strotbek

Patent number: 9035128Abstract: Genetically modified mice are provided that express human ? variable (hV?) sequences, including mice that express hV? sequences from an endogenous mouse ? light chain locus, mice that express hV? sequences from an endogenous mouse ? light chain locus, and mice that express hV? sequences from a transgene or an episome wherein the hV? sequence is linked to a mouse constant sequence. Mice are provided that are a source of somatically mutated human ? variable sequences useful for making antigen-binding proteins. Compositions and methods for making antigen-binding proteins that comprise human ? variable sequences, including human antibodies, are provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Lynn MacDonald, Sean Stevens, Cagan Gurer, Andrew J. Murphy, Karolina A. Hosiawa

Publication number: 20150133641Abstract: The invention relates, in one aspect, generally to novel concept of guided selection of antibody variable domains, combination and expression entirely in vivo. An application is to produce multivalent polypeptides. The present invention relates to multivalent (eg, multispecific) antibodies, antibody chains and polypeptides, as well as heavy chain-only antibodies (H2 antibodies) that are devoid of light chains. The invention further relates to the selection, maturation and production of these in vivo in non-human vertebrates and non-human vertebrate cells. To this end the invention also relates to such non-human vertebrates and cells. The invention also relates to the provision of means to produce and select heavy chain-only antibodies and heavy chains comprising variable domains that have undergone affinity maturation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2014Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: Volker Germaschewski, E-Chiang Lee, Hanif Ali, Jasper Clube
