Abstract: The present disclosure provides dimeric antigen receptors (DAR) constructs that bind a BCMA target antigen, where the DAR construct comprises a heavy chain binding region on one polypeptide chain and a light chain binding region on a separate polypeptide chain. The two polypeptide chains that make up the dimeric antigen receptors can dimerize to form an antigen binding domain. The dimeric antigen receptors have antibody-like properties as they bind specifically to a target antigen. The dimeric antigen receptors can be used for directed cell therapy.
