  • Publication number: 20200239541
    Abstract: This application relates generally to the production of modified, non-natural ?1-?2 domains of NKG2D ligands with attached polypeptides having specific target-binding properties, for example, antibodies or variable fragments of antibodies, that are selectively delivered to Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) comprised of modified, non-natural NKG2D receptors on engineered mammalian cells. The targeting of surface-expressed molecules includes those of virus-infected cells that can then be attacked and ablated by engineered cells of the immunity system expressing CARs cognate to the modified, non-natural ?1-?2 domains of NKG2D ligands with attached polypeptides.

  • Patent number: 10705272
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optical imaging are disclosed. The optical fingerprint sensor includes an image sensor array; a collimator filter layer disposed above the image sensor array, the collimator filter layer having an array of apertures; and an illumination layer disposed above the collimator filter layer. The collimator filter layer filters reflected light such that only certain of the reflected light beams reach optical sensing elements in the image sensor array. Employing the collimator filter layer prevents blurring while allowing for a lower-profile image sensor.
