  • Patent number: 11952410
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides constructs that comprise (a) a TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) trimer comprising three consecutive extracellular TRAIL domains fused together in a head-to-tail configuration; (b) an epitope binding agent, and (c) optionally one or more additional components, wherein the epitope binding agent competitively inhibits binding of P4-TR3 or HN1-TR3 to cell surface human mesothelin. Constructs of the present disclosure induce apoptosis in cells expressing human mesothelin and a death receptor (DR4 or DR5) on the cell's surface.
