  • Patent number: 11932872
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11926669
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an anti-FcRn antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof with improved stability and uses thereof. The anti-FcRn antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof binds to FcRn non-competitively with IgG and the like compared to the parent antibody, HL161AN, thereby having improved stability, such as reducing the production rate of aggregates while maintaining the biological activity of significantly reducing the amount of pathogenic autoantibodies in the blood. Therefore, it may be utilized more efficiently for the treatment of an autoimmune disease.
