  • Publication number: 20260248852
    Abstract: The present description relates to synthetic antigen receptors for use with covalent immune recruiters (CIRs) comprising an donor moiety, a covalent binding group, and a target binding domain (TBD), the synthetic antigen receptor comprising an extracellular acceptor domain and an effector domain, wherein the extracellular acceptor domain is capable of binding to the donor moiety of the CIR. The present description also includes engineered cells comprising the synthetic antigen receptors, methods and uses thereof, for example, for recognition of target cells by immune cells comprising the synthetic antigen receptor functionalized with a CIR.

  • Publication number: 20240109870
    Abstract: The present application relates to compounds of Formula I comprising an antibody binding domain (ABD) comprising a hapten that binds to an antibody in a subject, the antibody comprising a hapten binding site, an antibody labelling domain (ALD) comprising a functional group that forms a covalent bond with an amino acid in the antibody that is proximal to the hapten binding site and the formation of the covalent bond results in elimination of the ABD and either a target binding domain (TBD) or a detection moiety domain (DMD), each domain being optionally connected with independently selected linkers. The present application also includes methods and uses of the compounds, for example, for immune recognition of target cells by recruited labelled antibodies.
