Publication number: 20240115603Abstract: Described herein are methods and compositions for selective activation of cells using variant cytokine receptor and cytokine pairs, wherein the cytokine receptors comprise an extracellular domain (ECD) of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR). In certain embodiments, the methods and compositions described herein are useful for exclusive activation of cells for adoptive cell transfer therapy. Thus, included herein are methods of producing cells expressing variant receptors that are selectively activated by a cytokine that does not bind its native receptor. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject cells expressing an variant receptor comprising an extracellular domain of G-CSFR and co-administering a variant cytokine that activates the variant receptor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2020Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Gesa Volkers, Megan Fuller, Martin J.

Publication number: 20220365072Abstract: Methods and devices are provided herein for identifying a cell population comprising an effector cell that exerts an extracellular effect. In one embodiment the method comprises retaining in a microreactor a cell population comprising one or more effector cells, wherein the contents of the microreactor further comprise a readout particle population comprising one or more readout particles, incubating the cell population and the readout particle population within the microreactor, assaying the cell population for the presence of the extracellular effect, wherein the readout particle population or subpopulation thereof provides a direct or indirect readout of the extracellular effect, and determining, based on the results of the assaying step, whether one or more effector cells within the cell population exerts the extracellular effect on the readout particle.
