  • Publication number: 20190375815
    Abstract: The present invention features the use of chimeric CD3 proteins to modulate T cell Receptor (TCR) signaling. Specifically, the invention is based, in part, on the discovery that multiple chimeric CD3 proteins (e.g., CD3delta, CD3gamma, and CD3 epsilon) having all or most of their extracellular domain fused to more than one antigen binding domain can activate the TCR in the presence of one or more cognate antigens. The invention is further based on the observation that the above chimeric proteins can be potentiated through the inclusion of a co-stimulatory domain in the intracellular portion of the chimeric molecule. Thus, the preferred elements of the engineered signaling complexes of the invention include more than one antigen binding domain, an extracellular domain derived from one of the above CD3 proteins, and an intracellular co-stimulatory domain.

  • Patent number: 10445372
    Abstract: A method includes accessing, in response to initiating an operation targeting data, auxiliary mapping data to determine whether the auxiliary mapping data includes an indication of a key associated with a node of a hierarchical data structure that is associated with the data. In response to the auxiliary mapping data including the indication of the key, the data is accessed from a memory using a node identification associated with the key. In response to the auxiliary mapping data not including the indication of the key, the data is accessed from the memory using a search operation.
