  • Publication number: 20240124605
    Abstract: Provided herein are D domain containing polypeptides that specifically bind targets of interest, as are nucleic acids encoding the D domain containing polypeptides, vectors containing the nucleic acids and host cells containing the nucleic acids and vectors. Also provided herein are methods of making and using the D domain containing polypeptides, nucleic acids, vectors and host cells, for example, but not limited to, in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Also provided herein are multi-functional chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based compositions and Adapters and their use in methods of directing immune responses to target cells. In some embodiments, the methods include the use of a CAR expressing cell in combination with an Adapter. The Adapter confers the ability to modulate, alter, and/or direct CAR expressing cell-mediated immune response in vitro and in vivo.
