Abstract: Methods and compositions for delivering a payload at TnMUC1 positive cancer cells. Anti-TnMUC1 CARs and transgene payloads can be engineered into immune cells so that the transgene payload is expressed and delivered at desired times from the immune cell. Such anti-TnMUC1 CAR T-cells with transgene payloads can be combined with the administration of other molecules, e.g., other therapeutics such as anticancer therapies.

Abstract: This application relates generally to the production of modified, non-natural ?1-?2 domains of NKG2D ligands with attached polypeptides having specific target-binding properties, for example, antibodies or variable fragments of antibodies, that are selectively delivered to Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) comprised of modified, non-natural NKG2D receptors on engineered mammalian cells. The targeting of surface-expressed molecules includes those of virus-infected cells that can then be attacked and ablated by engineered cells of the immunity system expressing CARs cognate to the modified, non-natural ?1-?2 domains of NKG2D ligands with attached polypeptides.
