  • Publication number: 20230071283
    Abstract: Provided herein are fusion proteins including two protein domains separated by a heterologous protease cleavage site, wherein a first of the protein domains is a conditional expression domain. Thus, the fusion proteins comprise three essential elements: a conditional expression domain, a domain containing the protein of interest, and a protease cleavage domain separating the two. Also provided herein are methods for treating autoantibody and alloantibody-mediated diseases or conditions in a subject by targeting B cells with anti-B cell modified T cells. In one embodiment, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cell is selectively ablated in a subject after adoptive transfer. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the temporally regulated CAR modified T cell are also described herein.

  • Publication number: 20220054545
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetically engineered hematopoietic cells (e.g., genetically engineered hematopoietic stem cells, or genetically engineered immune cells), which co-express one or more co-stimulatory polypeptides with an anti-GPC3 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), and uses thereof for enhancing T cell anti-tumor activity in a subject in need of the treatment.

  • Publication number: 20210340219
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetically engineered hematopoietic cells, which express one or more lactate-modulating factors (e.g., polypeptides), and optionally a chimeric receptor polypeptide (e.g., an antibody-coupled T cell receptor (ACTR) polypeptide or a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) polypeptide) capable of binding to a target antigen of interest. Also disclosed herein are uses of the engineered hematopoietic cells for inhibiting cells expressing a target antigen in a subject in need thereof.

  • Publication number: 20210332334
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetically engineered hematopoietic cells, which express one or more Krebs cycle modulating polypeptides, and optionally a chimeric receptor polypeptide (e.g., an antibody-coupled T cell receptor (ACTR) polypeptide or a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) polypeptide) capable of binding to a target antigen of interest. Also disclosed herein are uses of the engineered hematopoietic cells for inhibiting cells expressing a target antigen in a subject in need thereof.

  • Publication number: 20210261646
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetically engineered immune cells, which express one or more glucose importation polypeptides and optionally a chimeric receptor polypeptide, for example, an antibody-coupled T cell receptor (ACTR) polypeptide or a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) polypeptide. Also disclosed herein are uses of such genetically engineered immune cells for inhibiting cells expressing a target antigen in a subject in need of the treatment, either taken alone or in combination with an Fc-comprising agent (e.g., an antibody) that binds the target antigen.
