  • TARGETING CYTOTOXIC CELLS WITH CHIMERIC RECEPTORS FOR ADOPTIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY
    Publication number: 20170260268
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for regulating the specificity and activity of immune effector cells for use in immunotherapy. In one embodiment, the invention provides a type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) wherein the CAR is termed a “NKR-CAR” which is a CAR design comprising a component of a receptor naturally found on natural killer (NK) cells. In one embodiment, the NK receptor includes but is not limited to a naturally occurring activating and inhibitory receptor of NK cells known as a killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR).

  • REGULATABLE CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR
    Publication number: 20160311907
    Abstract: Compositions and methods relating to regulatable chimeric antigen receptors (RCARs), where the intracellular signaling or proliferation of the RCAR can be controlled to optimize the use of an RCAR-expressing cell to provide an immune response, are provided. For example, a RCAR can comprise a dimerization switch that, upon the presence of a dimerization molecule, can couple an intracellular signaling domain to an extracellular recognition element, e.g., an antigen binding domain, an inhibitory counter ligand binding domain, or costimulatory ECD domain. An RCAR can be engineered to include an appropriate antigen binding domain that is specific to a desired antigen target and used in the treatment of a disease.

  • HUMAN MESOTHELIN CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20160311917
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for treating diseases associated with expression of mesothelin. Also provided are a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to mesothelin, vectors encoding the same, and recombinant T cells comprising the mesothelin CAR. Further provided are methods of administering a genetically modified T cell expressing a CAR that comprises a mesothelin binding domain.
