  • Patent number: 11578130
    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.

  • Patent number: 10519446
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to compositions comprising a HBV RNAi agent. In some embodiments, the HBV RNAi agent comprises a sense and an anti-sense strand, each strand being an 18-mer and the strands together forming a blunt-ended duplex, wherein the 3? end of at least one strand terminates in a phosphate or modified internucleoside linker and further comprises, in 5? to 3? order: a spacer; a second phosphate or modified internucleoside linker; and a 3? end cap. In some embodiments, the 3? end of both the sense and anti-sense strand further comprise, in 5? to 3? order: a spacer; a second phosphate or modified internucleoside linker; and a 3? end cap. The two strands can have the same or different spacers, phosphates or modified internucleoside linkers, and/or 3? end caps. The strands can be ribonucleotides, or, optionally, one or more nucleotide can be modified or substituted. Optionally, at least one nucleotide comprises a modified internucleoside linker.
