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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are antibody-coupled T cell receptor (ACTR) polypeptides comprising: a CD16A extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, one or more co-stimulatory signaling domains, at least one of which is a CD28 co-stimulatory signaling domain, and a CD3z cytoplasmic signaling domain. Also disclosed herein are genetically engineered immune cells, expressing: a first polypeptide which is an antibody-coupled T cell receptor (ACTR); and a second polypeptide that elicits a co-stimulatory signal as well as methods of enhancing antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) in a subject comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic antibody and an effective amount of immune cells (e.g., T lymphocytes and/or NK cells) expressing an antibody-coupled T-cell receptor (ACTR) polypeptide.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are chimeric receptors that comprise an extracellular domain and a cytoplasmic signaling domain, wherein the extracellular domain has a reduced binding activity to a wild-type Fc fragment; nucleic acids encoding such chimeric receptors, and immune cells expressing the chimeric receptors. Also disclosed are methods of using the chimeric receptors to enhance the efficacy of antibody-based immunotherapy, such as cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are chimeric receptors comprising an extracellular domain with affinity and specific for the Fc portion of an immunoglobulin molecule (Ig) (e.g., an extracellular ligand-binding domain of F158 FCGR3A or V158 FCGR3A variant); a transmembrane domain (e.g., a transmembrane domain of CD8?); at least one co-stimulatory signaling domain (e.g., a co-stimulatory signaling domain of 4-1BB); and a cytoplasmic signaling domain comprising an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) (e.g., a cytoplasmic signaling domain of CD3?). Also provided herein are nucleic acids encoding such chimeric receptors and immune cells expressing the chimeric receptors. Such immune cells can be used to enhance antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and/or to enhance antibody-based immunotherapy, such as cancer immunotherapy.
