  • Publication number: 20240075064
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for expanding T cells or tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in vitro. K562 feeder cells engineered to express a costimulatory molecule (e.g., 41BB ligand (41BBL)) and either interleukin 21 (IL21) or interleukin 7 (IL7) can be used in a rapid expansion protocol (REP) step to expand the T cells or TILs. Thus, provided herein is a culture comprising T-cells or TILs and modified K562 feeder cells. The T cells can be modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a T cell receptor (TCR) or the TILs can be modified to express membrane-bound IL15 (mbIL15). The T cells or TILs can be expanded in vitro using aREP without the use of exogenous interleukin 2 (IL2), and the expanded cells can be used in adoptive cell therapy for treatment of cancer without concomitant use of an exogenous cytokine such as IL2.

  • Publication number: 20230026259
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides regulatable biocircuit systems. Such systems provide modular and tunable protein expression systems in support of the discovery and development of therapeutic modalities. In particular, the present application is directed to fusion proteins comprising a fragment of human human carbonic anhydrase 2 and a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). The activity of the destabilizing domain can be regulated by externally administered agents.
