  • Patent number: 11384134
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to variable lymphocyte receptors (VLRs) modifications such as humanized sequences and polypeptides comprising such sequences that specifically bind a target molecule and uses related thereto. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to recombinant polypeptide VLRs disclosed herein and variants thereof. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to treating or preventing a disease or condition comprising administering an effective amount of a recombinant polypeptide or variant disclosed herein to a subject in need thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 23, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022
    Assignee: Emory University
    Inventors: Brantley R. Herrin, Max Dale Cooper, Rudolf Ehrhardt
  • Patent number: 11136369
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to recombinant cellular expression of chimeric proteins with peptide sequences derived from lymphocyte receptors and uses for treating cancer. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to a recombinant vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes a chimeric protein with a segment with a targeting moiety based on a variable lymphocyte receptor (VLR) capable of binding a tumor associated antigen and a segment with a T cell signal transduction subunit. In certain embodiments, the recombinant vectors are used in immune based cancer treatments.
