Abstract: Provided in some aspects are epigenetic-modifying DNA-targeting systems, such as CRISPR-Cas/guide RNA systems, that bind to or target a target site in a gene or regulatory element thereof in a T cell. In some aspects, the provided epigenetic modifying DNA-targeting systems provided herein modulate a T cell phenotype or activity. In particular, the provided embodiments relate to the transcriptional repression of genes to promote a stem cell-like memory T (TSCM) cell phenotype. In some aspects, also provided are compositions, polynucleotides, vectors, cells, and pluralities and combinations thereof, and methods and uses related to the provided epigenetic-modifying DNA-targeting systems, for example in modulating the phenotype in T cells including in connection with adoptive T cell therapy.

In some aspects, the provided epigenetic modifying DNA-targeting systems provided herein modulate a T cell phenotype or activity. In particular, the provided embodiments relate to the transcriptional activation of genes that promote a stem cell-like memory T (TSCM) cell phenotype. In some aspects, also provided are compositions, polynucleotides, vectors, cells, and pluralities and combinations thereof, and methods and uses related to the provided epigenetic-modifying DNA-targeting systems, for example in modulating the phenotype in T cells including in connection with adoptive T cell therapy.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compositions and articles of manufacture for use in connection with cell therapy involving the administration of one or more doses of a therapeutic T cell composition. The cells of the T cell composition express recombinant receptors such as chimeric receptors, e.g. chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) or other transgenic receptors such as T cell receptors (TCRs). Features of the provided embodiments, including the numbers of cells or units of cells administered and/or the potency of administered cells, provide various advantages, such as lower risk of toxicity in subjects administered the T cell compositions.
