  • Patent number: 11872249
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for treating diseases associated with expression of CD20 or CD22. The invention also relates to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to CD20 or CD22, vectors encoding the same, and recombinant T or natural killer (NK) cells comprising the CD20 CAR or CD22 CAR. The invention also includes methods of administering a genetically modified T cell or NK cell expressing a CAR that comprises a CD20 or CD22 binding domain.

  • Publication number: 20230265147
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides chimeric cytokine receptors comprising an intracellular signaling domain of an interleukin-9 receptor alpha (IL9Ra). The present disclosure also provides modified cell(s), i.e., immune cell(s) or precursor cell(s) thereof, wherein the cell(s) are engineered to express a) interleukin-9 receptor alpha (IL9Ra), or a chimeric cytokine receptor disclosed herein; and b) a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). The present disclosure further provides a vector (e.g., an oncolytic adenoviral vector) comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a cytokine, as well as methods of using the modified cells and the vector for treating cancer in a subject in need thereof. Also provided are modified immune cell(s) or precursor cell(s) thereof which are engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), wherein expression of Cullin 5 in the cell(s) is reduced and/or eliminated. Also provided are methods and uses of the modified cells, e.g., for treating at least one sign and/or symptom of cancer.
