  • Publication number: 20240091357
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an engineered immune cell which comprises: (i) a target binding polypeptide comprising a target-binding domain and a first protein interaction domain, and (ii) a localising polypeptide comprising a second protein interaction domain, which binds to the first protein binding domain, and an intracellular retention signal. When the target binding polypeptide binds its target protein and also the localising polypeptide, expression of the target protein at the cell surface is reduced or eliminated because the target protein is retained in an intracellular compartment.

  • Publication number: 20230090553
    Abstract: The present invention relates to engineered a cytolytic immune cell comprising: i) a releasable protein which comprises a polypeptide of interest (POI) and a first interaction domain; and ii) a retention protein which is retained within an intracellular compartment of the cell and comprises a second interaction domain which binds to the first protein interaction domain, wherein binding between the first protein interaction domain and second protein interaction domain is disrupted by the presence of an agent, such that in the absence of the agent, the first protein interaction domain and second protein interaction domain bind and result in retention of the POI within an intracellular compartment; whereas in the presence of the agent, the first protein interaction domain and second protein interaction do not bind and the POI is released from the intracellular compartment and expressed at the cell surface or secreted by the cell.

  • Patent number: 11466070
    Abstract: The present invention provides a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) system comprising; (i) a receptor component comprising a antigen binding domain and a first binding domain; and (ii) a signalling component comprising a signalling domain and a second binding domain which binds the single domain binder of the first binding domain of the receptor component wherein either the first or second binding domains comprise a single domain binder, and wherein, binding of the first and second binding domains is disrupted by the presence of an agent, such that in the absence of the agent, the receptor component and the signalling component heterodimerize and binding of the antigen binding domain to antigen results in signalling through the signalling domain; whereas in the presence of the agent, the receptor component and the signalling component do not heterodimerize and binding of the antigen binding domain to antigen does not result in signalling through the signalling domain.
