  • Publication number: 20220220170
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions and methods for modulating the immune response of a subject (e.g., a human subject) to certain viral antigens (e.g., antigens derived from AAV capsid proteins). The disclosure is based, in part, on isolated nucleic acids and expression constructs encoding chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that target AAV capsid proteins, and recombinant immune cells comprising such constructs (e.g., recombinant T-cell comprising a CAR (CAR T-cells), and recombinant T-regulatory cells comprising a CAR (CAR T-regs)).
