    Abstract: Control Devices are disclosed including RNA destabilizing elements (RDE), and RNA control devices, combined with transgenes, including Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) in eukaryotic cells. RDEs can be combined with RNA control devices to make RDEs that include ligand mediated control. These smart RDEs and other RDEs can be used to optimize expression of transgenes, e.g., CARs, in the eukaryotic cells so that, for example, effector function is optimized. CARs and transgene payloads can also be engineered into eukaryotic cells so that the transgene payload is expressed and delivered at desired times from the eukaryotic cell.

    Abstract: Contemplated compositions and methods generate a durable immune synapse and so lead to activated T-cells and memory T-cell formation by use of selected co-stimulatory receptors and their ligands in conjunction with selected neoepitopes. Moreover, immune competent cells are attracted into a tumor microenvironment after activation of the T-cells using hybrid or chimeric binding proteins that comprise a chemokine portion and that target components of necrotic cells.

  • Publication number: 20190365812
    Abstract: The invention provides modified Natural Killer (NK) cells expressing an antigen-specific functional T cell receptor (TCR) complex. These NK cells are used for T cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy in order to circumvent any risk of mispairing of the TCR a and ? chains and to provide Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)-restricted antigen-specific cytotoxicity to the NK cells. The invention additionally provides methods for producing the modified NK cells, therapeutic compositions including the modified NK cells, and methods for using the modified NK cells in therapy of cancer, viral infections, autoimmunity, and graft versus host disease (GvHD).

  • Publication number: 20190365815
    Abstract: Disclosed are a natural killer (NK) cell expressing an anti-cotinine chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specifically binding to cotinine, and a cell therapeutic agent containing the NK cell. The CAR-expressing NK cell which specifically binds cotinine, can effectively move to tumor tissue, regardless of the kind of cancer, depending on the binding substance bound to cotinine. Therefore, the natural killer cell can be usefully employed as a gene therapy exhibiting a highly efficient anticancer effect.
