    Abstract: An engineered immune receptor (e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or chimeric costimulatory receptor (CCR)) that contains one or more short linear motifs that bind to other intracellular signaling proteins are provided, as well as nucleic acids encoding the same, cells that contain the same and methods of use. Examples of such motifs include a PLC?1-binding motifs and TRAF binding motifs, but other motifs may be used. These motifs are thought to recruit other proteins to the engineered immune receptor, thereby altering cellular responses.

  • Publication number: 20240115610
    Abstract: An example antigen test device comprises a genetically engineered diagnostic cell comprising an exogenous polynucleotide sequence including a receptor element that encodes a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising an extracellular antigen binding domain operably linked to a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain that recognizes an antigen on a surface of a pathogen-infected cell from a sample or on a surface of a virus particle associated with a pathogen from the sample, an actuator element that encodes a transcription factor binding site, and an effector element that encodes a detectable reporter protein, wherein, in response to the antigen binding domain of the CAR binding to the antigen, the genetically engineered diagnostic cell is configured to activate and to synthesize the detectable reporter protein.

  • Publication number: 20240115611
    Abstract: Provided is a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a T cell receptor (TCR) comprising one or more of the antigen binding motifs disclosed herein. Aspects of the disclosure relate to a polynucleotide encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a T cell receptor (TCR) comprising one or more of the antigen binding motifs. Provided are antibodies and antigen binding systems that comprise a binding motif that binds CD20 and optionally a binding motif that binds CD19, and methods of producing and using the same. Antibodies and antigen binding systems of the present disclosure comprise CARs that comprise an anti-CD20 binding motif and an anti-CD19 binding motif. Provided are compositions, such as antibodies and CARs that are or comprise an anti-CD20/anti-CD19 antigen binding system of the present disclosure, and cell therapies comprising the same, are useful, e.g., in the treatment of cancer.

  • Publication number: 20240115612
    Abstract: Provided are adoptive cell therapy methods involving the administration of doses of cells for treating disease and conditions, including certain B cell malignancies. The cells generally express recombinant receptors such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). In some embodiments, the methods are for treating subjects with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In some embodiments, the methods are for treating subjects with relapsed or refractory NHL. Also provided are articles of manufacture and prophylactic treatments in connection with adoptive therapy methods.

  • Publication number: 20240115613
    Abstract: Kidney tissue-derived stem cells or organoids according to the present invention are easy to apply for treatment, may be supplied in large amounts due to their high self-renewal capacity, have an excellent ability to differentiate into kidney cells, are less likely to form tumors, and have an excellent ability to regenerate damaged tissue when injected directly into lesions. Therefore, they may be used very suitably for regenerative therapy based on adult stem cells among these stem cells. In addition, a composition according to the present invention is capable of specifically selecting only kidney tissue-derived stem cells among kidney cells. Furthermore, kidney tissue-derived stem cells expressing Lrig1 protein or a gene encoding the same have excellent self-renewal and pluripotent abilities and are able to differentiate into nephrons, and thus they may be used very effectively for the prevention or treatment of kidney disease.
