Embodiment 1

[0121] Example 1: Incorporation of a mutated chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) in the IgG4 Fc spacer region avoids Fc receptor-mediated recognition and clearance of CAR T cells, resulting in improved T cell persistence and antitumor efficacy.

[0122] To determine whether cellular FcR-mediated interactions play a role in the immunological rejection and clearance, or even inadvertent activation, of adoptively transferred CAR-expressing T cells, the CH2 domain of the IgG4 Fc spacer of the CD19-specific CAR has been Mutations at one or two sites (L235E and / or N297Q) – referred to herein as CD19R(L235E), CD19R(N297Q) or CD19R(EQ) – and specific for CD19 with a CH2 deletion in its IgG4 Fc spacer CAR - referred to herein as CD19Rch2Δ. T cells expressing these mutated CARs were then compared to those expressing either the non-mutated CAR (CD19R) or only the truncated EGFR as a tracker marker for FcγR binding and CAR-mediated cytolytic activity in vitro, as well as for engraftment and t...

Abstract

Adoptive immunotherapy using T cells genetically redirected via expression of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is a promising approach for cancer treatment. However, this immunotherapy is dependent in part on the optimal molecular design of the CAR, which involves an extracellular ligand-binding domain connected to an intracellular signaling domain by spacer and/or transmembrane sequences.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 926,881, filed January 13, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, including the drawings. [0003] Statement of Government Interest [0004] This invention was made with Government support under Grant Numbers P50CA107399 and P01CA030206 awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The government has certain rights in this invention. [0005] Background of the invention [0006] Adoptive immunotherapy using T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is a promising cancer treatment because these cells can directly recognize and kill antigen-expressing T cells in a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-independent manner. tumor cells. However, in addition to careful selection of target tumor-associated antigens, this therapeutic approach is highly dependent on optimal molecular design of CARs. [0007] While CARs containing TAA-specific...
