Problems solved by technology

With the development of technology, cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modifications have been used for treatment, but the therapeutic effect of the established antigen-binding domain used in CAR is unpredictable, resulting in unstable therapeutic effect
[0004] The use of BCMA antigens as ectodomains for the treatment of B cell-related diseases has been disclosed, but if the antigen-binding domain binds too strongly, then CAR T cells induce a large-scale release of cytokines, resulting in a potentially fatal disease that is regarded as a "cytokine storm". Immune response; however, if the antigen-binding domain binds too weakly, CAR T cells may not be sufficiently therapeutically effective in eradicating cancer cells

Abstract

The invention relates to a chimeric antigen receptor targeting BCMA, which comprises an extracellular domain capable of binding to an antigen, a transmembrane domain and at least one intracellular domain, wherein the extracellular domain is an anti-BCMA single domain antibody; wherein the amino acid sequence of the anti-BCMA single domain antibody is selected from: (a) an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1; or (b) a variant which is formed by substitution, addition or deletion of one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 and which is capable of specifically binding to the chimeric antigen receptor and has a function of binding to BCMA and inducing T cell signaling conduction. The chimeric antigen receptor has smaller clinical side effects and highersafety, can effectively reduce solid tumor focus and effectively improve the treatment effect of tumors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of cellular immunotherapy of tumors, in particular to a chimeric antigen receptor targeting BCMA and its application, specifically the chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell technology based on the specific target BCMA The construction method and its application in anti-tumor therapy. Background technique [0002] With the development of tumor immunology theory and clinical technology, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy (CAR-T) has become one of the most promising tumor immunotherapy. Generally, a chimeric antigen receptor CAR consists of a tumor-associated antigen-binding region, an extracellular hinge region, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular signal transduction region. Usually, CAR contains the single chain fragment variable region (Single chain fragment variable, scFv) of the antibody or the binding domain specific to the tumor associated antigen (tumor associated antigen, TAA), w...
