AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent provides conditionally active polypeptides that are useful in research and treatment methods. These polypeptides are made up of two chimeric polypeptides that can bind to each other and be activated in the presence of a dimerization agent. The polypeptides can be used to study the function of nuclear hormone receptors and their co-regulators, and can also be used to treat diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. The polypeptides can be designed to have different activities and can be targeted to specific cells or tissues.

Problems solved by technology

However, such CARs are not capable of being pharmacologically controlled.
In some cases, control is required in order to inhibit, halt or otherwise modulate immune cell activation when activation from the designer stimulating receptor is unwanted, becomes undesirable or is no longer necessary.

ed on-Switch Car Constructs

[0866]PPARγ-based ON-switch CAR constructs were generated. FIG. 12 presents a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a generalized nuclear hormone ligand binding domain (LBD) / co-activator peptide ON-switch CAR. FIG. 13 presents a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the constructs. Constructs are listed in Table 3. ON-switch constructs (bCW197, bCW206, bCW207), with FKBP and FRB* domains, were used as positive and negative control CARs.

Controlled Activation of Primary Human T Cells

[0915]Control of cellular functions by induced heterodimerization of the ligand binding domain of human estrogen receptor beta with small peptides derived from transcriptional co-repressors in the presence of the drug 4-hydroxytamoxifen was evaluated. This method does not involve DNA-binding and / or transcriptional activation or any DNA-binding function or transcription activating function of the human estrogen receptor beta from which polypeptide components are derived.

[0916]A human estrogen receptor beta nuclear receptor-peptide system was expressed in primary human T cells and found to capable of modulating ON-switch CAR activity. A CD19 specific ON-switch CAR was constructed to include human estrogen receptor beta ligand binding domain and co-repressor peptide (CoRNR). A schematic representation of the general construct within the T cell membrane, and the associated CD19 antigen expressed on the surface of the target cell, is provided...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides conditionally active, heterodimeric polypeptides. The conditionally active, heterodimeric polypeptides are active in the presence of a dimerizing agent that induces dimerization of the polypeptides of the heterodimer. A conditionally active, heterodimeric polypeptide of the present disclosure is useful in a variety of research and treatment methods, which are also provided.
