[0058] DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS CD79b is a pan-B cell lineage marker and an essential component of the B cell receptor complex. CD79b is widely expressed in normal B cells and B cell malignancies, and Expression of CAR T-cell markers is typically observed in CD19-negative tumors that relapse after CD19-specific CAR T-cell therapy. Thus, in certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for detecting CD79b-C CD79b monoclonal antibody and CD79b-specific CA, such as for AR T cells Provide R.

[0059] This study demonstrates the efficacy of CD79b-specific CAR T cells in in vitro and in vivo models. The efficacy of the cell product was demonstrated. Three mouse monoclonal antibodies against human CD79b These antibodies were developed using hybridoma technology and were specific for recombinant human CD79b. with high affinity (Kd range of 1.44-17.8 nM); and It was demonstrated that CD79b stains multiple lymphoma cell lines. The variable region of the light chain was cloned, and the CD3ζ and CD28 / 4-1BB costimulatory domains were cloned. We developed a lentiviral construct for an anti-CD79b CAR carrying the anti-CD79b CAR constructs were transduced using lentivirus into primary CD4+ and CD4+ cells from healthy donors. It was demonstrated that 8+ T cells could be transduced with a transduction efficiency of over 70%.

[0060] Anti-CD79b CAR T cells were used in combination with Daudi Burkitt lymphoma cell lines and Min o Compared to control anti-CD19 CAR T cells against mantle cell lymphoma cell lines The transduced T cells showed significant cytotoxic activity against the IgG4-dependent cytotoxic T cells, whereas non-transduced T cells showed no such activity. More importantly, anti-CD79b did not inhibit CD19-CD19. 79b+ lymphoma cells, whereas anti-CD19 CAR T cells inhibited CD19-CD7 It did not lyse 9b+ lymphoma cells. + Anti-CD79b CAR T cells and CD8 + Co-culture of anti-CD79b CAR T cells with lymphoma cells resulted in CD4 + anti CD79b CAR T cells and CD8 + Both anti-CD79b CAR T cells Significant degranulation was observed. The efficacy of anti-CD79b CAR T cells against M. lucifera was investigated in vivo. 2 × 10 6 Tumor cells / mouse NSG mice were injected IV with 10 × 10 6 T cells / mouse and non-transduced primary T cells, anti-CD19 CAR T cells, or anti-CD79b CAR T cells were administered via the tail vein. Bioluminescence imaging was used to assess tumor burden. The results showed that tumor growth progression was slower in mice treated with untransduced T cells.

[0071] In certain embodiments, the method binds to at least a portion of CD79b and inhibits CD79b activity. an antibody or a fragment thereof that inhibits activity including at least signal transduction As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to any immunological Binding agents (e.g., IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, IgE and genetically modified Ig IgG) and a polypeptide containing an antibody CDR domain that retains antigen-binding activity. Antibodies include chimeric antibodies, affinity matured antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, and clonal, monoclonal, humanized, human antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment or may be selected from the group consisting of natural or synthetic ligands. The CD79b antibody is a monoclonal antibody or a humanized antibody.

[0072] Thus, by known means and as described herein, CD79b antibodies The compound or epitope thereof has been isolated from a natural source or is a synthetic derivative of a natural compound. CD79b, whether monoclonal or variant, one or more of its respective epitopes Polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies specific for the topope or any of the aforementioned conjugates. Monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, and binding domains and CDRs (manipulated from any of the foregoing) (including modified forms) can be produced.

Minibodies containing the nucleus can also be created.

[0074] Antibody-like binding peptidomimetics are also contemplated in embodiments. Liu et al. 2003) reported that it acts as a truncated antibody, has a longer serum half-life, and "Antibody-like binding peptides" are peptides that have the advantage that their synthesis methods are less cumbersome. The term "ABiP" (Antimicrobial Immunosorbent Assay) is described.

[0075] To generate antibodies specific to CD79b, we cloned the CD79b extracellular domain (ECD) tag. Animals can be inoculated with antigens such as proteins. Antigens can be administered in a variety of ways to boost the immune response. As used herein, a conjugate is a molecule that is often attached or conjugated to a molecule of the formula: , any peptide bound to an antigen used to elicit an immune response in an animal; It is a polypeptide, protein or non-protein substance that is produced in animals in response to antigen challenge. The antibodies produced in the antibody-producing cells are derived from various non-identical B lymphocytes. Polyclonal antibodies contain multiple antibodies (polyclonal antibodies) that each bind to different antigens. Polyclonal antibodies in a given animal are a mixed population of antibody species that can recognize different epitopes. When strict conditions for antibody production are given, most of the antibodies in the serum of the animal The specificity of the antigenic compound against which the animal is immunized is known as the collective epitope. Further, affinity purification can be used to select only those antibodies that recognize the target antigen or epitope. It can be further improved.

[0076] Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies of a single species, with all antibody-producing cells coming from a single B lymphocyte. Monoclonal antibodies are derived from a cell line, so each antibody molecule recognizes the same epitope. Methods for generating MAbs generally follow the same principles as for preparing polyclonal antibodies. In some embodiments, in the production of monoclonal antibodies, Rodents such as mice and rats are used. Rabbit, sheep, or frog cells are used to produce rat antibodies. The use of mice (e.g., BALB / c mice) is well known and may offer certain advantages. ) are routinely used and generally result in a high rate of stable fusions.

[0077] Hybridoma technology involves the production of single B lymphoma cells derived from mice pre-immunized with the CD79b antigen. This technique requires the fusion of spheres with immortal myeloma cells (usually mouse myelomas). provides a method for propagating a single antibody-producing cell over an indefinite number of generations, allowing the same antigen to be expressed Unlimited amounts of structurally identical antibodies (monoclonal antibodies) with specificity or epitope specificity Antibodies (antibodies) can be generated.

[0078] Plasma B cells (CD45 + CD5 - CD19 + ) was prepared from immunized rabbits. The CD79b-binding cells can be isolated from rabbit peripheral blood mononuclear cells and further selected for CD79b-binding cells. After enrichment of antibody-producing B cells, total RNA can be isolated and cDNA synthesized. The DNA sequences of antibody variable regions of both the nucleotide and light chains can be amplified and used to generate phage-displayed Fab fragments. It can be constructed into an expression vector and transformed into E. coli. Binding Fabs can be selected through multiple rounds of enrichment panning and sequenced. The identified hits that bind to CD79b were then analyzed in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells (Invitrogen). Using a mammalian expression vector system, rabbit and rabbit / human chimeric genes were expressed in It can be expressed as a full-length IgG of the IgG type and analyzed by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). ) separation unit and can be purified using Protein G resin.

[0079] In one embodiment, the antibody is a chimeric antibody, e.g., a chimeric antibody in which heterologous non-human sequences, human sequences, or humanized sequences (e.g., framework sequences and / or constant domain sequences) Antibodies containing antigen-binding sequences derived from the transplanted non-human donor. The constant domains of the heavy and the low chains were replaced with similar domains of human origin. Methods have been developed to preserve the variable regions of the foreign antibody. "Fully human" monoclonal antibodies are produced in transgenic mice. Antibodies having both rodent, e.g., murine, and human amino acid sequences are possible. The variable domains of monoclonal antibodies can be further enhanced by recombinantly constructing the variable domains. Methods have also been developed to convert the antibody into a human form. Only the variable CDRs are derived from a mouse monoclonal antibody, while the framework and constant regions The regions are derived from human amino acid sequences (U.S. Patent Nos. 5,091,513 and 6, (See US Pat. No. 881,557.) Amino acid sequences within antibodies characteristic of rodents are compared with those of humans. By substituting the amino acid sequence found at the corresponding position in the antibody, It is believed that this reduces the likelihood of a harmful immune response during vaccination. The hybridoma or other cell is capable of expressing the binding specificity of the antibody produced by the hybridoma. It may also be subject to genetic mutations or other alterations that may or may not alter the

Regardless of the type of CD79b, it is highly likely that it will have the ability to neutralize or counteract the effects of CD79b. Certain animal species are allergic to antibodies due to the activation of the complement system via the "Fc" portion of the antibody. are not preferred for generating therapeutic antibodies because they may be more likely to cause a vasoconstriction reaction. However, enzymatic digestion of the whole antibody may not be sufficient to obtain the "Fc" (complement fixation) fragment. ) fragments, and antibody fragments having the binding domain or CDRs. By removing the Fc portion, the antigen-antibody fragment can be prevented from reacting with undesired immunological Fc-less antibodies are less likely to elicit a response and are therefore less suitable for prophylactic or therapeutic treatment. As noted above, preference may be given to antibodies raised in other species or Reduces adverse immunological consequences resulting from administering antibodies with sequences from other species to animals To reduce or eliminate antibodies to be chimeric or partially human or fully human may be constructed.

[0083] Substitution variants typically involve a change of one amino acid to another at one or more sites within a protein. amino acid replacements, with or without loss of other functions or properties of the polypeptide. Substitutions may be conservative and may be designed to modulate one or more properties of the That is, one amino acid is replaced with one that has a similar shape and charge. Conversions are well known in the art and include, for example, alanine to serine; lysine to lysine; asparagine to glutamine or histidine; aspartic acid to to glutamic acid; cysteine ​​to serine; glutamine to asparagine; glutamine acid to aspartic acid; glycine to proline; histidine to asparagine or to glutamine; isoleucine to leucine or valine; leucine to valine or to isoleucine; lysine to arginine; methionine to leucine or isoleucine phenylalanine to tyrosine, leucine, or methionine; serine to threonine threonine to serine; tryptophan to tyrosine; tyrosine to tryptophan and valine to isoleucine or leucine. Alternatively, the substitution may be carried out such that the function or activity of the polypeptide is affected. Non-conservative changes usually involve replacing a residue with a similar one, but with a different structure. Substitution of a non-polar amino acid, e.g., a polar or charged amino acid with a non-polar amino acid or uncharged amino acids, and vice versa.

It will not be done. 2. T cell receptor (TCR)

[0117] In some embodiments, the genetically engineered antigen receptor includes a recombinant TCR. and / or TCRs cloned from naturally occurring T cells. "TCR" refers to a transmembrane receptor (TCR) that is composed of a variable alpha chain and a variable beta chain (TCRα and TCRβ, respectively). and TCRβ) or variable γ and variable δ chains (TCRγ and TCRβ, respectively) and TCRδ), which bind specifically to antigenic peptides bound to MHC receptors. In some embodiments, the TCR refers to a molecule that can specifically bind to It is an αβ type.

[0118] TCRs, which usually exist as αβ and γδ types, generally have similar structures, but T cells expressing TCRs may differ in anatomical location or function. Generally, TCRs are expressed on the surface of T cells (or T lymphocytes). found on the surface of the body, usually by binding to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules In some embodiments, a TCR comprises a constant domain, a transmembrane domain, and a It may also contain a cytoplasmic domain, a short cytoplasmic tail, and / or a short cytoplasmic tail (e.g., Janeway e (See, e.g., et al., 1997). For example, in some embodiments, each chain of the TCR is , one N-terminal immunoglobulin variable domain, one immunoglobulin constant domain, transmembrane In some embodiments, the T CR associates with the invariant protein of the CD3 complex, which is involved in mediating signal transduction. Unless otherwise stated, the term "TCR" includes functional TCR fragments thereof. This term should be understood to include TCRs of the αβ or γδ types. It also encompasses intact or full-length TCRs.

[0119] Therefore, for purposes herein, reference to a TCR includes any TCR or functional TCR. Fragments (e.g., specific antigenic peptides bound in MHC molecules, i.e., The antigen-binding portion of the TCR that binds to the MHC-peptide complex is included. The "antigen-binding portion" or antigen-binding fragment of a TCR may be expressed as a structural domain of the TCR. antigens that contain only a portion of the main domain but that the complete TCR binds (e.g., MHC-peptide In some cases, the antigen-binding moiety refers to a molecule that binds to a specific The potential for sufficient TCR binding to form a binding site for binding to the appropriate MHC-peptide complex. variable domains (e.g., the variable a and variable β chains of a TCR), e.g., typically each chain It contains three complementarity determining regions.

[0120] In some embodiments, the variable domains of the TCR chains associate to form loops, or immunoglobulins. It forms a complementarity determining region (CDR) similar to that of immunoglobulin, which allows antigen recognition. The peptide specificity is determined by forming the binding site of the TCR molecule. Typically, as with immunoglobulins, CDRs are separated by framework regions. The retinal septum is separated by a retinal septum (FR) (e.g., Jores et al., 1990; Cho See thia et al., 1988; Lefranc et al., 2003 In some embodiments, CDR3 is involved in recognition of processed antigens. The CDR1 of the alpha chain interacts with the N-terminal part of the antigen peptide. It has also been shown that CDR1 of the beta chain binds to the C-terminal portion of the peptide. CDR2 is thought to recognize the MHC molecule. In some embodiments, the variable region of the β chain may include an additional hypervariable (HV4) region.

[0121] In some embodiments, the TCR chain comprises a constant domain. Like the phospholipase A, the extracellular portions of the TCR chains (e.g., a chain, β chain) bind to two immunoglobulins. a variable domain at the N-terminus (e.g., V a or Vp; usually Ka bat numbering, Kabat et al., “Sequences of P roteins of Immunological Interest, US Dep. t.Health and Human Services,Public Healt h Service National Institutes of Health, May 1991 th ed.-based amino acids 1–116), and one adjacent to the cell membrane the constant domain of (e.g., the a chain constant domain or C a , usually based on Kabat amino acids 117-259, β-chain constant domain or Cp, usually amino acids according to Kabat 117-295). For example, in some cases, the two chains The extracellular portion of the TCR, which is expressed as a TCR, consists of two membrane-proximal constant domains and two CDR-containing domains. The membrane-distal variable domain is a TCR domain with cysteine ​​residues that form disulfide bonds. It contains a short connecting sequence that forms a nucleotide bond, thereby creating a link between the two strands. In some embodiments, the TCR contains an additional sequence in each of the α and β chains. TCRs contain two disulfide bonds in the constant domain, which may contain stearate residues. .

[0122] In some embodiments, the TCR chain may include a transmembrane domain. In embodiments, the transmembrane domain is positively charged. The R chain contains the cytoplasmic tail. In some cases, due to its structure, the TCR It can associate with other molecules such as CD3. For example, it contains a constant domain along with a transmembrane region. The TCR, which contains the cytochrome P454, can anchor its proteins to the cell membrane and interact with the CD3 signaling machinery or can associate with the invariant subunit of the complex.

[0123] Generally, CD3 is composed of three different chains (γ, δ, and ε) and the ζ chain in mammals. For example, in mammals, this complex may comprise CD3γ It may comprise a homodimer of a CD3 chain, a CD3δ chain, two CD3ε chains, and a CD3ζ chain. The γ, CD3δ, and CD3ε chains are immunoglobulins containing a single immunoglobulin domain. The CD3γ chain, CD4γ, and CD5γ are highly related cell surface proteins of the phospholipase C superfamily. The transmembrane regions of the CD3δ and CD3ε chains are negatively charged, which is why these chains are This is a property that allows it to associate with the highly charged T cell receptor chains. The intracellular tails of the δ chain and CD3ε chain each contain an immunoreceptor activation tyrosine motif or Each CD3 ζ chain contains a single conserved motif known as an ITAM, whereas In general, ITAMs are involved in the signaling activity of the TCR complex. The accessory molecule has a negatively charged transmembrane region and is involved in the propagation of signals from the TCR to the cell. The CD3 chain and ζ chain work together with the TCR to form the T cell receptor They form complexes known as complexes.

[0124] In some embodiments, the TCR comprises two chains, α and β (or optionally γ and δ) or may be a single chain TCR construct. In some embodiments, the TCR comprises two separate TCRs linked by, for example, a disulfide bond. In some embodiments, the α-chain and β-chain or γ-chain and δ-chain heterodimer are used. In this method, a TCR against a target antigen (e.g., a cancer antigen) is identified and introduced into a cell. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding the TCR is a publicly available TCR DNA. A sequences can be obtained from a variety of sources, such as by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. In some embodiments, the TCR is derived from a biological source, e.g., a cell, e.g., , T cells (e.g., cytotoxic T cells), T cell hybridomas or other publicly available In some embodiments, the T cells are isolated in vivo. In some embodiments, the high affinity T cell clones can be obtained from: In some embodiments, T cells can be isolated from a patient and TCRs can be isolated. The T cell hybridoma or clone may be cultured. Therefore, TCR clones against target antigens are synthesized by integrating human immune system genes (e.g., human leukocyte antigen receptors). or HLA) engineered transgenic mice. In embodiments, phage display is used to isolate TCRs against target antigens. In some embodiments, the TCR or antigen-binding portion thereof is identified using a method that uses a TCR sequence. Thus, it can be made synthetically. C. Delivery method

Not limited to these. 1. Viral Vectors

[0126] Viral vectors encoding antigen receptors are provided in certain embodiments of the present disclosure. When constructing a recombinant viral vector, non-essential genes are usually not heterologous. The gene or coding sequence for a (or non-native) protein is replaced by a viral vector. The marker utilizes viral sequences to introduce nucleic acids and sometimes proteins into cells. It is a type of expression construct that expresses the ability of a particular virus to infect cells or its receptor. their ability to enter cells via endocytosis and to infect the host cell genome Their ability to integrate and stably and efficiently express viral genes has made them These viruses are attractive candidates for transferring foreign nucleic acids into cells (e.g., mammalian cells). Viral vectors that can be used to deliver nucleic acids of certain embodiments of the present disclosure Non-limiting examples are listed below:

[0127] Lentiviruses are complex retroviruses and are a common retroviral gene. In addition to gag, pol, and env, other genes with regulatory or structural functions are also Lentiviral vectors are well known in the art (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6,011,229). (See US Pat. Nos. 3,516 and 5,994,136).

No. 5,994,136, which is hereby incorporated by reference. 2. Regulatory elements

[0129] Expression cassettes included in vectors useful in the present disclosure include, inter alia, protein-encoding a eukaryotic transcription promoter operably linked to a sequence, a splice signal including an intervening sequence, Null, and transcription termination / polyadenylation sequences (5' to 3'). Promoters and enhancers that control transcription of genes encoding proteins in eukaryotic cells. A gene is made up of multiple genetic elements. The cellular machinery carried by each element It can collect and integrate regulatory information from different genes, often This allows for the development of complex patterns of different transcriptional regulation. The promoters used in this context include constitutive promoters and inducible promoters. and tissue-specific promoters. a. Promoter / enhancer

[0130] The expression constructs provided herein include a promoter that drives expression of an antigen receptor. A promoter generally defines a sequence that locates the start site for RNA synthesis. The best known example of this is the TATA box, but mammalian Mammalian terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase gene promoter and Some promoters, such as those of the SV40 late genes, contain a TATA box. The discontinuous elements, lacking a sequence and overlapping the initiation site itself, fix the location of initiation. Additional promoter elements control the frequency of transcription initiation. These are located in the region 30110 bp upstream of the start site, but several promoters It has also been shown that the coding sequence contains functional elements downstream of the initiation site. To be "under the control" of a transcriptional open reading frame, the 5' end of the transcription start site must be aligned with the selected promoter. The promoter is placed "downstream" (i.e., 3') of the motor. The "upstream" promoter controls the transcription of DNA. It stimulates transcription and promotes expression of the encoded RNA.

[0131] The spacing between promoter elements is often variable, and elements can be inverted or The function of the promoters is preserved even when they are separated or moved relative to each other. In the case of promoters, the spacing between promoter elements can be up to 50° before activity begins to decline. Depending on the promoter, individual elements may function cooperatively or independently. A promoter may function to activate transcription of a nucleic acid sequence. It may be used in conjunction with the term "enhancer," which refers to a cis-acting regulatory sequence involved in the regulation of and may not be used.

[0132] A promoter is a 5' non-coding sequence located upstream of a coding segment and / or exon. A nucleic acid sequence that is naturally associated with a nucleic acid sequence, such as may be obtained by isolating a code sequence. Such a promoter is called an "endogenous" promoter. Similarly, an enhancer can be located downstream or upstream of a nucleic acid sequence. It may be an enhancer naturally associated with the sequence. A recombinant promoter is a promoter that is not naturally associated with a particular environment. By placing the coding nucleic acid segment under the control of a heterologous promoter, certain advantages are possible. Also, a recombinant or heterologous enhancer may be a nuclear enhancer in its natural environment. It also refers to enhancers that are not naturally associated with a promoter or sequence. The promoters or enhancers may include promoters or enhancers of other genes, as well as promoters or enhancers of other genes. A promoter or enhancer isolated from any virus or prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. sensors, as well as non-"naturally occurring" i.e., various elements of various transcription control regions. promoters or enhancers containing mutations that alter expression and / or For example, the promoters most commonly used in recombinant DNA construction are β-lactamase (penicillinase), lactose and tryptophan (trp-) Promoter systems include: Synthesizing promoter and enhancer nucleic acid sequences In addition to being produced by recombinant cloning and / or PCR TM Starting with Using nucleic acid amplification techniques such as those described herein, a sequence may be generated in connection with the compositions disclosed herein. Furthermore, in organelles other than the nucleus (e.g., mitochondria, chloroplasts, etc.), It is contemplated that regulatory sequences that direct the transcription and / or expression of the sequences may be used as well. .

[0133] Naturally, the D in the organelle, cell type, tissue, organ or organism selected for expression Use a promoter and / or enhancer that effectively directs expression of the NA segment. Those skilled in the art of molecular biology generally use promoters for protein expression. We are aware of the use of promoter, enhancer, and cell type combinations (e.g., See, for example, Sambrook et al. 1989, incorporated herein by reference. The promoters used are constitutive promoters, tissue-specific promoters, and , an inducible promoter, and / or a promoter that directs high-level expression of the introduced DNA segment. A useful promoter (e.g., a promoter for the expression of recombinant proteins and / or or a promoter useful in the large-scale production of recombinant peptides). The motor may be heterologous or endogenous.

[0134] Additionally, any promoter / enhancer combination (e.g., epd.isb- Eukaryotic Promote via the World Wide Web at sib.ch / Genes encoding nucleotide sequences (according to the EPDB Data Base) can also be used to drive expression. The use of T3, T7 or SP6 cytoplasmic expression systems is another viable embodiment. Bacterial polymerases may be provided as part of a delivery complex or as additional genetic expression constructs. When provided with a nucleotide sequence, eukaryotic cells support cytoplasmic transcription from certain bacterial promoters. obtain.

[0135] Non-limiting examples of promoters include early viral promoters or late viral promoters. Promoters (e.g., SV40 early or late promoters, cytomegalovirus ( CMV immediate early promoter, Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) early promoter); eukaryotic Cellular promoters (e.g., beta-actin promoter, GADPH promoter, the tarothionine promoter); and cascade response element promoters (e.g., Cyclic AMP response element promoter (cre), serum response element promoter sre, phorbol ester promoter (TPA) and minimal TATA promoter Human growth hormone (HGH) is a transcription factor that regulates the transcription of thyroid hormone receptors (THRs). Promoter sequences (e.g., human growth hormone minimal promoter sequences listed in Genbank) promoter, accession number X05244, nucleotides 283 to 341) or Mouse mammary tumor promoter (available from ATCC, Cat. No. ATCC 4500 7) can also be used. In certain embodiments, the promoter is CM V IE, dectin-1, dectin-2, human CD11c, F4 / 80, SM22, RS V, SV40, Ad MLP, beta-actin, MHC class I or MHC class I I promoter, however, useful for driving expression of therapeutic genes. Any other promoters may also be applied to the practice of the present disclosure.

[0136] In certain embodiments, the methods of the present disclosure involve the use of enhancer sequences, i.e., promoter sequences. A nucleic acid sequence that increases the activity of a gene, and that is located in cis and in any orientation, over a relatively long distance. It has the ability to act over long distances (up to several kilobases away from the target promoter). However, enhancers may also be located close to a given promoter. Enhancer function is not necessarily limited to such long distances, as it can function at long distances. stomach. b. Initiation signal and linked expression

[0137] For efficient translation of the coding sequence, in the expression constructs provided in this disclosure, specific Other initiation signals may also be used. These signals may be derived from the ATG initiation codon or adjacent sequences. Exogenous translational control signals, including the ATG initiation codon, must be provided. Those skilled in the art will be able to determine this and provide the necessary signals. To ensure translation of the entire insert, the initiation codon must be It is well known that the reading frame of the coding sequence must be "in frame" with the reading frame of the coding sequence. The native translational control signals and initiation codons can be natural or synthetic. The efficiency of expression may be enhanced by the inclusion of appropriate transcription enhancer elements.

[0138] In certain embodiments, the use of an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element The use of ribosomal RNA is to generate multigene, i.e., polycistronic, messages. IRES elements are used to regulate the ribosome activity of 5' methylated cap-dependent translation. It is possible to bypass the scanning model and initiate translation at an internal site. IRES elements from two members of the poliovirus family (polio and encephalomyocarditis), IRES elements derived from mammalian messages have also been reported. can be linked to heterologous open reading frames, each separated by an IRES. Multiple open reading frames can be transcribed together, forming polycistronic sequences. Thanks to the IRES element, each open reading frame can generate a unique message. The frame becomes accessible to ribosomes for efficient translation. Efficient expression of multiple genes using promoters / enhancers to transcribe a single message You can also do this.

[0139] Additionally, to provide for linked or co-expression of genes within the constructs provided in this disclosure, For this purpose, certain 2A sequence elements can be used. For example, To co-express genes by linking genes to form a single cistron Exemplary cleavage sequences include F2A (foot-and-mouth disease virus 2A) or "2A-like" sequences (e.g., Thosea asigna virus 2A; T2A). 3. Replication starting point In order to propagate a vector in a host cell, the vector contains one or more origins of replication. A site (often called an "ori"), e.g., a specific nucleic acid sequence at which replication begins EBV oriP or its function in programming as described above. It may contain a nucleic acid sequence corresponding to a genetically engineered oriP that has been enhanced or Alternatively, the origin of replication of other viruses that replicate extrachromosomally, as described above, or An autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) can be used. 4. Selectable and Screenable Markers

[0140] In some embodiments, cells comprising a construct of the present disclosure may express a marker in an expression vector. Such a molecule can be identified in vitro or in vivo by including it in a matrix. The marker induces identifiable changes in cells that allow for easy identification of cells containing the expression vector. Generally, a selectable marker is one that confers a property that allows for selection. A positive selection marker is a gene whose presence allows for selection. A negative selectable marker is a marker whose presence prevents selection. An example of a positive selection marker is a drug resistance marker.

[0141] Drug selection markers are usually included to facilitate cloning and identification of transformants. Helped by, for example, neomycin, puromycin, hygromycin, DHFR, G Genes that confer resistance to PT, zeocin, and histidinol are useful selectable markers. Markers that confer a phenotype that allows for the identification of transformants based on the performance of the conditions. In addition, colorimetric analysis is based on screenable markers such as GFP. Other types of markers are contemplated, such as herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase. enzyme (tk) or chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), etc. A screenable enzyme can be used as a negative selection marker. If so, we would also know how to use immunological markers, possibly in conjunction with FACS analysis. The markers used will be those that are expressed simultaneously with the nucleic acid encoding the gene product. Selection markers and screening Further examples of possible markers are well known to those skilled in the art. 5. Other nucleic acid delivery methods

[0165] Other agents that have been widely used to cause DNA damage include gamma rays, X-rays and / or or what is commonly known as directed delivery of radioisotopes to tumor cells. Other forms of DNA damaging agents such as microwaves, proton beam irradiation and UV irradiation are also being considered. All of these factors are involved in the synthesis of DNA, the precursors of DNA, and the replication and repair of DNA. and most likely to cause widespread damage to chromosome assembly and maintenance. X-ray doses range from 50 to 200 roentgens over a prolonged period (3 to 4 weeks) These range from a daily dose of 1000 to a single dose of 2000-6000 roentgens. The range of doses for radioisotopes varies widely and depends on the half-life of the isotope, the strength of the radiation emitted, and The effect depends on the type and size of the tumor and on the uptake by the tumor cells. 3. Immunotherapy

[0166] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that immunotherapy may be used in conjunction or in conjunction with the methods of the above embodiments. Understand: In the context of cancer treatment, immunotherapeutics typically target and destroy cancer cells. It relies on the use of immune effector cells and molecules to achieve this. Cimab (RITUXAN®) is such an example. For example, it can be an antibody specific to some marker on the surface of a tumor cell. They can function alone as effectors of therapy or recruit other cells to The antibody may also affect cell killing by inducing drugs or toxins (chemotherapeutic agents, radionuclides, etc.). can be conjugated to a variety of antigen-specific antigens (e.g., ricin A chain, cholera toxin, pertussis toxin, etc.) to serve as targeting agents. Alternatively, the effector may interact directly or indirectly with a tumor cell target. Various effector cells include cytotoxic T cells and lymphocytes with surface molecules that bind to the immune system. These include inflammatory cells and NK cells.

[0167] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are compounds covalently linked to cytotoxic drugs for use in combination therapy. This approach involves the use of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against antigenic targets. The high specificity of MAbs combined with highly potent cytotoxic drugs allows for the production of a wide range of It also develops "armed" MAbs that deliver payloads (drugs) to tumor cells bearing the antigen at the same level. Targeted drug delivery also minimizes exposure to normal tissues, reducing toxicity. Exemplary ADC drugs include ADCETRI S® (brentuximab vedotin) and KADCYLA® (trastuzumab) Examples include stuzumab emtansine or T-DM1.

[0168] In one embodiment of immunotherapy, tumor cells are infected with any marker amenable to targeting. The cells must have some marker that is not present on most other cells. There are many tumor markers, and any of these may be used as a target in the context of this embodiment.

Example 1 - CD79b Antibody and CAR Development

[0182] CD79b expression is restricted to the B cell lineage : Using real-time PCR, CD7 9b, Mino, Daudi, HBC-1, Jeko, SUDHL6, SUDHL4 and It is expressed in a wide range of B-cell lymphoma cell lines, including U2932 and U2932, but not in Jurkat. It was found not to be expressed in the t and J76 T-cell lymphoma / leukemia cell lines (Fig. 1 A) To determine whether CD79b is expressed on normal tissues, 20 normal human FirstChoice Human Total RNA Surfactants containing tissue total RNA The Vey Panel was obtained from Applied Biosystems. Total RNA was extracted from purified B and T cells from the sample and analyzed using PCR. CD79b transcript was used as an inactive and negative control. It is present only in lymphoid tissues such as the spleen and lymph nodes and is not present in all normal non-lymphoid tissues. It was found to be absent in tissues (Fig. 1B).

[0183] Using publicly available gene expression datasets (Oncomine), CD79b However, ALL and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (Figure 1C) and multiple B-cell lymphoma subtypes (e.g., Burkitt's lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and It was found to be highly expressed in tumors (e.g., thyroid cancer, thyroid cancer, and mantle cell lymphoma) (Fig. 1D). Sample numbers for tumor type are shown in parentheses.

[0184] Generation of multiple monoclonal antibodies against human CD79b and characterization of the heavy chain sequences and Identification of the DNA and light chain sequences : Mice were immunized with mouse fibroblast L cells expressing human CD79b. By using this method, anti-human CD79b monoclonal antibodies were produced using hybridoma technology. The binding to recombinant human CD79b protein was determined by ELISA (Figure 2A). Three clones with high potency were identified (Figure 2B). The compatibility was further measured by Octet Assay and was 1.44, 17.8 and 2. Three clones, 14 (IgG1), 16A (Ig), and 17A (IgG), each had a Kd value of 0 nM. G2) and 45 (IgG2) were selected for further development (Figure 2C). The monoclonal antibody clone #14 was conjugated to a fluorescent dye and was used in BD Biosciences. It showed comparable staining of B-cell lymphoma cell lines to the commercially available anti-CD79b antibody from ES. (Fig. 2D). Total RNA was extracted from the hybridomas of the above monoclonal antibodies, and cDNA was generated. The heavy chain and The light chain V gene was cloned. The protein sequence was predicted from the DNA sequence. Hybridoma culture supernatant was purified and analyzed by MD Anderson Proteomics C The protein sequences of the heavy and light chains were confirmed by mass spectrometry at the Imagine Facility. Ta.

[0185] Generation of anti-CD79b CAR T cells : Single chain fragment of variable region (scFv) Several constructs of anti-CD79b CARs were generated using specific sequences. To detect CAR expression in the T cells, CAR-enhanced green fluorescent protein ( eGFP) fusion constructs or a truncated form of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (huEGFRt) The latter was used to remove CAR T cells in the event of severe toxicity. It can also act as a safety switch for T cell activation by providing a signal for T cell activation. The CD3-zeta (CD3z) chain is incorporated into the co-stimulatory domain to provide signal 2. The antibodies were engineered to incorporate the agonists CD28 or 4-1BB (Figure 3A).

[0186] These constructs were cloned into the lentiviral vector pHR_SFFV and then It was used to transduce primary healthy donor T cells. Clone 45-CD79b-CD CD4 + and CD8 + Measured by eGFP expression in T cells Representative transduction efficiencies (>70%) are shown in Figure 3B. T cells were used as a control.

[0187] CAR T against Daudi cells labeled with CellTrace Far Red The cytotoxic activity of the cells was assessed by flow cytometry for 16 hours at the indicated effector:target (E:T) ratios. The ratio of 20:1 was measured by Aqua staining in a cytometry assay (Fig. 3C). Representative dot plots (top right) with the percentage of dead cells for various culture conditions at different E:T ratios. The data are presented in Figure 3D. Both 9b-CAR T cells demonstrated a significant improvement in Da compared with untransduced control T cells. These results demonstrate that IFN-γ was highly cytotoxic to HIV-1 induced Burkitt's lymphoma cells.

[0188] Anti-CD79b CAR T cells target CD19 + Lymphoma cells and CD19 - Lymphoma cells It is cytotoxic to both :CD19 negative (CD19 - ) Anti-lymphoma cells To measure the efficacy of CD79b CAR T cells, degranulation and cytotoxicity assays were performed. We used SUDHL6, a CD19-deficient diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell line, to investigate the effect of CD19 on the proliferation of B-cell lymphoma. First, CD19 was knocked out using CRISPR-Cas9 (CD19 These lymphoma cells were then transfected with an anti-CD19 CAR construct. The exon 2, which is the binding site for the anti-CD19 antibody clone FMC63 used in The cells were transduced with a CD19 splice variant (CD19Dex2) lacking the CD19 gene.

[0189] Non-transduced primary T cells (control T), clone-14-CD79b- CD28 CAR, 14-CD79b-4-1BB CAR and FMC63-CD19 -CD28 CAR was transfected with Daudi cells or the above-mentioned SUDHL6 cells (CD19KOS T cells were co-cultured with UDHL6-CD19Dex2) at an E:T ratio of 5:1. The target cells were labeled with CellTrace Far Red and labeled with CellTrace Violet. After 2 hours, Golgi inhibitors and degranulation markers (CD107a / b) were added to the cultures. In addition, T cell degranulation was measured. Cytotoxic activity against tumor cells was measured after 4 days of co-culture. 14-CD79b-CD28 and 14-CD79b-4-1BB CARs were measured. T cells showed significantly higher degranulation and cytotoxic activity against both cell lines, but In contrast, FMC63-CD1 T cells did not show any significant changes (Figures 4A and 4B). 9-CD28 CAR, CD19 + It was cytotoxic to Daudi but CD1 It was not cytotoxic to 9KOSUDHL6-CD19Dex2 tumor cells.

[0190] After 4 days of co-culture, CountBright Absorbent for flow cytometry was used. Absolute viable tumor cell counts were also determined using lute counting beads. (Figure 4C). The results were consistent with the observed percentage of viable tumor cells. (Figure 4B). Representative dot plots of target and effector T cells are shown. (Figures 4A and 4B). These experiments were repeated at least three times with similar results. It was.

[0191] Anti-CD79b CAR T cells demonstrate in vivo efficacy against lymphoma xenografts To test the efficacy of anti-CD79b CAR T cells in vivo, The Mino mantle cell lymphoma cell line expressing the luciferase gene was transfected into NSG mice. to 2×10 6 The mice were then IV injected with 10 ... No primary T cells, anti-CD19-CD28 CAR T cells or clone 45 anti-CD79 b-CD28 CAR T cells, 10 × 10 6 Cars + T cells or transduced T cells / mouse were treated by tail vein injection. Bioluminescence imaging was used to The tumor burden was assessed (Figure 5A). The results showed that the tumor burden was significantly higher in mice treated with untransduced T cells than in mice treated with untransduced T cells. In contrast, the mice showed progressive tumor growth. Significant improvements (p<0.05) were observed with both anti-CD19 and anti-CD79b CAR T cells. This was observed in treated mice (Figures 5B and 5C). Each individual experiment was verified at least three times, and the in vivo results were verified twice. Anti-CD79b CAR therapy targets B-cell malignancies that express or do not express CD19. It can be used for the treatment of cancer tumors. Example 2 - Development of further CD79b antibodies and CARs

[0192] Generation of anti-CD79b CAR T cells using a new anti-CD79b antibody clone: ​​Further Single-chain fragments of the variable regions from the antibody clones T26, 5B, and 28B ( Several constructs of anti-CD79b CARs were generated using specific sequences of the CD79b antibody (scFv). To detect CAR expression in transduced T cells, a CAR-enhanced green fluorescent tag was used. Protein (eGFP) fusion construct or truncated human epidermal growth factor receptor (huEGF Rt) was used (Figure 6A). The latter allows for removal of CAR T cells in the event of severe toxicity. It can also act as a safety switch to block signal 1 for T cell activation. Incorporating CD3-zeta (CD3z) chain to provide signal 2 The costimulatory domains CD28, 4-1BB, or OX-40 were incorporated (Figure 6A ).

[0193] Anti-CD79b CAR T cells inhibited Daudi lymphoma cells in vitro. The above CAR constructs (T26 and 28B) were expressed as lentiviral vectors. The vector was cloned into pLVEG and then used to transduce primary healthy donor T cells. Anti-CD79b-CAR T cells were generated by transfecting anti-CD19-CAR T cells. Daudi cells (CellTrace Violet) were used as a control. CAR T cells (labeled with CellTrace Far Red) against The cytotoxic activity of the indicated effector:target (E:T) ratios was measured at 1 and 4 days. After co-culture for 1 h, the number of cells was measured by flow cytometry assay (Figure 6B). Dot plots are shown in Figure 6C. Data are for anti-CD19-CAR T cells and anti-CD79b Both CAR T cells were highly cytotoxic against Daudi-Burkitt lymphoma cells This indicates that it was sexual.

[0194] Anti-CD79b CAR T cells show in vivo efficacy against Daudi lymphoma xenografts Showing efficacy: Efficacy of anti-CD79b CAR T cells (clone T26) in vivo Daudi Burkitt expressing the firefly luciferase gene to test for sex Lymphoma cell lines were inoculated into NSG mice at 2 × 10 4 Tumor cells / mouse were injected IV. 10 days later , mice were either untreated, or treated with anti-CD19-CAR T cells, or clone T2 3 x 10 with 6 anti-CD79b-CAR T cells 6 Tail vein injection of CAR+T cells / mouse Tumor burden was assessed using bioluminescence imaging (Figure 6D). The results showed progressive tumor growth in untreated mice. In contrast, good tumor control and a significant improvement in survival time (p=0.01) was observed in patients treated with anti-CD19 CAR T cells. This was observed in both mice treated with anti-CD79b CAR T cells and mice treated with anti-CD79b CAR T cells. These results demonstrate that anti-CD79b CAR T cells potently stimulated the immune response in vivo (Figure 6E). It has been demonstrated to have antitumor activity. Example 3 - Further development and investigation of CD79b antibodies and CARs

[0195] Binding of anti-CD79b antibodies to human CD79b: intact CD79b isolated from hybridoma supernatants Mouse line using long anti-CD79b monoclonal antibodies (clones 5B and 28B) Binding to human CD79b expressed on fibroblastic L cells tested by ELISA (Figure 7).

[0196] Generation of CAR constructs: Single-chain Flag of variable regions derived from VH and VL of clone 28B Using the specific sequence of the scFv (shown in Figure 7), several anti-CD7 9b CAR constructs were made using either the CD8α or CD28 hinge / transmembrane domains. To detect CAR expression in transduced T cells, a CAR-sensitive green fluorescent protein (CAR-G) was used. Fluorescent protein (eGFP) fusion constructs or truncated human epidermal growth factor receptor (hGF) uEGFRt) was used (Figure 8A). Anti-CD19 CAR construct was used as a control. The latter included a safety switch to remove CAR T cells if severe toxicity occurred. It can also function as a CD4+ signal to provide signal 1 for T cell activation. It incorporates the CD3-zeta (CD3ζ) chain and a costimulatory domain to provide signal 2. These constructs were then inserted into the nucleoside-binding domains CD28, 4-1BB, or OX40 (Figure 8A). , and cloned into the lentiviral vector pLVEG containing the EF1α promoter (Figure 1 8B), which are then used to transduce T cells and perform various in vitro and in vivo assays.

[0197] Anti-CD79b CAR specifically recognizes human CD79b: To measure signaling capacity, lentivirus was used to transduce their CAR (CD7 9b) clone 28B was used for CAR in Jurkat-Lucia TM NF AT reporter cells (Fig. 9A). In this cell line, secreted Coelentella The Lucia gene, which encodes the gene-utilizing luciferase, contains six copies of the NFAT constitutive Driven by the ISG54 minimal promoter fused to the sas transcriptional response element These transduced Jurkat cells were then treated with anti-CD3 / anti-CD28 antibodies or Daud antibodies. When cultured with Burkitt's lymphoma cells for 24 hours, the lymphocytes showed stronger lymphocyte proliferation than untreated cells. Luciferase activity was induced (Figure 9B). Recognition of CD79b by these CAR molecules To establish the specificity of CD19 and CD79, we used CRISPR / Cas9. SUDHL6, a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell line expressing β-glucanase (GlcNAc), or wild-type (WT), CD19 knockout (CD19KO), CD79bKO, and Isogenic CD19 / CD79b double KO (CD19KO CD79bKO) (Figure 9C). CAR-transduced Jurkat-Lucia TM NFAT Report Co-culture of parenteral cells with the SUDHL6 isogenic cell line demonstrated that the CD79b CAR binds to the parental cells Recognizes both CD79bKO cells and CD19KO cells, but not CD79bKO cells or CD19KOCD When 79bKO cells were used, the reactivity was significantly reduced. In contrast, CD1 9 CAR recognized both parental and CD79bKO cells, but not CD19KO or did not recognize CD19KOCD79bKO cells (Fig. 9D).

[0198] Transduction of CAR into primary human T cells: eGFP expression, and / or As measured by recombinant human CD79b-Fc protein staining using the CAR construct (Figure 8A). Representative transduction efficiencies measured are shown in Figure 10A. Anti-CD79b CAR T cells were either untreated or treated with anti-CD 3 / CD28 antibody or recombinant human CD79b-Fc protein. 15 min later Phosphorylation of CD3ζ and ERK1 / 2 was assessed by flow cytometry. Results showed no significant difference in baseline phosphorylation between CAR+ and CAR-T cells. The lack of sustained signaling suggests that anti-CD Stimulation with CD3 / CD28 antibody induced phosphorylation of CD3ζ in both CAR+ T cells. In contrast, recombinant human CD79b-Fc Protein stimulation increased the phosphorylation of CD3ζ and ERK1 / 2 in CAR+ T cells. These CARs induced CD4+ activation in the CAR-T cells but not in the CAR-T cells, suggesting that these CARs are It was shown that 79b protein can induce signaling in primary T cells in response to its recognition. This is suggested (Figure 10B).

[0199] Proliferative activity of anti-CD79b CAR T cells: The above CAR constructs (Figure 8A) were used to Anti-CD79b CAR T cells generated from healthy donor T cells were used in CellTrace Far Red-labeled CD79b-expressing Daudi Burkitt lymphoma tumor cells and 1: The cells were co-cultured at an effector-to-target (E:T) ratio of 1. After 4 days, CAR T cell proliferation The results were evaluated by flow cytometry using the dye dilution method. Both 9b CAR T cells and CD8+ anti-CD79b CAR T cells were able to treat Daudioma The anti-CD79 T cells showed significant proliferation in response to tumor cells compared to non-transduced T cells. b CAR T cell proliferation was comparable to anti-CD19 CAR T cells (Fig. 11A and and Figure 11B).

[0200] Cytokine production by anti-CD79b CAR T cells: the above CAR constructs (Figure 8A ) to generate anti-CD79b CAR T cells from healthy donor T cells. Burkitt's lymphoma tumor cells were co-cultured at an E:T ratio of 1:1. After 24 hours, The cytokine levels were assessed by multiplex cytokine assay. Results showed that anti-CD79b CAR T cells responded to Daudi tumor cells and inhibited the proliferation of non-transduced IL-2, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, and IL-17A in comparison with T cells. Cytokine production by anti-CD79b CAR T cells was significantly higher than that by anti-C This was comparable to that of D19 CAR T cells (Figure 12).

[0201] Anti-CD79b CAR T cells degranulate in response to lymphoma cells: the CAR structure described above Anti-CD79b CAR T cells generated from healthy donor T cells using the construct (Figure 8A). were co-cultured with Daudi Burkitt lymphoma tumor cells at an E:T ratio of 1:1 for 6 hours. Degranulation was subsequently assessed by flow cytometry after staining for CD107a / b. The results showed that CD4+ anti-CD79b CAR T cells and CD8+ anti-CD79b Both CAR T cells were effective in response to Daudi tumor cells compared with non-transduced T cells. Degranulation by anti-CD79b CAR T cells was significantly suppressed by anti-CD1 9 CAR T cells. Degranulation was comparable to that of CD28 hinge / transmembrane domain-containing antibodies. Compared to CD79b CAR T cells, anti-CD7 containing the CD8α hinge / transmembrane domain 9b CAR T cells were numerically superior (Figures 13A and 13B).

[0202] Anti-CD79b CAR T cells are cytotoxic to lymphoma cells: CA R construct (Figure 8A) was generated from healthy donor T cells and analyzed by CellTrace Fa r Red-labeled anti-CD79b CAR T cells were transfected with CellTrace Vio Daudi Burkitt lymphoma tumor cells or SUDHL6 isogene labeled with lett Transgenic cell lines (parental, CD19KO, CD79bKO and CD19 / CD79b double KO) ) at an E:T ratio of 1:1. After 4 days, the absolute number of remaining viable tumor cells was by flow cytometry by measuring the number of cells and calculating the percent lysis. The results showed that CD79b CAR T cells showed that transduced T cells induced significant cytotoxicity of Daudi tumor cells compared to non-transduced T cells. The cytotoxic activity of anti-CD79b CAR T cells was similar to that of anti-CD19 CAR T cells. The cytotoxic activity was observed in the CD28 hinge / transmembrane domain-containing anti-CD79b CA. Compared with RT cells, anti-CD79b CAR T containing the CD8α hinge / transmembrane domain Furthermore, anti-CD79b CAR T cells were significantly more potent than parental cells (Figure 14A). CD19KO induced significant lysis of both SUDHL6 cells and CD7 The expression of 9bKO or CD19KOCD79bKO cells was significantly reduced. CD19 CAR T cells induced significant lysis of both parental and CD79bKO cells However, lysis was significantly reduced in CD19KO or CD19KOCD79bKO cells. (Figure 14B).

[0203] Anti-CD79b CAR T cells exert antitumor effects in vivo: Anti-CD79 To examine the efficacy of b-CAR T cells in vivo, we used the firefly luciferase gene. Daudi Burkitt lymphoma cells expressing the gene were cultured at 2 × 10 4 Tumor cells / mouse NSG mice were IV-injected with 1000 mg of IgG1-positive T cells. Eleven days later, mice were treated with either untransduced T cells or the IgG1-positive T cells described above. Anti-CD19-CAR T cells or anti-CD19 CAR T cells generated using the CAR construct (Figure 8A) 5 × 10 79b-CAR T cells 6 CAR+ T cells / mouse administered by tail vein injection Bioluminescence imaging was used to assess tumor burden (Figure 15A). Mice treated with non-transduced T cells showed rapid tumor growth. Significant tumor control and improved survival were observed in mice treated with anti-CD19 CAR T cells. This was seen in both mice treated with anti-CD79b CAR T cells and mice treated with anti-CD79b CAR T cells. Tumor control and survival time were significantly associated with anti-CD79b CA containing the CD28 hinge / transmembrane domain Compared with RT cells, anti-CD79b CAR T containing the CD8α hinge / transmembrane domain The best survival time was observed in the CD8α hinge / transmembrane domain and OX4 This was observed with anti-CD79b CAR T cells containing the 0 costimulatory domain (Figure 15B).
