AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current CAR-T cell therapy involves lymphodepletion, which complicates the medical procedure, increases patient burden, and risks infection and cytokine release syndrome due to indiscriminate stimulation of immune cells.

Method used

A composition comprising a cytokine peptide, such as cytomegalovirus IL-10 (cmvIL-10), anchored to cells via a signal peptide or engineered targeting moiety, allowing targeted proliferation and survival of select immune cells.

Benefits of technology

Enhances the proliferation and survival of targeted immune cells while minimizing stimulation of undesirable lymphocytes, reducing the risk of cytokine release syndrome and infection.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a nucleic acid molecule, a polypeptide, a protein, a cell, or a system comprising a cytokine, optionally a targeting moiety (e.g., a chimeric antigens receptor), and / or an anchoring structure that can attach to the surface of a cell (e.g., an engineered immune cell), and the methods to prepare the same and to use the same to treat a disease or a condition.
