2 results about "CAR T-cell therapy" patented technology

The disclosure provides anti-CD70 antibodies, antigen binding fragments thereof, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) comprising an antigen binding molecule that specifically binds to CD70, polynucleotides encoding the same, and in vitro cells comprising the same. The polynucleotides, polypeptides, and in vitro cells described herein can be used in an engineered TCR and / or CAR T cell therapy for the treatment of a patient suffering from a cancer. In one embodiment, the polynucleotides, polypeptides, and in vitro cells described herein can be used for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

A reversibly gated effector polypeptide e.g. a chimeric antigen receptor (protease-activating CD45-gate CAR) comprising an extracellular CD45 recruiting domain, a protease-cleavable linker, and a polypeptide comprising an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain. Nucleic acids including vectors and expression vectors that encode the protease-activating CD45-gate CAR and cells including immune cells such as T cells that comprise and express the nucleic acids. Methods of treatment of various conditions including various forms of cancer comprising administering the cells including CAR T cell therapy. In some embodiments, the CD45 gate at least partially inhibits activation of the protease-activating CD45-gate CAR when the protease-activating CD45-gate CAR binds antigen. The inhibition is at least partially diminished, relieved and / or eliminated when the protease-activating CD45-gate CAR is exposed to a protease that can cleave the linker.
