Methods and compositions for preventing or treating cancer

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for inhibiting a cancer cell using nucleic acid sequences encoding elephant p53 or elephant p53 amino acid sequences.

CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS AND METHODS OF MAKING

Provided are methods of generating chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). In some embodiments, library screening of CAR is performed by generating a vector encoding the CAR from random attachment of vectors from libraries of vectors encoding antigen-binding domains (e.g., scFv regions), hinge regions, and endodomains. In some embodiments, the vectors contain a transposon.
