Nucleic acid, chimeric antigen receptor expression plasmid, chimeric antigen receptor expressing cell, use thereof, and pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer
The present disclosure relates to a chimeric antigen receptor, a nucleic acid, a chimeric antigen receptor expression plasmid, a chimeric antigen receptor expressing cell, a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer, and use of the chimeric antigen receptor expressing cell. The chimeric antigen receptor is specific to human leukocyte antigen G. The nucleic acid encodes the chimeric antigen receptor. The chimeric antigen receptor expression plasmid expresses the chimeric antigen receptor. The chimeric antigen receptor expressing cell is obtained by transducing the chimeric antigen receptor into an immune cell. The pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer includes the chimeric antigen receptor expressing cell and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
REGENERATIVE CAR-T CELLS
A method of creating antigen-specific, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells capable of secreting regenerative growth factors upon activation of said CAR. In one embodiment said regenerative CAR-T cells possess a CAR capable of selectively recognizing damaged tissue. In one embodiment said CAR recognizes damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as ATP, HMGB-1, matricryptins, cold-inducible RNA-binding protein, histones and mitochondrial DNA. Upon activation of said CAR said regenerative CAR-T cell is induced to produce one or more regenerative growth factors. In some embodiments the invention provides a suicide gene in said regenerative CAR-T cells in order to remove said cells after their therapeutic purpose is completed.
Anti-annexin A2 monoclonal antibodies
The present invention relates to an antigen-binding protein, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising (i) a heavy chain variable domain comprising a VHCDR1 having the amino acid sequence GYSITSGYSWH; a VHCDR2 having the amino acid sequence YIHYSGSTKYNPSLKS and a VHCDR3 having the amino acid sequence GSNYGFDY; and (ii) a light chain variable domain comprising a VLCDR1 having the amino acid sequence KSSQSLLYSNDQKNYLA, a VLCDR2 having the amino acid sequence WASIRES, and a VLCDR3 having the amino acid sequence QQYYIYPLT. The present invention also relates to an antigen-binding protein, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising (i) a heavy chain variable domain comprising a VHCDR1 having the amino acid sequence VYSITSGYSWH; a VHCDR2 having the amino acid sequence YIHYSGSTKYNPSLKS, and a VHCDR3 having the amino acid sequence GTDNAVDY; and (ii) a light chain variable domain comprising a VLCDR1 having the amino acid sequence KSSQSLLYSSNQKNYLA, a VLCDR2 having the amino acid sequence WAS SRES, and a VLCDR3 having the amino acid sequence QQYYIYPLT. Compositions comprising the antigen-binding protein, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, methods of use of the antigen-binding protein, or antigen-binding fragment thereof and kits comprising the antigen-binding protein, or antigen-binding fragment thereof are also provided.
