Provided are chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), which contain extracellular antigen-binding domains that bind to G Protein-Coupled Receptor Class C Group 5 Member D (GPRC5D) and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). The disclosure further relates to genetically engineered cells expressing such CARs, and uses thereof in adoptive cell therapy.

Materials and methods for producing genome-edited cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct on the cell surface, and materials and methods for genome editing to modulate the expression, function, or activity of one or more immuno-oncology related genes in a cell, and materials and methods for treating a patient using the genome-edited engineered cells.

Materials and methods for producing genome-edited cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct on the cell surface, and materials and methods for genome editing to modulate the expression, function, or activity of one or more immuno-oncology related genes in a cell, and materials and methods for treating a patient using the genome-edited engineered cells.

This invention is in the area of compositions and methods for regulating chimeric antigen receptor immune effector cell, for example T-cell (CAR-T), therapy to modulate associated adverse inflammatory responses, for example, cytokine release syndrome and tumor lysis syndrome, using targeted protein degradation.

Provided in the present invention are a specific antibody of BCMA and a BCMA-targeting immune effector cell, and also provided are a chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell prepared using the antibody and the use thereof.

The present disclosure relates to methods for using BCMA-specific binding molecules (such as a BCMA-specific chimeric antigen receptor or antibody) in combination with -secretase inhibitors, which can be done concurrently or sequentially, to treat or prevent a B-cell related proliferative disease, such as a cancer or autoimmune disease, or the like. A BCMA-specific binding molecule in combination with -secretase inhibitor can be used in, for example, adoptive immunotherapy.

Disclosed herein are methods for culturing CAR-modified immune cells with at least one Retinoic Acid Receptor and/or Retinoid X Receptor active agent.

Disclosed herein are methods for culturing CAR-modified immune cells with at least one Retinoic Acid Receptor and/or Retinoid X Receptor active agent.

The present invention provides a cell comprising first and second chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), which bind to different antigens, wherein the first CAR binds to Transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand (CAML) interactor (TACI). The present invention also provides a cell comprising a tan CAR comprising first and second antigen-binding domains which bind to different antigens, wherein the first antigen binding domain binds the antigen Transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand (CAML) interactor (TACI). The present invention further provides corresponding nucleic acid sequences and/or constructs, kits and vectors comprising said nucleic acid sequences and/or constructs, molecules and methods for making such cells. The cells may be used in cellular immunotherapy approaches for treating diseases such as multiple myeloma.

The invention includes compositions and methods to rapidly isolate and culture cells that are potent for use in adoptive immunotherapy. In one embodiment, the isolated cells of the invention are tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) that express CD137 (also known as 4-1BB and TNFSFR9).
