A novel chimeric receptor composition, a recombinant vector, a cell, and an application thereof. The novel chimeric receptor composition includes a conventional chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), and a NKG2D chimeric receptor including a full-length sequence or a truncated fragment of NKG2D, DAP10, and/or DAP12, referred to as a SNR-armed CAR. The chimeric receptor composition enables a conventional CAR-T cell to express a NKG2D extracellular domain and an intracellular signal domain, expands a CAR-T antigen recognition spectrum, solves the tumor heterogeneity, achieves a lower level of cytokine release while enhancing the killing capability of CAR-T on tumor cells expressing target antigens, reduces the possibility of cytokine storm occurrence, and improves the CAR-T security.

Provided are chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) specific to a selected tumor antigen. Also provided are structure designs and function profiles of provided CAR candidates.

A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), containing a BCMA (B cell maturation antigen) binding domain. The BCMA binding domain includes an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody that specifically binds to BCMA. The antibody contains a heavy-chain complementarity determining region 3 (HCDR3), a heavy-chain complementarity determining region 2 (HCDR2), and a heavy-chain complementarity determining region 1 (HCDR1). The HCDR3 contains an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 25, the HCDR2 contains an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 41, and the HCDR1 contains an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 21.

The present disclosure provides allogeneic cells that cause reduced risks of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and reduced risk of CD8 and NK cell rejections, for example, when used to treat diseases, such as cancer and/or autoimmune disease, in a patient. The allogeneic cells may be genetically engineered to reduce the expression or activity of CD58. Methods of preparing and using such allogeneic cells are also provided.

Compositions and methods are provided for treating lymphoma in an individual by targeting engineered phagocytes to lymphoma cells. In particular, the phagocytes provided for administration to an individual, who has lymphoma, are engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that specifically binds to an antigen present on lymphoma cells. The CAR localizes the engineered phagocytes to sites where lymphoma cells are present. In some embodiments, phagocytic activity of the phagocytes is enhanced by further engineering the phagocytes to express a hyperactive Rac GTPase.

Embodiments of the disclosure encompass particular chimeric antigen receptor constructs that comprise optionally a hinge, one of the CD28 transmembrane domain or the DAP10 transmembrane domain, DAP10 costimulatory domain, and CD3zeta. In particular embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor is expressed by natural killer (NK) cells, and in some cases the NK cells are further modified, such as to express one or more cytokines and optionally a suicide gene.

Described herein are antigen binding proteins with specificity to Melanoma-Associated Antigen A4 (MAGE-A4) peptide-MHC (pMHC). Also described are multispecific antigen binding proteins comprising an antigen binding domain with specificity to CD3, and at least one MAGE-A4 pMHC antigen binding domain. Methods of treating cancer with the same are also described.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides cells comprising a Fas ligand (FasL) polypeptide and a cFLIP polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the cells further comprise an antigen-recognizing receptor (e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a T cell receptor (TCR), or a TCR like fusion molecule). Also provided are uses of the cells for cell lysis of target cells expressing Fas, and for treating diseases or disorders, e.g., tumors.

The present invention provides an antibody that binds to a linker in a new style of binding. More specifically, the present invention provides an antibody that binds to the linking part between a first region and a linker and the linking part between a linker and a second region in an scFv structure.

An antigen-binding domain, antibody or chimeric antigen receptor that binds to CD84.
