The present invention provides compositions and methods for inducing tolerance in a human. The invention includes administering a genetically modified T cell expressing a CAR wherein the CAR comprises an antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain, a costimulatory signaling region, and a CD3 zeta signaling domain.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating diseases, disorders or conditions associated with the expression of the Glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked GDNF family ?-receptor 4 (GFR?4).

Disclosed herein are polynucleotides encoding ligand-inducible gene switch polypeptides, and systems comprising gene switch polypeptides for modulating the expression of a heterologous gene and an interleukin in a host cell. The compositions, methods and systems described herein facilitate ligand dependent expression of polypeptides including but not limited to cytokines and antigen binding polypeptides.

The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a chimeric antigen receptor and use thereof. The present invention provides a novel chimeric antigen receptor, comprising an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain, wherein the transmembrane domain and the intracellular domain of the chimeric antigen receptor form a costimulatory signaling domain, and the costimulatory signaling domain comprises a full length or a fragment of an amino acid sequence encoding a reverse dectin-1. Experiments prove that novel CAR-T cells provided by the present invention are effective against a variety of solid tumors and hematological malignancies.

The present disclosure provides for chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that specifically target a G-protein coupled receptor, G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D), and immunoresponsive cells comprising such CARs, for the treatment of cancer.

Disclosed in the present application are CAR constructs that encode domains of anti-CD19 antibodies, T cells that include and express the CD19 CAR constructs, and methods of use, such as methods of treating disease, including hematological cancers, using CAR-T cells that express the CD19 CAR constructs.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods relating to an engineering cell with enhancer moiety in treating the subject with cancers and infection diseases. The engineering cells include T cells, NK cells, T NK cells, gamma delta (??) T cells and MR1-R T cells.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to an immune preparation, a composition comprising the immune preparation and a use thereof, and a preparation method. an immune adjuvant provided by the present disclosure is an erythrocyte-derived vesicle, and the erythrocyte-derived vesicle has an erythrocyte content and a biofilm structured wrapped outside the erythrocyte content as a whole, and the two are matched with each other, so that the erythrocyte-derived vesicle serves as an endogenous substance of the body to activate an immune system of the body and effectively enhance a cellular immune response. Moreover, in this process, no toxic or side effect is caused to the body, and the method has the advantages of high biocompatibility, safe raw material source and simple preparation process.

Embodiments of the disclosure encompass methods and compositions that enhance adoptive cell therapy by preventing or at least reducing on-target off-tumor effects of adoptive cell therapy. The disclosure concerns an immune effector cells of any type that are engineered to express two separate chimeric molecules: an activating chimeric antigen receptor that activates the immune effector cell through costimulatory domains following binding to a first antigen, and an inhibitory chimeric antigen receptor that inhibits cell-mediated activation upon binding to a second antigen. In specific cases, the inhibitory chimeric antigen receptor prevents fratricide and exhaustion by inhibiting activation of the cell through the activating chimeric antigen receptor when the inhibitory chimeric antigen receptor binds a particular antigen, including one adopted by sibling engineered immune effector cells through trogocytosis.

The present disclosure relates to identifying novel tumor immune evasion targets. A CRISPR activation screen was employed to identify novel checkpoint inhibitor targets, where upon upregulation, conferred tumor resistance to cytotoxic T cells in model cancer cell lines. Using MAGeCK and FDR analyses to identify candidate genes that were enriched in cancer cells, B3GNT2, MCL1, BCL2A1 and JUNB were identified as the most enriched after a pathway analysis of the top 576 genes prioritized by MAGeCK. Currently, these four genes have not been identified or suggested as possible checkpoint inhibitor targets. Provided herein are methods of targeting the expression or activity of B3GNT2, MCL1, BCL2A1 and JUNB using small molecule agents and/or gene editing methods with the aim of enhancing anti-tumor immunity in subjects in need thereof.
