MATERIALS AND METHODS OF IL-1BETA BINDING PROTEINS

Provided herein, in certain aspects, are antibodies that bind to IL-1β and compositions comprising the antibodies. Methods of making and using the antibodies are also provided.

Engineered T Cells

A therapeutic molecule (single chain-based antibody or ligand-based) optimized for expression and secretion from engineered T cells, which may be gamma delta (gd) T cells. When expressed from engineered gdT cells, the STAR will be secreted and mediate engagement between gdT cells and antigen/receptor on target cells. Binding mediates the formation of a cytolytic synapse between the gdT cell and the target cell leading to activation the gdT cells to release proteolytic enzymes that kill target cells.

A transgenic non-human animal is provided. In certain embodiments, the animal comprises a genome comprising an immunoglobulin heavy chain locus comprising: a) a transcribed gene encoding a fusion protein comprising, from N-terminus to C-terminus: i. a scaffold comprising a first binding domain; and ii. a heavy chain constant region operably linked to the scaffold; wherein the scaffold is capable of specifically binding to a target in the absence of additional polypeptides; and b) a plurality of pseudogenes that are operably linked to the transcribed gene and that donate, by gene conversion, nucleotide sequence to the part of the transcribed gene that encodes the binding domain.

BISPECIFIC CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS AND THERAPEUTIC USES THEREOF

The invention is directed to a bispecific chimeric antigen receptor, comprising: (a) at least two antigen-specific targeting regions; (b) an extracellular spacer domain; (c) a transmembrane domain; (d) at least one co-stimulatory domain; and (e) an intracellular signaling domain, wherein each antigen-specific targeting region comprises an antigen-specific single chain Fv (scFv) fragment, and binds a different antigen, and wherein the bispecific chimeric antigen receptor is co-expressed with a therapeutic control. The invention also provides methods and uses of the bispecific chimeric antigen receptors.

ANTI- GPRC5D ANTIBODIES, BISPECIFIC ANTIGEN BINDING MOLECULES THAT BIND GPRC5D AND CD3, AND USES THEREOF
