The disclosure provides chimeric antigen receptors and antibodies that comprise antigen-binding domains that specifically bind human STEAP2, nucleotides that encode the same, cells comprising the same, and methods of using the same in the treatment of cancer (e.g., prostate cancer).

The present invention relates to methods for administering therapeutic doses of bispecific T-cell engaging molecules for the treatment of cancer in a patient. The administration methods reduce the incidence and/or severity of adverse events, such as cytokine release syndrome, and entail administering to a patient a priming dose of the bispecific T-cell engaging molecule by continuous intravenous infusion over a period of days followed by administration of a therapeutic dose of the bispecific T-cell engaging molecule by a bolus intravenous infusion at dosing intervals of at least a week.

The present invention relates to genetically modified B cells and their uses thereof, for example, for the treatment of a variety of diseases and disorders, including cancer, heart disease, inflammatory disease, muscle wasting disease, neurological disease, and the like. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to an isolated modified B cell (CAR-B cell), capable of expressing a chimeric receptor (CAR-B receptor), wherein said chimeric receptor comprises (a) an extracellular domain; (b) a transmembrane domain; and (c) a cytoplasmic domain that comprises at least one signaling domain. In various embodiments, the invention comprises an isolated modified B cell, wherein said B cell is capable of expressing and secreting a payload, wherein the payload is not naturally expressed in a B cell or is expressed at higher levels than is naturally expressed in a B cell. In various embodiments, the payload is an antibody or fragment thereof.

Therapeutic and diagnostic methods are provided, which methods relate to the induction of expression of calreticulin on phagocytic cells. Specifically, the methods relate to macrophage-mediated programmed cell removal (PrCR), the methods comprising increasing PrCR by contacting a phagocytic cell with a toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist; or down-regulating PrCR by contacting a phagocytic cell with an inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). In some embodiments, an activator of TLR signaling or a BTK agonist is provided in combination with CD4 7 blockade.

Compositions and methods are disclosed herein for producing one or more immunoglobulins in an isolated cytotoxic B lymphocyte cell line. An isolated cell line includes an isolated B lymphocyte cell line capable of expressing at least one exogenously incorporated membrane immunoglobulin capable of binding to a first antigen and at least one endogenous secreted immunoglobulin capable of binding to a second antigen, and further capable of expressing at least one exogenously incorporated recombinant B cell receptor that signals for expression of cytotoxic effector molecules.

Anti-PSMA antibodies (e.g., UniAbs?) and CAR-T structures are disclosed, along with methods of making such antibodies and CAR-T structures, compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, comprising such antibodies and CAR-T structures, and their use to treat disorders that are characterized by the expression of PSMA.

Provided are a preparation method for a CTL cell and an application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: inducing a CTL cell by using a tumor antigen PAP-GM-CSF sensitized DC cell; and knocking out a PD-1 gene of the CTL cell to obtain a PD-1 knock-out CTL cell. The CTL cell obtained by the preparation method can be used for preparing drugs for treatment of prostate cancer, especially for treating PAP-positive prostate cancer. The CTL cell does not cause CTL cell failure and anergy due to the tumor-expressed PD-L1 after being transfused into the body, thereby producing efficient specific cytotoxic effect on a tumor cell and improving the curative effect and reducing the side effect.

Embodiments of the present invention provide isolated proteins comprising antigen binding domains that bind kallikrein related peptidase 2 (hK2), including monospecific and bispecific antibodies. Additional embodiments of the invention provide polynucleotides encoding the hk2-specific proteins, vectors, host cells, and methods of making and using them.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods that rapidly and selectively modify cells of the immune system to achieve therapeutic objectives. The methods can be practiced in vivo and any cell type that expresses a known marker can be targeted for a therapeutic objective.

Engineered effector cells, such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), are used for enhanced immunogenic response to specific antigen, such as CD46. Disclosed herein are compositions and methods of treatment a cancer overexpressing CD46, which comprises a pharmaceutical composition comprising an engineered effector cell.
