The compositions and methods described herein are directed to treating solid tumors using CAR T therapy and/or antibodies targeting GCC. The compositions include CAR comprising an extracellular domain that binds GCC.

RNA molecules comprising a guide sequence portion having 17-20 nucleotides in the sequence of 17-20 contiguous nucleotides set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-3010 and compositions, methods, and uses thereof.

According to the invention, gene products expressed in a tumor-associated manner and the nucleic acids coding therefor were identified. The invention relates to the therapy and diagnosis of diseases wherein said gene products expressed in a tumor-associated manner are aberrantly expressed. The invention also relates to proteins, polypeptides and peptides which are expressed in a tumor associated manner and to nucleic acids coding therefor.

Disclosed are viral vector compositions comprising polynucleotide sequences that express one or more biologically-active mammalian guanylate cyclase proteins. Also disclosed are methods for their use in preventing, treating, and/or ameliorating at least one or more symptoms of a disease, disorder, abnormal condition, or dysfunction resulting at least in part from a guanylate cyclase deficiency in vivo. In particular embodiments, the use of recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors to treat or ameliorate symptoms of Leber's congenital amaurosis, as well as other conditions caused by an absence or reduction in the expression of a functional retinal-specific guanylate cyclase 1 (retGC1).

The invention provides processes of purifying a peptide including a GCC agonist sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-251 described herein. The processes include a solvent exchange step before a freeze-drying (lyophilization) step.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of treating a subject having digestive tract cancer, the method comprising: administering an effective amount of a composition to the subject, the composition comprising a first population of cells comprising a first CAR binding a first antigen, and a second population of cells comprising a second CAR binding GCC, wherein the first antigen comprises a cell surface molecule of a white blood cell (WBC).

Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating an eye disorder, for example cone-rod dystrophy type 6 (CORD6). In certain aspects, a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising nucleic acids is administered to a subject to treat an autosomal dominant disorder or condition, such as a condition associated with a dominant mutation in a guanylate cyclase 2D (GUCY2D) gene, such as knocking out a dominant mutant form of the gene in the subject. Further provided herein are recombinant AAV particles that comprise one or more recombinant AAV genomes comprising nucleic acids that encode a guide RNA that targets a GUCY2D gene and/or an RNA-guided endonuclease.

The invention provides processes of purifying a peptide including a GCC agonist sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-251 described herein. The processes include a solvent exchange step before a freeze-drying (lyophilization) step.
