Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides compositions and methods for adoptive T cell therapy in treating a variety of disorders including cancer, infections, and autoimmune disorders. In one embodiment, the invention provides a universal immune receptor (UnivIR) that comprises an extracellular label binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain or otherwise an intracellular domain.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. An isolated biotin binding immune receptor (BBIR) comprising an extracellular binding domain, a transmembrane domain, a T cell receptor signaling domain, and an intracellular domain of a costimulatory molecule, wherein the extracellular binding domain comprises avidin in monomeric or dimeric form, wherein the BBIR comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 8-10. 2. The isolated BBIR of claim 1 , wherein the extracellular binding domain binds to a biotinylated antibody or antibody fragment. 3. The isolated BBIR of claim 2 , wherein the biotinylated antibody or antibody fragment binds to an antigen selected from the group consisting of a tumor antigen, a self-antigen, a viral antigen, and any combination thereof. 4. A cell comprising the BBIR of claim 1 . 5. The cell of claim 4 , wherein the extracellular binding domain of the BBIR binds to a biotinylated antibody or antibody fragment. 6. The cell of claim 5 , wherein the biotinylated antibody or antibody fragment binds to an antigen selected from the group consisting of a tumor antigen, a self-antigen, a viral antigen, and any combination thereof. 7. The cell of claim 4 , wherein the cell is selected from the group consisting of a T cell, a Natural Killer (NK) cell, a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), and a regulatory T cell. 8. An isolated biotin binding immune receptor (BBIR) comprising an extracellular binding domain, a transmembrane domain, a T cell receptor signaling domain, and an intracellular domain of a costimulatory molecule, wherein the extracellular binding domain comprises avidin in monomeric or dimeric form, wherein the BBIR is encoded by a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 11, 15, and 16. 9. The isolated BBIR of claim 8 , wherein the extracellular binding domain binds to a biotinylated antibody or antibody fragment. 10. The isolated BBIR of claim 8 , wherein the biotinylated antibody or antibody fragment binds to an antigen selected from the group consisting of a tumor antigen, a self-antigen, a viral antigen, and any combination thereof. 11. A cell comprising the isolated BBIR of claim 8 . 12. The cell of claim 11 , wherein the extracellular binding domain of the BBIR binds to a biotinylated antibody or antibody fragment. 13. The cell of claim 12 , wherein the biotinylated antibody or antibody fragment binds to an antigen selected from the group consisting of a tumor antigen, a self-antigen, a viral antigen, and any combination thereof. 14. The cell of claim 11 , wherein the cell is selected from the group consisting of a T cell, a Natural Killer (NK) cell, a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), and a regulatory T cell.
