Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Chimeric antigen receptors that include an antigen recognition domain; a spacer domain derived from a modified immunoglobulin Fc region having one or more mutations in its CH2 region resulting in impaired binding to an FcR; and an intracellular signaling domain.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A recombinant chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising: an antigen recognition domain that targets a cancer associated antigen selected from the group consisting of CD19, CD20, CD123, HER2, IL-13 receptor α2, prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), and tumor-associated glycoprotein-72 (TAG-72); a spacer domain comprising the amino acid sequence ESKYGPPCPPCPAPEFEGGPSVFLFPPKPKDTLMISRTPEVTCVVVDVSQEDPEVQFNWYVDGVEVHNAKT KPREEQFQSTYRVVSVLTVLHQDWLNGKEYKCKVSNKGLPSSIEKTISKAKGQPREPQVYTLPPSQEEMTKN QVSLTCLVKGFYPSDIAVEWESNGQPENNYKTTPPVLDSDGSFFLYSRLTVDKSRWQEGNVFSCSVMHEA LHNHYTQKSLSLSLGK (SEQ ID NO: 19); a transmembrane domain; a co-stimulatory intracellular signaling domain selected from the group consisting of: CD28, ICOS, OX40, CD27, DAP10, 4-1BB, p56lck, and 2B4; and a T cell receptor (TCR) zeta chain signaling domain. 2 . The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the co-stimulatory intracellular signaling domain is 4-1BB. 3 . The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the co-stimulatory intracellular signaling domain is CD28. 4 . The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the antigen recognition domain targets IL-13 receptor α2. 5 . The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the antigen recognition domain is an scFv. 6 . The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 5 , wherein the antigen recognition domain is an scFv that targets CD19 and comprises a light chain variable domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and a heavy chain variable domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
