    Abstract: A reversibly gated effector polypeptide e.g. a chimeric antigen receptor (protease-activating CD45-gate CAR) comprising an extracellular CD45 recruiting domain, a protease-cleavable linker, and a polypeptide comprising an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain. Nucleic acids including vectors and expression vectors that encode the protease-activating CD45-gate CAR and cells including immune cells such as T cells that comprise and express the nucleic acids. Methods of treatment of various conditions including various forms of cancer comprising administering the cells including CAR T cell therapy. In some embodiments, the CD45 gate at least partially inhibits activation of the protease-activating CD45-gate CAR when the protease-activating CD45-gate CAR binds antigen. The inhibition is at least partially diminished, relieved and/or eliminated when the protease-activating CD45-gate CAR is exposed to a protease that can cleave the linker.

    Abstract: Provided here are engineered immune cells that comprise a constitutively active chimeric cytokine receptor (CACCR) and a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Also provided herein are engineered immune cells that comprise one or more nucleic acids e.g. a bicistronic vector such as a viral vector that encode the CACCRs and BCMA CARs and engineered immune cells e.g. engineered autologous or allogeneic T cells that express both CACCRs and BCMA CARs from the nucleic acids. When present on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-bearing engineered immune cells, the CACCRs allow for increased immune cell activation, proliferation, persistence, and/or potency. Further provided herein are methods of making and using the engineered immune cells described herein, such as methods of treating a disease or condition by administering at least one appropriate dose of the cells to a patient suffering from the condition.
