    摘要: The present invention provides nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, methods and compositions to confer and/or augment immune responses mediated by cellular immunotherapy, such as by adoptively transferring CD8+ central memory T cells or combinations of central memory T cells with CD4+ T cells that are genetically modified to express a chimeric receptor. In embodiments the genetically modified host cell comprises a nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide coding for a ligand binding domain, a polynucleotide comprising a customized spacer region, a polynucleotide comprising a transmembrane domain, and a polynucleotide comprising an intracellular signaling domain. It has been surprisingly found that the length of the spacer region can affects the ability of chimeric receptor modified T cells to recognize target cells in vitro and affects in vivo efficacy of the chimeric receptor modified T cells. Pharmaceutical formulations produced by the method, and methods of using the same, are also described.

    摘要: Provided herein is a system for inducible expression of a chimeric antigen receptor in cells, such as mammalian cells. The system comprises: a) a first nucleic acid comprising a first promoter inducible by a drug, wherein the first nucleic acid is operably linked to a first polynucleotide that encodes a chimeric antigen receptor, which comprises a ligand binding domain that is specific for a ligand selected from the group consisting of a tumor specific molecule, a viral specific molecule, and any other selected molecule expressed on a target cell population, wherein the ligand elicits recognition, modulation, inhibition, and/or elimination by a lymphocyte, a second polynucleotide, which encodes a spacer or an optimized polypeptide spacer, a third polynucleotide, which encodes a transmembrane domain and a fourth polynucleotide, which encodes an intracellular signaling domain and b) a second nucleic acid comprising a second promoter that is operably linked to a nucleic acid encoding a transcriptional activator for the first promoter inducible by drug, wherein the system is inducible by an amount of the drug that is less than a comparable system utilizing a wild type HEA3 chimeric transcription factor, or the system has an enhanced transcriptional expression at a given concentration of the drug compared to a wild type HEA3. Methods of making such cells and methods of treatment using these cells are also provided.
