    摘要: The present disclosure provides modified EGFR peptides useful in genetically-modified cells to allow for selection and enrichment of those cells expressing the modified EGFR peptide. For example, isolation of genetically-modified cells expressing a modified EGFR peptide can allow for selection of cells that co-express a chimeric antigen receptor or exogenous T cell receptor. In those instances wherein the genetically-modified cells present adverse effects when administered to a subject, the modified EGFR finds further use as a suicide gene upon administration of an anti-EGFR antibody, leading to depletion of the genetically-modified cells. Also disclosed herein are plasmids and viral vectors comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding the modified EGFR peptides, and methods of administering compositions comprising the modified EGFR peptides to subjects in order to reduce the symptoms, progression, or occurrence of disease, such as cancer.

    摘要: This invention relates to follistatin-resistant variants of activin that are modified to include mutations at residues Asp27 and Gln98. These activin variants are shown to display increased resistance to follistatin inhibition relative to wild-type activin and hence increased signaling potency in cell culture. Modified activin and methods for its production and use are provided.
