AUTO/ALLOIMMUNE PROTECTION RECEPTORS FOR SELECTIVE TARGETING OF ACTIVATED PATHOGENIC T-CELLS AND NK-CELLS

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosure concern engineered auto/allo-immune defense receptor (ADR)-expressing T cells that selectively target activated T cells, including pathogenic T cells, to incapacitate them. The chimeric receptors comprise moieties for targeting 4-1BB, 0X40, and CD40L, for example, whose expression is indicative of activated T cells. In particular embodiments, there are methods of preventing or treating conditions associated with activated T cells using adoptive T-cell transfer of cells encoding the ADRs.
