BACKGROUND

[0003] The generation of tumor-specific T lymphocytes by genetic modification to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is gaining traction as a form of synthetic biology generating powerful antitumor effects. Because the specificity is conferred by antibody fragments, the CAR-T cells are not MHC restricted and are therefore more practical than approaches based on T-cell receptors that require MHC matching.

[0004] Although early CAR-T cell clinical data obtained in the treatment of cancer have shown promising results, the risk to patients is higher, and some patients' T cells are effective even after TCR or CAR redirection. Treatment is also not sufficiently effective, which promotes the modification of allogeneic donor T cells. However, endogenous .alpha..beta. T cell receptors on infused allogeneic T cells can recognize primary and secondary histocompatibility antigens in the recipient, which results in graft versus host disease (GVHD). As a result, most current clinical trials using autologous CAR-T cell infusion rely on immune tolerance to prevent TCR-mediated deleterious recognition of normal tissues following adoptive cell transfer. This approach has achieved early clinical success, but is limited by the time and expense of manufacturing patient-specific T cell products.

Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region comprises a constant domain CL. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into hypervariable regions called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) interspersed with more conserved regions called framework regions (FR). Each VH and VL contains three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain a binding domain that interacts with the antigen.

[0108] The term "nucleotide," as used herein, generally refers to a base-sugar-phosphate combination. A nucleotide can comprise a synthetic nucleotide. A nucleotide can comprise a synthetic nucleotide analog. Nucleotides can be monomeric units of a nucleic acid sequence (e.g. deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)).

[0109] The terms "polynucleotide," "oligonucleotide," and "nucleic acid" are used interchangeably to refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof, either in single-, double-, or multi-stranded form. A polynucleotide can be exogenous or endogenous to a cell. A polynucleotide can exist in a cell-free environment. A polynucleotide can be a gene or fragment thereof. A polynucleotide can be DNA. A polynucleotide can be RNA. A polynucleotide can have any three dimensional structure, and can perform any function, known or unknown. A polynucleotide can comprise one or more analogs (e.g. altered backbone, sugar, or nucleobase). If present, modifications to the nucleotide structure can be imparted before or after assembly of the polymer. Some non-limiting examples of analogs include: 5-bromouracil, peptide nucleic acid, xeno nucleic acid, morpholinos, locked nucleic acids, glycol nucleic acids, threose nucleic acids, dideoxynucleotides, cordycepin, 7-deaza-GTP, fluorophores (e.g. rhodamine or fluorescein linked to the sugar), thiol containing nucleotides, biotin linked nucleotides, fluorescent base analogs, CpG islands, methyl-7-guanosine, methylated nucleotides, inosine, thiouridine, pseudourdine, dihydrouridine, queuosine, and wyosine. Non-limiting examples of polynucleotides include coding or non-coding regions of a gene or gene fragment, loci (locus) defined from linkage analysis, exons, introns, messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), short-hairpin RNA (shRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), ribozymes, cDNA, recombinant polynucleotides, branched polynucleotides, plasmids, vectors, isolated DNA of any sequence, isolated RNA of any sequence, cell-free polynucleotides including cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and cell-free RNA (cfRNA), nucleic acid probes, and primers. The sequence of nucleotides can be interrupted by non-nucleotide components.

[0110] The term "gene," as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA such as genomic DNA and cDNA) and its corresponding nucleotide sequence that is involved in encoding an RNA transcript. The term as used herein with reference to genomic DNA includes intervening, non-coding regions as well as regulatory regions and can include 5' and 3' ends. In some uses, the term encompasses the transcribed sequences, including 5' and 3' untranslated regions (5'-UTR and 3'-UTR), exons and introns. In some genes, the transcribed region will contain "open reading frames" that encode polypeptides. In some uses of the term, a "gene" comprises only the coding sequences (e.g., an "open reading frame" or "coding region") necessary for encoding a polypeptide. In some cases, genes do not encode a polypeptide, for example, ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. In some cases, the term "gene" includes not only the transcribed sequences, but in addition, also includes non-transcribed regions including upstream and downstream regulatory regions, enhancers and promoters. A gene can refer to an "endogenous gene" or a native gene in its natural location in the genome of an organism. A gene can refer to an "exogenous gene" or a non-native gene. A non-native gene can refer to a gene not normally found in the host organism but which is introduced into the host organism by gene transfer. A non-native gene can also refer to a gene not in its natural location in the genome of an organism. A non-native gene can also refer to a naturally occurring nucleic acid or polypeptide sequence that comprises mutations, insertions and/or deletions (e.g., non-native sequence).

[0111] The term "endogenous," as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide normally expressed in a cell or tissue.

[0112] The term "exogenous," as used herein, refers to the nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide is not endogenously present in the cell or is present at a level sufficient to achieve the functional effects obtained upon overexpression. Thus, the term "exogenous" includes any recombinant nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide expressed in a cell, e.g., a foreign, heterologous, and overexpressed nucleic acid molecule and polypeptide.

[0113] The term "T cell and NK cell consensus marker," as used herein, refers to a marker co-existing on T cells and NK cells, including but not limited to: CD2, CD7, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD69, CD100, CD122, CD132, CD161, CD159a, CD159c, CD314.

[0114] The term "marker of T cells and/or NK cells," as used herein, refers to markers present in T cells or NK cells, respectively, or both T cells and NK cells, including but not limited to: CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD16a, CD16b, CD25, CD27, CD28, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD57, CD62L, CD69, CD94, CD100, CD102, CD122, CD127, CD132, CD160, CD161 CD178, CD218, CD226, CD244, CD159a (NKG2A), CD159c (NKG2C), NKG2E, CD314 (NKG2D), CD305, CD335 (NKP46), CD337, SLAMF7.

[0115] The term "functionally inactivate" or "functional inactivation" as used herein refers to that a functional gene or the product of the gene such as mRNA or protein is prevented or inhibited. The inactivation may be achieved by deletion, addition or substitution of the gene or the promoter thereof, so that expression does not occur, or mutation of the coding sequence of the gene so that the gene product such as mRNA or protein is inactive. The functional inactivation may be complete or partial. Inactivation of a gene can encompass all degrees of inactivation, including gene silencing, knockout, inhibition and disruption. In some embodiments, the functional inactivation is introduced by CRISPR-Cas9 system.

[0116] The terms "subject," "individual," and "patient" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a vertebrate, preferably a mammal such as a human. Mammals include, but are not limited to, murines, simians, humans, farm animals, sport animals, and pets. Tissues, cells and their progeny of a biological entity obtained in vivo or cultured in vitro are also encompassed.

[0117] The terms "treatment" and "treating," as used herein, refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to a therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. For example, a treatment can comprise administering a system or cell population disclosed herein. By therapeutic benefit is meant any therapeutically relevant improvement in or effect on one or more conditions (e.g., diseases or symptoms) under treatment. For prophylactic benefit, a composition can be administered to a subject at risk of developing a particular condition, or to a subject reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though the condition may not have yet been manifested.

Overview

[0118] CARs can comprise an extracellular antigen recognition region, for example, a scFv (single-chain variable fragment), a transmembrane region, and an intracellular costimulatory signal region. The extracellular domain of CARs can recognize a specific antigen and then transduce the signal through the intracellular domain, causing T cell activation and proliferation, cytolysis toxicity, and secretion of cytokines, thereby eliminating target cells. The patient's autologous T cells (or heterologous donors) can be first isolated, activated and genetically engineered to produce CAR-T cells, which can be then injected into the same patient. In this way, the probability of graft-versus-host disease may be reduced, and the antigen can be recognized by T cells in a non-MHC-restricted manner. In addition, a CAR-T can treat all cancers that express the antigen.

[0119] The present disclosure provides compositions and methods to engineer a cell, e.g., an immune cell, such that it can target both disease-associated antigen (e.g., tumor-associated antigen or tumor cell marker) and immune cell antigen (e.g., CD3, CD7 or CD137) through bispecific or multivalent CAR(s). For example, the present disclosure provides an engineered immune cell that can target a tumor cell marker and an immune cell antigen such as CD3. The endogenous TCR can be inactivated (e.g., disrupted, inhibited, knocked out or silenced). The CAR-T of the present disclosure which targets the tumor cell marker and the immune cell antigen can eliminate positive tumor cells and clear host immune cell antigen positive T and NK cells, thereby avoiding host rejection (HVG). In the present disclosure, the endogenous TCR of the engineered immune cell can be knocked out, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can be prevented, thereby preparing a general-purpose or universal CAR-T (UCAR-T) cell. The engineered immune cell can be derived from an autologous T cell or an allogeneic T cell.

[0120] Moreover, the engineered immune cell can comprise a cell suicide element (e.g., inducible cell death moiety), and the CAR-T can be inactivated/cleared at any time to reduce side effects. In some cases, the engineered immune cell can further comprise an enhancer moiety. The enhancer moiety can regulate one or more activities of the engineered immune cell when the engineered immune cell is administered to a subject. For example, the enhancer moiety can be a cytokine (e.g., IL-5 or IL-7) or a cytokine receptor (e.g., IL-5R or IL-7R). The enhancer moiety can enhance a signaling pathway within the engineered immune cell, for example, STAT5 signaling pathway. In some embodiments, the engineered immune cell comprises a bispecific CAR targeting both CD19 and CD3. The engineered immune cell show in this example can further comprise an inducible cell death moiety such as a truncated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFRt or tEGFR, which can be used interchangeably herein; see U.S. Pat. No. 9,447,194B2 and PCT Publication No. WO2018038945).

[0121] The inducible cell death moiety or the enhancer moiety can be introduced in the immune cell via a separate expression vector. In some cases, the inducible cell death moiety and the enhancer moiety may be introduced into the immune cell via an expression vector comprising sequences encoding both moieties. In some cases, the inducible cell death moiety and the enhancer moiety are linked and are expressed as a chimeric polypeptide.

[0122] The application of the engineered immune cells provided herein in cell therapy can treat the disease (e.g., cancer) of a patient, be prepared in large-scale in advance to avoid GVHD and HvG, reduce treatment costs, inactivate CAR-T at any time if necessary, reduce side effects of immunotherapy, and ensure product safety. The engineered cells provided herein can be referred to as universal CAR T cells (UCAR-T cells).

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)

[0123] The cell (e.g., immune cell or engineered immune cell) provided herein can comprise one or more CARs. The CAR can include an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain. The extracellular domain can include a target-specific binding element (also known as an antigen binding domain). The intracellular domain can include a costimulatory signaling region and a zeta (.zeta.) chain portion. A costimulatory signaling region refers to a portion of the CAR comprising the intracellular domain of a costimulatory molecule. Costimulatory molecules are cell surface molecules other than antigens receptors or their ligands that may be needed for an efficient response of lymphocytes to antigen. Between the extracellular domain and the transmembrane domain of the CAR, or between the cytoplasmic domain and the transmembrane domain of the CAR, there may be incorporated a spacer domain. As used herein, the term "spacer domain" generally means any oligo- or polypeptide that functions to link the transmembrane domain to, either the extracellular domain or, the cytoplasmic domain in the polypeptide chain. A spacer domain may comprise up to 300 amino acids, preferably 10 to 100 amino acids and most preferably 25 to 50 amino acids.

[0124] With respect to the transmembrane domain, the CAR can be designed to comprise a transmembrane domain that is fused to the extracellular domain of the CAR. In one embodiment, the transmembrane domain that naturally is associated with one of the domains in the CAR is used. In some instances, the transmembrane domain can be selected or modified by amino acid substitution to avoid binding of such domains to the transmembrane domains of the same or different surface membrane proteins to minimize interactions with other members of the receptor complex.

[0125] The transmembrane domain may be derived either from a natural or from a synthetic source. Where the source is natural, the domain may be derived from any membrane-bound or transmembrane protein. Transmembrane regions of particular use in the present disclosure may be derived from (e.g., comprise at least the transmembrane region(s) of) the alpha, beta or zeta chain of the T-cell receptor, CD28, CD3 epsilon, CD45, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD33, CD3.gamma., CD64, CD80, CD86, CD134, CD137, CD154, or from an immunoglobulin such as IgG4. Alternatively the transmembrane domain may be synthetic, in which case it will comprise predominantly hydrophobic residues such as leucine and valine. Preferably a triplet of phenylalanine, tryptophan and valine will be found at each end of a synthetic transmembrane domain. Optionally, a short oligo- or polypeptide linker, preferably between 2 and 10 amino acids in length may form the linkage between the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic signaling domain of the CAR. A glycine-serine doublet provides a particularly suitable linker.

[0126] The cytoplasmic domain or otherwise the intracellular signaling domain of the CAR of the present disclosure can be responsible for activation of at least one of the normal effector functions of the immune cell in which the CAR has been placed in. The term "effector function" refers to a specialized function of a cell. Effector function of a T cell, for example, may be cytolytic activity or helper activity including the secretion of cytokines. Thus the term "intracellular signaling domain" refers to the portion of a protein which transduces the effector function signal and directs the cell to perform a specialized function. While usually the entire intracellular signaling domain can be employed, in many cases it is not necessary to use the entire chain. To the extent that a truncated portion of the intracellular signaling domain is used, such truncated portion may be used in place of the intact chain as long as it transduces the effector function signal. The term intracellular signaling domain is thus meant to include any truncated portion of the intracellular signaling domain sufficient to transduce the effector function signal.

[0127] Examples of intracellular signaling domains for use in the CAR of the present disclosure include the cytoplasmic sequences of the TCR and co-receptors that act in concert to initiate signal transduction following antigen receptor engagement, as well as any derivative or variant of these sequences and any synthetic sequence that has the same functional capability.

[0128] Signals generated through the TCR alone may be insufficient for full activation of the T cell and that a secondary or co-stimulatory signal may be included. Thus, T cell activation can be said to be mediated by two distinct classes of cytoplasmic signaling sequence: those that initiate antigen-dependent primary activation through the TCR (primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences) and those that act in an antigen-independent manner to provide a secondary or co-stimulatory signal (secondary cytoplasmic signaling sequences).

[0129] Primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences can regulate primary activation of the TCR complex either in a stimulatory way, or in an inhibitory way. Primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences that act in a stimulatory manner may contain signaling motifs which are known as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs or ITAMs. Examples of ITAM containing primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences that are of particular use in the present disclosure include those derived from TCR zeta, FcR gamma, FcR beta, CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon, CD5, CD22, CD79a, CD79b, and CD66d. It is particularly preferred that cytoplasmic signaling molecule in the CAR of the present disclosure comprises a cytoplasmic signaling sequence derived from CD3-zeta.

[0130] In some embodiments, the cytoplasmic domain of the CAR can be designed to comprise the CD3-zeta signaling domain by itself or combined with any other desired cytoplasmic domain(s) useful in the context of the CAR of the present disclosure. For example, the cytoplasmic domain of the CAR can comprise a CD3 zeta chain portion and a costimulatory signaling region. The costimulatory signaling region refers to a portion of the CAR comprising the intracellular domain of a costimulatory molecule. A costimulatory molecule is a cell surface molecule other than an antigen receptor or its ligands that may be needed for an efficient response of lymphocytes to an antigen. Examples of such molecules include CD27, CD28, 4-1BB (CD137), OX40, CD30, CD40, PD-1, ICOS, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), CD2, CD7, LIGHT, NKG2C, B7-H3, and a ligand that specifically binds with CD83, and the like. Thus, while the present disclosure is, in some cases, exemplified with 4-1BB as the co-stimulatory signaling element, other costimulatory elements are within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0131] The cytoplasmic signaling sequences within the cytoplasmic signaling portion of the CAR of the present disclosure may be linked to each other in a random or specified order. Optionally, a short oligo- or polypeptide linker, preferably between 2 and 10 amino acids in length may form the linkage. A glycine-serine doublet provides a particularly suitable linker.

[0132] In some embodiments, the cytoplasmic domain is designed to comprise the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of CD28. In another embodiment, the cytoplasmic domain is designed to comprise the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of 4-1BB. In yet another embodiment, the cytoplasmic domain is designed to comprise the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of CD28 and 4-1BB.

[0133] A CAR provided herein can comprise one or more antigen binding domains. In some cases, a CAR provided herein comprises an antigen binding domain that can target both an immune cell antigen (e.g., to inhibit killing activity of a T cell or NK cell) and a disease-associated antigen (e.g., a tumor-associated antigen). For example, an antigen binding domain targeting both immune cell antigens and cancer antigens include, but not limited to, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD30, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD69, CD100, CD122, CD132, CD137, CD161, CD159a, CD159c, CD279, CD314, CD319 (CS1) and TCR.

[0134] In some cases, a CAR provided herein comprises two antigen binding domains such that one individual CAR is a bispecific CAR, targeting two different antigens. For bispecific CAR, one antigen binding domain can target immune cell antigen, and the other antigen binding domain can target disease-associated antigen. The two antigen binding domains of a bispecific CAR can have a tandem structure, a parallel structure or a loop structure.

[0135] For example, a CAR can target a tumor cell marker and CD3. The CAR can have a structure as formula I. L-scFv1-I-scFv2-H-TM-C-CD3 (I), wherein each "-" is independently a linker peptide or a peptide bond; L is optionally a signaling peptide sequence; I is a flexible linker; H is optionally a hinge region; TM is a transmembrane domain; C is a costimulatory domain; CD3.zeta. is a cytoplasmic signaling sequence derived from CD3.zeta.; one of scFv1 and scFv2 is an antigen binding domain targeting a tumor cell marker, and the other one is an antigen binding domain targeting CD3. The CAR can have a structure as formula II or II': L-VL-scFv-VH-H-TM-C-CD3.zeta. (II), L-VH-scFv-VL-H-TM-C-CD3.zeta. ((II'), wherein each "-" is independently a linker peptide or a peptide bond; the elements L, H, TM, C and CD3.zeta. as described above; scFv is an antigen binding domain targeting a tumor cell marker, VH is an anti-CD3 antibody heavy chain variable region, and VL is an anti-CD3 antibody light chain variable region; or scFv is an antigen binding domain targeting CD-3, VH is an anti-tumor cell marker antibody heavy chain variable region, and VL is an anti-tumor cell marker antibody light chain variable region.

[0136] In some cases, a CAR can comprise the structure of EGFRt-CD3 scFv-CD19 scFv-Hinge-TM-CD28/41BB-CD33, wherein EGFRt is a truncated EGFR, as a safety switch (e.g., inducible cell death moiety), CD3 scFv is the svFCv fragment of the heavy and light chain variable regions of the monoclonal antibody OKT3 or UCHT1 linked by a GS linker, and the CD19 scFv fragment is the heavy and light chain variable region of the monoclonal FMC63 antibody linked by a GS linker. The structure of the CAR can further comprise a hinge, transmembrane regions, costimulatory signaling region of CD28 or 41BB, and/or CD3 (intracellular domain. In the present disclosure, the nucleic acid construct of EGFRt-CD3 scFv-CD19 scFv-Hinge-TM-CD28/41BB-CD3.zeta. can be inserted into a vector (e.g., a lentiviral vector). The vector can be packaged in 293T cells. T cells can be sorted from PBMC, and after activation, TCR and PD-1 genes can be knocked out by CRISPR/CAS technology. T cells can then be infected with the vectors to express the CARs. The prepared CAR-T cells can be used to detect the infection efficiency and gene editing efficiency of CAR by flowcytometry.

[0137] The immune cell marker, e.g., CD3, of the above examples can be replaced with other immune cell markers such as CD7 and CD137.

[0138] In some cases, a CAR comprising two antigen binding domains arranged in a tandem form. In some embodiments, the first antigen binding domain and the second antigen binding domain is arranged, from amino terminus to carboxyl terminus, as: (i) VL2-VH2-VL1-VH1; (ii) VL2-VH2-VH1-VL1; (iii) VL1-VH1-VL2-VH2; (iv) VL1-VH1-VH2-VL2; (v) VH2-VL2-VL1-VH1; (vi) VH2-VL2-VH1-VL1; (vii) VH1-VL1-VL2-VH2; or (viii) VH1-VL1-VH2-VL2, wherein VH1 is heavy chain variable domain of the first antigen binding domain, VL1 is light chain variable light domain of the first antigen binding domain, VH2 is heavy chain variable domain of the second antigen binding domain, and VL2 is light chain variable domain of the second antigen binding domain. For example, the CAR can have a structure represented by the following formula IV or IV': L3-scFv1-R-scFv2-H3-TM3-C3-CD3 (IV); L3-scFv2-R-scFv1-H3-TM3-C3-CD3.zeta. ((IV'), wherein each "-" is independently a linker peptide or peptide bond; L3 is an optional signal peptide sequence; scFv1 is an antigen binding domain that targets tumor cell markers; R is a rigid or flexible joint; scFv2 is an antigen binding domain (e.g., an antibody single-chain variable region sequence) that targets T cell and NK cell consensus markers; H3 is an optional hinge region; TM3 is a transmembrane domain; C3 is a costimulatory domain; CD3.zeta. is a cytoplasmic signaling sequence derived from CD3.zeta..

[0139] In some cases, a CAR comprising two antigen binding domains arranged in a loop form. In some cases, the first antigen binding domain and the second antigen binding domain is arranged, from amino terminus to carboxyl terminus, as: (i) VL2-VH1-VL1-VH2; (ii) VH2-VL1-VH1-VL2; (iii) VL1-VH2-VL2-VH1; (iv) VH1-VL2-VH2-VL1; (v) VL2-VL1-VH1-VH2; (vi) VH2-VH1-VL1-VL2; (vii) VL1-VL2-VH2-VH1; or (viii) VH1-VH2-VL2-VL1, wherein VH1 is heavy chain variable domain of the first antigen binding domain, VL1 is light chain variable light domain of the first antigen binding domain, VH2 is heavy chain variable domain of the second antigen binding domain, and VL2 is light chain variable domain of the second antigen binding domain. For example, the CAR can have the following formula VI, VI', VI'' or VI''' structure: L8-VL1-VH2-I-VL2-VH1-H8-TM8-C8-CD3 (VI); L8-VH1-VL2-I-VH2-VL1-H8-TM8-C8-CD3.zeta. ((VI'); L8-VL2-VH1-I-VL1-VH2-H8-TM8-C8-CD3 (VI''); L8-VH2-VL1-I-VH1-VL2-H8-TM8-C8-CD3.zeta. (VI'''), wherein each "-" is independently a linker peptide or peptide bond; L8 is an optional signal peptide sequence; VH1 is an anti-tumor cell marker antibody heavy chain variable region, and VL1 is an anti-tumor cell marker antibody light chain variable region; VH2 is an anti-T cell and NK cell consensus marker (such as CD7 or CD2) antibody heavy chain variable region; and VL2 is an anti-T cell and NK cell consensus marker (such as CD7 or CD2) antibody light chain variable region; I is a flexible joint; H8 is an optional hinge region; TM8 is a transmembrane domain; C8 is a costimulatory domain; CD3.zeta. is a cytoplasmic signaling sequence derived from CD3.zeta..

[0140] In some cases, a CAR comprising two antigen binding domains are arranged in a parallel form. The parallel form can comprise a full construct of a first CAR having a first antigen binding domain linked to a full construct of a second CAR having a second antigen binding domain. An example of parallel form can be tEGFR-CD19 scFv-CD28-CD3.zeta.-CD3 scFv-41BB-CD3.zeta.. The tEGFR shown here can function as a safety switch, which can be replaced by other safety switches as described in the present disclosure. As described herein, CD19 scFv and CD3 scFv are two examples of antigen binding domains, which may be replaced with various antigen binding domains as described in the present disclosure. CD28 can be an example of transmembrane domain and can be replaced with other transmembrane domains described herein. 41BB can be an example of co-stimulatory domain and can be replaced with other co-stimulatory domains described herein. In some cases, a linker is used to link the first CAR and the second CAR. The linker can be a cleavable linker. The cleavable linker can be self-cleaving peptide such as 2A self-cleaving peptide.

[0141] Also contemplated in the present disclosure is a nucleic acid molecule encoding a CAR or a bispecific CAR. The nucleic acid can comprise a first sequence encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), wherein the CAR can comprise a binding moiety, which binding moiety comprises (i) a first antigen binding domain, which first antigen binding domain suppresses or reduces a subject's immune response toward the engineered immune cell when administered into the subject linked to (ii) a second antigen binding domain capable of binding to a disease-associated antigen, and wherein each CAR of the one or more CARs can further comprise a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain. The first antigen binding domain can target an immune cell antigen selected from the group consisting of CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD16a, CD16b, CD25, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD57, CD62L, CD69, CD94, CD100, CD102, CD122, CD127, CD132, CD137, CD160, CD161, CD178, CD218, CD226, CD244, CD159a (NKG2A), CD159c (NKG2C), NKG2E, CD279, CD314 (NKG2D), CD305, CD335 (NKP46), CD337, CD319 (CS1), TCR.alpha., TCR.beta. and SLAMF7.

[0145] Also contemplated in the present disclosure is a kit comprising the nucleic acid molecule described herein.

[0146] In some cases, the nucleic acid encoding the CAR described herein can be delivered into an immune cell for expression of the CAR to generate an engineered cell.

Source Cell

[0147] The present disclosure provides an engineered cell, such as an engineered immune cell. The engineered immune cell can be prepared from a cell (e.g., an immune cell) isolated from a sample obtained from a subject. The engineered immune cell can be prepared from a cell line cell. The immune cell used to prepare the engineered immune cell can be a T cell, a B cell, a natural killer (NK) cell or a macrophage. The immune cell used to prepare the engineered immune cell can be an innate lymphocyte (ILC).

[0148] The immune cell used to prepare the engineered immune cell can be a stem cell. The stem cell can be a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) or an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC).

[0149] The immune cell may comprise a T-cell receptor (TCR). The TCR can be endogenous TCR of the immune cell. In some cases, the endogenous TCR can be inactivated. For example, a gene encoding a subunit of the TCR can be inactivated. For example, the immune cell can be an alpha beta T cells with impaired TCRs such that the immune cells can avoid GVHD. For another example, the function of the endogenous TCR can be inhibited by an inhibitor such as TCR-derived peptides, peptides derived from amino acid sequences of fusion and other protein regions of various viruses, antibodies and small molecule inhibitors. The viruses from which the TCR inhibiting peptides can be derived from include, but are not limited to, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), herpesvirus saimiri (HVS), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), Lassa virus (LASV), lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), Mopeia virus (MOPV), Tacaribe virus (TACV), Friend murine leukemia virus (MLV); human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1); herpesvirus ateles (HVA); Marburg virus (MARV); Sudan Ebola virus (SEBOV); and Zaire Ebola virus (ZEBOV).

[0150] In some cases, the immune cells can be T cells containing TCRs that may not cause GVHD responses. For example, the immune cell can be an alpha beta T cell with TCRs that can recognize specific antigens such as viral specific antigen, tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) or tumor-specific antigens (TSAs). For another example, the immune cell can be a gamma delta T cell or a natural killer T (NKT) cell. For another example, the immune cell can be induced pluripotent stem cells produced from antigen-specific T cells (e.g., antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells). The immune cell can be cord-blood T cells.

[0151] The immune cell may comprise a cell surface marker. The cell surface marker can be an immune cell antigen. The gene encoding the immune cell antigen of the immune cell used for preparing the engineered immune cell can be inactivated. Examples of immune cell antigens include, but are not limited to, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD16a, CD16b, CD25, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD57, CD62L, CD69, CD94, CD100, CD102, CD122, CD127, CD132, CD137, CD160, CD161, CD178, CD218, CD226, CD244, CD159a (NKG2A), CD159c (NKG2C), NKG2E, CD279, CD314 (NKG2D), CD305, CD335 (NKP46), CD337, CD319 (CS1), TCR.alpha., TCR.beta. and SLAMF7. For example, in some cases, the gene encoding CD7 of the immune cell is inactivated. In some cases, the gene encoding CD3 of the immune cell is inactivated. In some cases, the gene encoding CD137 of the immune cell is inactivated.

[0152] The immune cells can be isolated from a sample from a subject. The subject can be a healthy donor. The subject can have a condition (e.g., a disease such as cancer). The sample can be a bodily fluid or a tissue, including but not limited to, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, bone marrow, lymph node tissue, cord blood, thymus tissue, tissue from a site of infection, ascites, pleural effusion, spleen tissue, and tumors. In some cases, a sample comprises NK cells, NKT cells, T-cells or T-cell progenitor cells. For example, in some cases, the sample is an umbilical cord blood sample, a peripheral blood sample (e.g., a mononuclear cell fraction) or a sample from the subject comprising pluripotent cells. In some aspects, a sample from the subject can be cultured to generate induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and these cells used to produce NK cells, NKT cells or T-cells. Cell samples may be cultured directly from the subject or may be cryopreserved prior to use. In some aspects, obtaining a cell sample comprises collecting a cell sample. In other aspects, the sample is obtained by a third party. In still further aspects, a sample from a subject can be treated to purify or enrich the T-cells or T-cell progenitors in the sample. For example, the sample can be subjected to gradient purification, cell culture selection and/or cell sorting (e.g., via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)).

[0153] The immune cell can be an NK cell. The NK cells can be obtained from peripheral blood, cord-blood, or other sources described herein. The NK cells can be derived from induced pluripotent stem cells.

In some embodiments, a cell utilized in a method provided herein can be a CD3+ cell, CD3- cell, a CD5+ cell, CD5- cell, a CD7+ cell, CD7- cell, a CD14+ cell, CD14- cell, CD8+ cell, a CD8- cell, a CD103+ cell, CD103- cell, CD11b+ cell, CD11b- cell, a BDCA1+ cell, a BDCA1- cell, an L-selectin+ cell, an L-selectin- cell, a CD25+, a CD25- cell, a CD27+, a CD27- cell, a CD28+ cell, CD28- cell, a CD44+ cell, a CD44- cell, a CD56+ cell, a CD56- cell, a CD57+ cell, a CD57- cell, a CD62L+ cell, a CD62L- cell, a CD69+ cell, a CD69- cell, a CD45RO+ cell, a CD45RO- cell, a CD127+ cell, a CD127- cell, a CD132+ cell, a CD132- cell, an IL-7+ cell, an IL-7- cell, an IL-15+ cell, an IL-15- cell, a lectin-like receptor G1 positive cell, a lectin-like receptor G1 negative cell, or an differentiated or de-differentiated cell thereof. The examples of factors expressed by cells is not intended to be limiting, and a person having skill in the art will appreciate that a cell may be positive or negative for any factor known in the art. In some embodiments, a cell may be positive for two or more factors. For example, a cell may be CD4+ and CD8+. In some embodiments, a cell may be negative for two or more factors. For example, a cell may be CD25-, CD44-, and CD69-. In some embodiments, a cell may be positive for one or more factors, and negative for one or more factors. For example, a cell may be CD4+ and CD8-. In some aspects, a cellular marker provided herein can be utilized to select, enrich, or deplete a population of cells. In some aspects, enriching comprises selecting a monocyte fraction. In some aspects, enriching comprises sorting a population of immune cells from a monocyte fraction. In some embodiments, the cells may be selected for having or not having one or more given factors (e.g., cells may be separated based on the presence or absence of one or more factors). In some embodiments, the selected cells can also be transduced and/or expanded in vitro. The selected cells can be expanded in vitro prior to infusion. In some embodiments, selected cells can be transduced with a vector provided herein. It should be understood that cells used in any of the methods disclosed herein may be a mixture (e.g., two or more different cells) of any of the cells disclosed herein. For example, a method of the present disclosure may comprise cells, and the cells are a mixture of CD4+ cells and CD8+ cells. In another example, a method of the present disclosure may comprise cells, and the cells are a mixture of CD4+ cells and naive cells. In some cases, a cell can be a stem memory TSCM cell comprised of CD45RO (-), CCR7(+), CD45RA (+), CD62L+(L-selectin), CD27+, CD28+ and IL-7Ra+, stem memory cells can also express CD95, IL-2RP, CXCR3, and LFA-1, and show numerous functional attributes distinctive of stem memory cells. Cells provided herein can also be central memory TCM cells comprising L-selectin and CCR7, where the central memory cells can secrete, for example, IL-2, but not IFN.gamma. or IL-4. Cells can also be effector memory TEM cells comprising L-selectin or CCR7 and produce, for example, effector cytokines such as IFN.gamma. and IL-4. In some cases, a population of cells can be introduced to a subject. For example, a population of cells can be a combination of T cells and NK cells. In other cases, a population can be a combination of naive cells and effector cells. A population of cells can be TILs.

[0155] The source immune cells can be T cells. The T cells can be alpha beta T cells or gamma delta T cells. T cells can be obtained from a number of sources, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells, bone marrow, lymph node tissue, cord blood, thymus tissue, tissue from a site of infection, ascites, pleural effusion, spleen tissue, and tumors. In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, various T cell lines may be used. In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, T cells can be obtained from a unit of blood collected from a subject using any number of techniques known to the skilled artisan, such as Ficoll.TM. separation. In some embodiments, cells from the circulating blood of an individual are obtained by apheresis. The apheresis product typically contains lymphocytes, including T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, B cells, other nucleated white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. In some embodiments, the cells collected by apheresis may be washed to remove the plasma fraction and to place the cells in an appropriate buffer or media for subsequent processing steps. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cells are washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In an alternative embodiment, the wash solution lacks calcium and may lack magnesium or may lack many if not all divalent cations. Initial activation steps in the absence of calcium may lead to magnified activation. A washing step may be accomplished by methods such as by using a semi-automated "flow-through" centrifuge (for example, the Cobe 2991 cell processor, the Baxter CytoMate, or the Haemonetics Cell Saver 5) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After washing, the cells may be resuspended in a variety of biocompatible buffers, such as, for example, Ca2+-free, Mg2+-free PBS, PlasmaLyte A, or other saline solution with or without buffer. Alternatively, the undesirable components of the apheresis sample may be removed and the cells directly resuspended in culture media.

[0156] In another embodiment, T cells are isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes by lysing the red blood cells and depleting the monocytes, for example, by centrifugation through a PERCOLL.TM. gradient or by counterflow centrifugal elutriation. A specific subpopulation of T cells, such as CD3+, CD28+, CD4+, CD8+, CD45RA+, and CD45RO+ T cells, can be further isolated by positive or negative selection techniques. For example, in one embodiment, T cells are isolated by incubation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 (i.e., 3.times.28)-conjugated beads, such as DYNABEADS.RTM. M-450 CD3/CD28 T, for a time period sufficient for positive selection of the desired T cells. In one embodiment, the time period is about 30 minutes. In a further embodiment, the time period ranges from 30 minutes to 36 hours or longer and all integer values there between. In a further embodiment, the time period is at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours. In yet another preferred embodiment, the time period is 10 to 24 hours. In some embodiments, the incubation time period is 24 hours. For isolation of T cells from patients with leukemia, use of longer incubation times, such as 24 hours, can increase cell yield. Longer incubation times may be used to isolate T cells in any situation where there are few T cells as compared to other cell types. Further, use of longer incubation times can increase the efficiency of capture of CD8+ T cells. Thus, by simply shortening or lengthening the time T cells are allowed to bind to the CD3/CD28 beads and/or by increasing or decreasing the ratio of beads to T cells (as described further herein), subpopulations of T cells can be preferentially selected for or against at culture initiation or at other time points during the process. Additionally, by increasing or decreasing the ratio of anti-CD3 and/or anti-CD28 antibodies on the beads or other surface, subpopulations of T cells can be preferentially selected for or against at culture initiation or at other desired time points. In some cases, multiple rounds of selection can also be used. In certain embodiments, it may be useful to perform the selection procedure and use the "unselected" cells in the activation and expansion process. "Unselected" cells can also be subjected to further rounds of selection.

[0157] Enrichment of a T cell population by negative selection can be accomplished with a combination of antibodies directed to surface markers unique to the negatively selected cells. An example method can be cell sorting and/or selection via negative magnetic immunoadherence or flow cytometry that uses a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies directed to cell surface markers present on the cells negatively selected. For example, to enrich for CD4+ cells by negative selection, a monoclonal antibody cocktail typically includes antibodies to CD14, CD20, CD11b, CD16, HLA-DR, and CD8. In certain embodiments, it may be desirable to enrich for or positively select for regulatory T cells which typically express CD4+, CD25+, CD62Lhi, GITR+, and FoxP3+. Alternatively, in certain embodiments, T regulatory cells are depleted by anti-C25 conjugated beads or other similar method of selection.

[0158] For isolation of a desired population of cells by positive or negative selection, the concentration of cells and surface (e.g., particles such as beads) can be varied. In certain embodiments, it may be desirable to significantly decrease the volume in which beads and cells are mixed together (i.e., increase the concentration of cells), to ensure maximum contact of cells and beads. For example, in one embodiment, a concentration of 2 billion cells/ml is used. In one embodiment, a concentration of 1 billion cells/ml is used. In a further embodiment, greater than 100 million cells/ml is used. In a further embodiment, a concentration of cells of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 million cells/ml is used. In yet another embodiment, a concentration of cells from 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 million cells/ml is used. In further embodiments, concentrations of 125 or 150 million cells/ml can be used. Using high concentrations can result in increased cell yield, cell activation, and cell expansion. Further, use of high cell concentrations allows more efficient capture of cells that may weakly express target antigens of interest, such as CD28-negative T cells, or from samples where there are many tumor cells present (i.e., leukemic blood, tumor tissue, etc.). Such populations of cells may have therapeutic value and would be desirable to obtain. For example, using high concentration of cells allows more efficient selection of CD8+ T cells that normally have weaker CD28 expression.

[0159] In a related embodiment, lower concentrations of cells may be used. By significantly diluting the mixture of T cells and surface (e.g., particles such as beads), interactions between the particles and cells is minimized. This method can select for cells that express high amounts of desired antigens to be bound to the particles. For example, CD4+ T cells express higher levels of CD28 and are more efficiently captured than CD8+ T cells in dilute concentrations. In some embodiments, the concentration of cells used is 5.times.10.sup.6/ml. In other embodiments, the concentration used can be from about 1.times.10.sup.5/ml to 1.times.10.sup.6/ml, and any integer value in between. In other embodiments, the cells may be incubated on a rotator for varying lengths of time at varying speeds at either 2-10.degree. C. or at room temperature.

[0160] T cells for stimulation can also be frozen after a washing step. Wishing not to be bound by theory, the freeze and subsequent thaw step provides a more uniform product by removing granulocytes and to some extent monocytes in the cell population. After the washing step that removes plasma and platelets, the cells may be suspended in a freezing solution. While many freezing solutions and parameters are known in the art and will be useful in this context, one method involves using PBS containing 20% DMSO and 8% human serum albumin, or culture media containing 10% Dextran 40 and 5% Dextrose, 20% Human Serum Albumin and 7.5% DMSO, or 31.25% Plasmalyte-A, 31.25% Dextrose 5%, 0.45% NaCl, 10% Dextran 40 and 5% Dextrose, 20% Human Serum Albumin, and 7.5% DMSO or other suitable cell freezing media containing for example, Hespan and PlasmaLyte A, the cells then are frozen to -80.degree. C. at a rate of 1.degree. per minute and stored in the vapor phase of a liquid nitrogen storage tank. Other methods of controlled freezing may be used as well as uncontrolled freezing immediately at -20.degree. C. or in liquid nitrogen.

[0161] In some embodiments, cryopreserved cells are thawed and washed as described herein and allowed to rest for one hour at room temperature prior to activation using the methods of the present disclosure.

[0162] In some embodiments, the cells are isolated from a blood sample or an apheresis from a subject prior to any number of relevant treatment modalities, including but not limited to treatment with agents such as natalizumab, efalizumab, antiviral agents, chemotherapy, radiation, immunosuppressive agents, such as cyclosporin, azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, and FK506, antibodies, or other immunoablative agents such as CAMPATH, anti-CD3 antibodies, cytoxan, fludarabine, cyclosporin, FK506, rapamycin, mycophenolic acid, steroids, FR901228, and irradiation. These drugs inhibit either the calcium dependent phosphatase calcineurin (cyclosporine and FK506) or inhibit the p70S6 kinase that is important for growth factor induced signaling (rapamycin) (Liu et al., Cell 66:807-815, 1991; Henderson et al., Immun. 73:316-321, 1991; Bierer et al., Curr. Opin. Immun. 5:763-773, 1993). In a further embodiment, the cells are isolated for a patient and frozen for later use in conjunction with (e.g., before, simultaneously or following) bone marrow or stem cell transplantation, T cell ablative therapy using either chemotherapy agents such as, fludarabine, external-beam radiation therapy (XRT), cyclophosphamide, or antibodies such as OKT3 or CAMPATH. In another embodiment, the cells are isolated prior to and can be frozen for later use for treatment following B-cell ablative therapy such as agents that react with CD20, e.g., Rituxan.

[0163] The engineered immune cell provided herein can exhibit enhanced activity toward tumor cells, but with reduced side effects such as GVHD. The engineered immune cell can target a disease-associated antigen (e.g., tumor-associated antigen, or tumor cell marker) and at the same time suppress host immune cells. One or more endogenous genes (e.g., a gene encoding a subunit of a TCR, or a gene encoding a cell surface marker) of the engineered immune cell can be inactivated. In some cases, the engineered immune cell comprises a first CAR and a second CAR, each targeting a different antigen.

In some cases, the engineered immune cell can be characterized by exhibiting two or more of (i) enhanced degree of persistence, (ii) enhanced degree of expansion, and (iii) enhanced cytotoxicity. The (i), (ii), and/or (iii) characteristics can be measured in absence of any exogenous enhancer moiety such as exogenous cytokines.

[0165] The engineered immune cell can comprise a multi-specific CAR. In some cases, the engineered immune cell comprises a bispecific CAR targeting an immune cell antigen and a disease-associated antigen. The two antigen binding domains of the bispecific CAR can be arranged in any form as described in the present disclosure, for example, parallel form, loop form, and tandem form. For example, an engineered immune cell described herein can comprise comprising a single chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising (i) a first antigen binding domain that specifically binds CD7 and (ii) a second antigen binding domain capable of binding to a disease-associated antigen. The CAR can further comprise a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain.

The one or more intracellular signaling pathways can be one or more cytokine signaling pathways. The enhancer moiety can be self-activating through self-oligomerizing. The enhancer moiety can be self-activating through self-dimerizing.

[0167] The enhancer moiety can be a cytokine or a cytokine receptor. The enhancer moiety can be selected from the group consisting of IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, IL-21, IL-23, PD-1, PD-L1, CD122, CSF1R, CTAL-4, TIM-3, CCL21, CCL19, TGFR beta, receptors for the same, functional fragments thereof, functional variants thereof, and combinations thereof.

[0169] The engineered immune cell can further comprise an inducible cell death moiety, which inducible cell death moiety can effect suicide of the engineered immune cell upon contact with a cell death activator. The inducible cell death moiety can be selected from the group consisting of rapaCasp9, iCasp9, HSV-TK, ACD20, mTMPK, ACD19, RQR8, and EGFRt. In some cases, the inducible cell death moiety is EGFRt, and the cell death activator is an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof that binds EGFRt. In some cases, the inducible cell death moiety is HSV-TK, and the cell death activator is GCV. In some cases, the inducible cell death moiety is iCasp9, and the cell death activator is AP1903. The cell death activator can comprise a nucleic acid, a polynucleotide, an amino acid, a polypeptide, lipid, a carbohydrate, a small molecule, an enzyme, a ribosome, a proteasome, a variant thereof, or any combination thereof.

In some cases, the expression of endogenous HLA-I and/or HLA-II genes of the engineered immune cell may remain intact. The expression of endogenous HLA-E and/or HLA-G and/or HLA-C genes of the engineered immune cell may remain intact.

[0171] The expression of one or more endogenous HLA genes of the engineered immune cell can be upregulated. In some cases, the expressions of endogenous HLA-E and/or HLA-G and/or HLA-C genes of the engineered immune cell are upregulated.

[0172] The expression of one or more endogenous HLA genes of the engineered immune cell may be knocked out or partially knocked out. For example, HLA-I, HLA-II or both can be knocked out. In some cases, HLA-I, HLA-2, or both can be partially knocked out. In some cases, HLA-I/II can be partially knockout. In some cases, an endogenous HLA can be knocked out to reduce T cell killing activity but keep anti-NK killer function. For example, HLA-A/B can be knocked out while keeping HLA-C/E in the engineered immune cell. In some cases, HLA-A, HLA-B, or both is knocked out. In some cases, HLA-C, HLA-E, or both remains intact. In some cases, a killer/phagocyte inhibitor of the engineered immune cell can be overexpressed. In some other cases, an endogenous HLA can be knocked out with co-expression of killer/phagocyte inhibitor(s). For example, HLA-I, HLA-II, or both can be knocked out with co-expression of killer/phagocyte inhibitors. The killer/phagocyte inhibitor may suppress immune response toward the engineered immune cell. The killer/phagocyte inhibitors include, but are not limited to, CD47, CD24, FASL, PDL1, or functional domains thereof.

[0173] The disease-associated antigen described herein can be a tumor-associated antigen or a tumor-specific antigen. The first antigen binding domain or the second antigen binding domain can be an antibody or fragment thereof, for example, a scFv or a single domain antibody.

[0174] A gene encoding an endogenous surface marker of the engineered immune cell can be inactivated, wherein the endogenous surface marker is capable of binding to the first antigen binding domain when expressed. The endogenous surface marker can be the antigen that CAR targets. In various embodiments, when a CAR of the engineered immune cell targets an antigen that is endogenously expressed by the engineered immune cell, the endogenous antigen or the gene encoding such antigen may be inactivated (e.g., disrupted, inhibited, silenced or knocked out). Various gene editing methods described herein can be used. The endogenous surface marker can be, for example, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD16a, CD16b, CD25, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD57, CD62L, CD69, CD94, CD100, CD102, CD122, CD127, CD132, CD137, CD160, CD161, CD178, CD218, CD226, CD244, CD159a (NKG2A), CD159c (NKG2C), NKG2E, CD279, CD314 (NKG2D), CD305, CD335 (NKP46), CD337, CD319 (CS1), TCR.alpha., TCR.beta. and SLAMF7.

In some cases, the enhancer moiety and the inducible moiety may be linked by a linker. The linker can be a cleavable linker, for example, a self-cleaving peptide. The engineered immune cell can further comprise one or more chimeric polypeptide receptors (CPRs) comprising a binding moiety, wherein the binding moiety comprises (i) a first antigen binding domain, which first antigen binding domain suppresses or reduces a subject's immune response toward the engineered immune cell when administered into the subject and (ii) a second antigen binding domain capable of binding to a disease-associated antigen. An individual CPR of the one or more CPRs can comprise (i) the first antigen binding domain, (ii) the second antigen binding domain, or (iii) both the first antigen binding domain and the second antigen binding domain. A CPR of the one or more CPRs can further comprise a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain. In some cases, the one or more CPRs in the engineered immune cell are one or more chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) or engineered T cell receptors (TCRs). In some cases, the engineered immune cells comprise both CARs and engineered TCRs. The engineered TCR can be a TCR fusion protein. For example, the TCR fusion protein can comprise a heterologous antigen binding domain fused to one or more subunits of a TCR complex. In some cases, the TCR fusion protein can comprise a TCR subunit comprising at least a portion of a TCR extracellular domain and a TCR intracellular domain; and an antibody domain comprising an antigen binding domain, where the TCR subunit and the antibody domain are linked. The TCR fusion protein can incorporate into a TCR complex when expressed in a T cell. In some cases, the TCR fusion protein can further comprise a TCR transmembrane domain. The TCR extracellular domain, the TCR intracellular domain, or the TCR transmembrane domain can be derived from TCR alpha chain, TCR beta chain, TCR gamma chain, TCR delta chain, CD3 epsilon, CD3 gamma, CD3 delta or CD3 zeta. In some cases, an endogenous TCR of the engineered immune cell comprising an engineered TCR is inactivated. In some cases, the engineered immune cell comprising inactivated endogenous TCR may not cause GVHD. For example, a gene encoding an endogenous TCR subunit can be inactivated. For another example, a gene encoding an endogenous TCR subunit may be mutated such that an endogenous TCR may not be formed.

[0176] The engineered immune cell provided herein can comprise a chimeric polypeptide comprising (i) an enhancer moiety capable of enhancing one or more activities of the engineered immune cell, and (ii) an inducible cell death moiety capable of effecting death of the engineered immune cell upon contacting the chimeric polypeptide with a cell death activator. In some cases, the enhancer moiety is linked to the inducible cell death moiety. The one or more chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) can comprise a binding moiety. The binding moiety can comprise (i) a first antigen binding domain, which first antigen binding domain suppresses or reduces a subject's immune response toward the engineered immune cell when administered into the subject and (ii) a second antigen binding domain capable of binding to a disease-associated antigen.

The CAR-T cell can target a tumor cell marker and an immune cell marker such as CD2 or CD7. The endogenous TCR expression in the CAR-T cells provided herein can be knocked out by gene editing technology. Upon knocking out the endogenous TCRs of the CAR-T cells, the normal cells may not be recognized and killed by the CAR-T cells during the allogeneic infusion. The GVHD reaction may be inhibited. Moreover, targeting tumor cells through CD19 while eliminating host T cells and/or NK cells through CD2 or CD7 can avoid host versus graft (HVG) and/or NK killing and improve the survival and anti-tumor effect of the allogeneic CAR-T cells in the recipient. The CAR-T can further comprise a suicide gene switch (e.g., an inducible cell death moiety). The CAR-T cells can be inactivated or removed by turning on the suicide gene switch (e.g., binding of an activator to the inducible cell death moiety) to reduce the side effects of the CAR-T cell therapy. For example, a CAR provided herein can have a structure of CD19 scFv-CD7 scFv-Hinge-TM-CD28/41BB-CD3.zeta., wherein the CD7 scFv fragment is a monoclonal 3Ale antibody, the heavy and light chain variable regions are joined by a GS linker, and the CD19 scFV fragment is the heavy and light chain variable region of the monoclonal FMC63 antibody linked by a GS linker.

The "cytokine-related signaling pathway," as used herein, refers to a signaling pathway initiated by the cytokine binding to the corresponding receptor, converting the extracellular signal into an intracellular signal, which is then amplified, dispersed, and regulated by a signal cascade. A series of cellular responses can be produced. In some cases, the cytokine-related signaling pathway comprises a related signaling pathway of a cytokine selected from the group consisting of IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, IL-21, 25 or a combination thereof.

The endogenous surface marker can be CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD16a, CD16b, CD25, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD57, CD62L, CD69, CD94, CD100, CD102, CD122, CD127, CD132, CD137, CD160, CD161, CD178, CD218, CD226, CD244, CD159a (NKG2A), CD159c (NKG2C), NKG2E, CD279, CD314 (NKG2D), CD305, CD335 (NKP46), CD337, CD319 (CS1), TCR.alpha., TCR.beta. or SLAMF7.

Antigen Binding Domain

[0198] The engineered immune cell can comprise a first antigen binding domain and a second antigen binding domain. In some cases, a single or individual CAR of the engineered immune cell comprises both the first antigen binding domain and the second antigen binding domain. In some cases, two CARs of the engineered immune cell comprise the first antigen binding domain and the second antigen binding domain with each CAR contains only one antigen binding domain. In some cases, two engineered immune cells comprise the first antigen binding domain and the second antigen binding domain with each engineered immune cell comprises only one type of antigen binding domain. In some cases, the first antigen binding domain can target an immune cell antigen and the second antigen binding domain can target a disease-associated antigen. The antigen binding domain can be a Fab, F(ab').sub.2, single domain antibody, single chain Fv (scFv), centyrin, darpin, or other polypeptides with antigen binding specificities.

[0199] The antigen binding domain can target an immune cell antigen. Examples of immune cell antigen include, but are not limited to, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD16a, CD16b, CD25, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD57, CD62L, CD69, CD94, CD100, CD102, CD122, CD127, CD132, CD137, CD160, CD161, CD178, CD218, CD226, CD244, CD159a (NKG2A), CD159c (NKG2C), NKG2E, CD279, CD314 (NKG2D), CD305, CD335 (NKP46), CD337, CD319 (CS1), TCR.alpha., TCR.beta. and SLAMF7. In some cases, the immune cell antigen is a cell marker expressed on both T cells and NK cells, including, but not limited to, CD2, CD7, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD69, CD100, CD122, CD132, CD134 (OX40), CD137 (4-1BB), CD178 (ICOS), CD161, CD159a, CD159c and CD314.

[0200] CD3 is a marker present on the surface of T lymphocytes. There are three subtypes, CD 3.delta., CD 3.epsilon. and CD 3.gamma.. CD 3.delta. and CD 3.epsilon. have a molecular weight of 20 kDa, and CD37 has a molecular weight of 26 kDa, which is expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes, thymocytes and NK cell membranes. CD3 can be expressed in 61% to 85% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes and 60% to 85% in thymocytes. It belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD3 is a component of the T-lymphocyte receptor (TCR) complex and forms a complex with the .alpha.-.beta. and .gamma./.delta. T-lymphocyte receptors (TCRs), which can be the main membrane protein for conducting TCR signals upon TCR binding to peptide/MHC. TCR can be essential for cell surface expression, antigen recognition, and signaling. CD3 is a surface-specific molecule of T lymphocytes through which T lymphocytes with killing effects can be recruited. Monoclonal antibodies to CD3 can induce or prevent T lymphocyte activation. Anti-CD3 antibodies induce apoptosis of T lymphocytes in the presence of anti-CD28 antibodies or IL-2. CD3 is one of the markers of mature T lymphocytes in peripheral blood. Determination of CD3+ T lymphocytes for evaluation of immunodeficiency (T lymphocyte deficiency), leukemia, lymphoma (T lymphocyte type) classification diagnosis. Anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies can be used for immunosuppressive therapy in organ transplantation or bone marrow transplantation, and can also be used for immunomodulatory treatment of severe autoimmune diseases to remove T lymphocytes.

[0201] In some cases, the antigen binding domain can target CD7. CD7 is a transmembrane protein and is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD7 proteins are expressed on the surface of mature T cells and NK cells as well as their precursor cells. CD7 can bind to its ligand K12/SECTM1 and function as a co-stimulatory effecter on T cell activation. In mice, CD7 knockout T cell precursors can develop into normal T cells with only a slight effect on T cell effector function. More than 90% of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) can express CD7, and therefore CD7 can be a marker for T-ALL. Moreover, CD7 can also be expressed in NK lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma/leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and lymphocyte-rich thymoma. An example tissue distribution of CD7 expression is shown in FIG. 13.

[0202] In some cases, the antigen binding domain can target CD2. Similar to CD7, CD2 adhesion molecules may expressed on all peripheral blood T cells and natural killer cells, but not on B lymphocytes. The CD2 extracellular domain contains an immunoglobulin-like domain that mediates homodimerization. Binding of CD2 to CD58 (LFA-3) or CD48 can help T cells adhere to antigen presenting cells, triggering signal transduction of T cell receptors for antigen binding. The function of CD2 may be similar to other T cell costimulatory receptors (such as CD28). CD2 knockout mice can have normal immune function. CD2 expression in cells of T-ALL, T-cell lymphoma/leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia (microparticle variant), systemic mastocytosis, mast cell disease, thymoma, and acute myeloid lymphoma and NK cell leukemia. An example tissue distribution of CD2 expression is shown in FIG. 14.

[0203] The antigen binding domain can target CD137. CD137, also known as 4-1BB, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. CD137 protein can be an activation-induced co-stimulatory receptor, which can be widely expressed in activated T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, granulocytes and other immune cell types and certain tumor cells. CD137 expression was found on activated T and NK cells with little expression in naive T cells and inactivated T and NK cells. In T cells, CD137 can initiate NF-.kappa.B pathway through TRAF2 and participate in T cell proliferation, cytokine secretion and anti-apoptosis. In clinical applications, CD137 can be used as a marker for reactive T cells. Activation of CD137 signaling pathway by CD137 natural ligand or agonistic antibody can increase cytokine secretion and antitumor activity of cytotoxic lymphocytes. Inhibition of reactive T cells with specific inhibitory CD137 antibodies can reduce autologous rejection in transplant rejection or reduce GVHD response caused by autoreactive T cells of an allogeneic origin. CD137 expression can be regulated by TCR signaling and downstream signaling of cytokine TL-2/TL-15. Knockout of CD137 molecule may have no effect on the function of mature T cells in a non-activated state. The endogenous CD137 of the engineered immune cell can be knocked out to avoid fratricide. The endogenous TCRs of the engineered immune cell can be inactivated to prevent GVHD. An example tissue distribution of CD137 expression is shown in FIG. 51.

[0204] The antigen binding domain can target a disease-associated antigen, for example, tumor-associated antigen. Examples of the tumor-associated antigens include, but are not limited to, BCMA, VEGFR2, CD19, CD20, CD30, CD22, CD25, CD28, CD30, CD33, CD52, CD56, CD80, CD86, CD81, CD123, cd171, CD276, B7H4, CD133, EGFR, GPC3; PMSA, CD 3, CEACAM6, c-Met, EGFRvIII, ErbB2, ErbB3 HER-2, HER3, ErbB4/HER-4, EphA2, IGF1R, GD2, O-acetyl GD2, O-acetyl GD3, GHRHR, GHR, Flt1, KDR, Flt4, CD44V6, CEA, CA125, CD151, CTLA-4, GITR, BTLA, TGFBR2, TGFBR1, IL6R, gp130, Lewis, TNFR1, TNFR2, PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2, HVEM, MAGE-A, Mesothelin, NY-ESO-1, PSMA, RANK, RORl, TNFRSF4, CD40, CD137, TWEAK-R, LTPR, LIFRP, LRP5, MUC1, TCRa, TCRp, TLR7, TLR9, PTCH1, WT-1, Robl, Frizzled, OX40, CD79b, Claudin 18.2, Folate receptor .alpha., Folate receptor .beta., GPC2, CD70, BAFF-R and Notch-1-4. In some cases, the tumor-associated antigens comprise CD19, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD25, CD28, CD30, CD33, CD38, CD40, CD44V6, CD47, CD52, CD56, CD57, CD58, CD79b, CD80, CD86, CD81, CD123, CD133, CD137, CD151, CD171, CD276, CLL1, B7H4, BCMA, VEGFR-2, EGFR, GPC3, PMSA, CEACAM6, c-Met, EGFRvIII, ErbB2/HER2, ErbB3, HER-2, HER3, ErbB4/HER-4, EphA2, IGF1R, GD2, O-acetyl GD2, O-acetyl GD3, GHRHR, GHR, Flt1, KDR, Flt4, Flt3, CEA, CA125, CTLA-4, GITR, BTLA, TGFBR1, TGFBR2, TGFBR1, IL6R, gp130, Lewis, TNFR1, TNFR2, PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2, PSCA, HVEM, MAGE-A, MSLN, NY-ESO-1, PSMA, RANK, RORl, TNFRSF4, TWEAK-R, LTPR, LIFRP, LRP5, MUC1, MUC16, TCR.alpha., TCRb, TLR7, TLR9, PTCH1, WT-1, Robol, Frizzled, OX40, Notch-1-4, APRIL, CS1, MAGE3, Claudin 18.2, Folate receptor .alpha., Folate receptor .beta., GPC2, CD70, BAFF-R or TROP-2.

[0205] In some cases, the tumor-associated antigen is CD19. CD19 is a 95 kDa glycoprotein on the surface of B cells that begins to express from the early development of B cells until it differentiates into plasma cells. CD19 is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is involved in the regulation of the signal transduction process of B cell receptors as one of the constituent elements of the B cell surface signal transduction complex. In a CD19-deficient mouse model, the number of B cells in peripheral lymphoid tissue can be significantly reduced, and the response to vaccines and mitogens is also reduced, accompanied by a decrease in serum Ig levels. It can be generally believed that the expression of CD19 is restricted to the B-cell lineage and not to the surface of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells. CD19 can also be expressed on the surface of most B cell lymphomas, mantle cell lymphomas, ALLs, CLLs, hairy cell leukemias, and some acute myeloid leukemia cells. CD19 can be a target for immunotherapy in the treatment of leukemia/lymphoma. CD19 may not be expressed on most normal cell surfaces other than B cells, including pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells. This feature can make CD19 a safe therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases because the risk of irreversible bone marrow toxicity damage can be minimized.

Enhancer Moiety

[0207] The engineered immune cell provided herein can comprise an enhancer moiety. The enhancer moiety can regulate one or more activities of the engineered immune cell, for example, enhance or upregulate one or more signaling pathways to enhance or upregulate effector functions of the engineered immune cell. The signaling pathways can be a cytokine-related signaling pathway. The enhancer moiety can be a cytokine. The enhancer moiety can be a cytokine receptor.

[0208] The cytokine-related signaling pathway can comprise a related signaling pathway of a cytokine. Examples of cytokines include, but are not limited to, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, IL-21 and IL25. In some cases, the cytokine-related signaling pathway comprises a related signaling pathway of two or more cytokines, wherein the cytokines include: IL-2 and IL-7, IL-2 and IL-15. IL-7 and IL-15, IL15 and IL21. The cellular response can include regulation of downstream gene expression, changes in intracellular enzyme activity, changes in cellular bone architecture, changes in DNA synthesis, promotion of gene transcription, regulation of immune cell differentiation, proliferation, and resistance to cell death. In some cases, the cytokine-related signaling pathway is enhanced comprising: introducing or up-regulating a gene encoding a cytokine and/or a receptor thereof, exogenously adding a cytokine, being introduced into a cytokine receptor, or a combination thereof. In some cases, up-regulating the gene encoding the cytokine and/or its receptor comprises up-regulating the level of transcription and/or translation of the encoding gene. In some cases, the enhanced cytokine-related signaling pathway can be achieved by one or more of the following methods: expressing a gene encoding the cytokine and/or its receptor in the immune cell, increasing the copy number of the gene encoding the cytokine and/or its receptor in the immune cell, engineering a regulatory sequence (e.g., a promoter) of the encoding gene to enhance transcription speed (e.g., transcriptional initiation rate), modifying a translational regulatory region of a messenger RNA carrying the encoded gene to enhance translational strength, modifying the coding gene itself to enhance mRNA stability, protein stability and to release protein feedback inhibition.

[0209] The cytokine-related signaling pathway can be enhanced by membrane expression of a cytokine and its receptor, secretion of a cytokine, enhancement of transcriptional regulation of a cytokine and/or its receptor, or a combination thereof. The membrane-expressed cytokine and its receptors can include: IL-15 and its receptor (e.g., mbIL15 fusion protein), IL-7 and its receptor (e.g., mbIL7 fusion protein), IL-17 and its receptor (e.g., mbIL17 fusion protein), IL-2 and its receptor (e.g., mbTL2 fusion protein), IL-21 and its receptor (e.g., mbIL21 fusion protein), constitute the activated IL-7 receptor (C7R), or a combination thereof. In some cases, the enhancer moiety comprised in the engineered immune cell is a secretive cytokine. The secretive cytokine can function with various mechanisms, for example, the secretive cytokine can be a trans-activating factor or a cis-activating factor. The secretive cytokines can include IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, IL-21, or a combination thereof. In some cases, the enhancer is a membrane bound protein such as mbIL15, mbIL7, mbIL21 and mbIL2. In some cases, the enhancer moiety is constitutively active cytokine receptor downstream signaling protein such as STAT5 and STAT3. In some cases, the enhancer moiety is a constitutively active cytokine receptor such as constitutively active IL-7 receptor (C7R) or derivatives thereof. For example, the constitutively active cytokine receptor can be an engineered protein (e.g., referred to as "E3" in the present disclosure) where the ecto domain of C7R is replaced by a safety switch, such as EGFRt or truncated form of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2t; see U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20170267742A1) or other peptides described in the present disclosure. For another example, the constitutively active cytokine receptor can be an engineered protein (e.g., referred to as "E4" in the present disclosure) where the ectodomain of C7R is replaced by an immune cell inhibitor, such as CD47, CD24 or other peptides that inhibit killer or phagocytic immune cell function and protect therapeutic cells (e.g., the engineered immune cells described herein). In some cases, the cytokine can be a chemokine such as CCL21 and CCL19. Other non-limiting examples of chemokines that may be used include CCL27, CCL28, CCL20, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL16, CXCL13, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL8, CXCL12, CCL2, CCL8, CCL13, CCL25, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL7, CCL14, CCL15, CCL16, CCL23, CX3CL1, XCL1, XCL2, CCL1, CCL17, CCL22, CCL11, CCL24, CCL26, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3 and CXCL7. In some cases, the enhancer moiety is a ligand of CCR7, which can function to enhance infiltration of T cells, NK cells or dendritic cells. CCR7 ligand includes, but not limited to, CCL21 and CCL19. In some cases, the enhancer moiety comprises co-expression of chemokines CCL21 and CCL19 for therapeutic use to treat lymphomas or other solid tumors.

[0210] In some situations, the engineered immune cell is used as a therapeutic agent to treat liquid tumors, and in such situations, the enhancer moiety can comprise any cytokine in any form as described herein. In some situations, the engineered immune cell is used as a therapeutic agent to treat solid tumors, and in such situations, the enhancer moiety can comprise any cytokine in any form and further comprise one or more chemokines.

[0211] In some cases, two cytokines may be used to enhance the cytokine-related signaling pathway in the engineered immune cell, including IL-2 and IL-7, IL-2 and IL-15, IL-7 and IL-15, and TL15 and IL21. The cytokine-related signaling pathway enhancement can comprise the expression of a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of a mbTL fusion protein, a constitutively active IL-7 receptor (C7R), an interleukin, or a combination thereof.

[0212] The enhancer moiety described herein can be interleukin 15 (IL-15) or IL-15 receptor. IL-15 is a 14-15kDs glycoprotein composed of 114 amino acids and belongs to the family of four helix bundle cytokines. IL-15 is structurally homologous to interleukin 2 (IL-2). IL-15 receptor comprises a high affinity IL-15 receptor alpha chain, an IL2/15 receptor beta chain, and a common gamma chain. Therefore, IL-15 may have some functions similar to IL-2, such as stimulating T cell activation and proliferation, enhancing NK cell killing activity and promoting B cell production of immunoglobulin. Recent studies have found that IL-15 may play a role in the differentiation, proliferation and activation of NK cells, NKT cells and intestinal epithelial cells. IL-15 and IL-17 may play a role in the regulation of CD8+ memory T cells. Studies have also shown that IL-15 can regulate the proliferation of CD8+ memory T cells and the survival cycle of NK cells through a mechanism, in which a cell expressing IL-15a chain receptor can present IL-15 to a cell expressing an IL-150 chain and a common gamma chain. IL-15 may also play a role in the non-immune system, such as regulation of skeletal muscle anabolism. The enhancer moiety described herein can be interleukin 7 (IL-7). IL-7 can promote the growth of pre-B cells, pro-B cells, B cells, and T cells. It can also promote growth and anti-apoptosis of B cells and T cells. IL-7 can play a role in the early differentiation and proliferation of thymus and the development and differentiation of dendritic cells. However, IL-7 may not have an enhanced effect on the killing activity of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. It can first transfer from the thymus to the peripheral blood, then induce thymocytes or peripheral blood lymphocytes to produce lymphokines, activate and enhance lymphokine-activated killer cell activity of LAK cells. CD8+ subpopulation can be the main effector cell of IL-7, and IL-7 Can also support memory CD8+ T cell expansion and survival. IL-7 can promote bone marrow tissue production. IL-7 not only can stimulate myeloid precursor cells and megakaryocytes to produce colony forming units and platelets, but also can restore the body from the immunosuppression of cyclophosphamide. At higher concentrations, it can also induce cytotoxicity that enhances macrophages, function as a synergistic factor for the production of CTL cells, NK cells, and activated monocytes, induce monocyte-macrophages to secrete various cytokines and promote the expression of inflammatory factors such as macrophage inflammatory protein alpha (MIP-alpha), MIP-P, IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and the like. By activating a large number of inflammatory factors produced by inflammatory cells, IL-7 not only can regulate the interaction between the components of the inflammatory process, but also enhance the inflammatory cytokine receptors (CCR) such as CCR1, CCR2 and CCR5. In addition, IL-7 can play a role in inducing immune responses. IL-7 can induce type I immune responses and increase the production of IFN-.gamma. and IL2. IL-7 can synergize with IL12 to induce IFN-.gamma. and T cell proliferation. IL-7 and transforming growth factor beta (TGF.beta.) can play a regulatory role and can be part of the immune regulatory mechanism. IL-7 not only can promote immune reconstitution of T cells, but also can induce up-regulation of T cell cycle and BCL-2 expression, which broadens the diversity and persistence of circulating T cell receptor pools and increases the number of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Moreover, for HIV antigens, expanded T cells can also secrete IL2 and IFN-.gamma., and have good antiviral function. Therefore, IL-7 can reverse the defects of HIV-specific T lymphocytes in proliferation, cytokine secretion and cell function.

[0213] The enhance moiety can regulate (e.g., activate) signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5)-mediated signaling pathway. STAT5 can be widely present in the cytoplasm. When cytokines (e.g., IL2, IL7, IL15 and IL21) bind to the cytokine receptors, the receptor-coupled JAK is activated, thereby phosphorylating the Tyr residue at the C-terminus of the STAT5 protein. The phosphorylated STAT5 can form homologous or heterologous dimers through its SH2 region. The homologous or heterodimer can be transferred to the nucleus and bind to the target gene, thereby regulating the expression of the target gene including the cell regulatory factor and the anti-apoptotic gene. Activation of STAT5 can play a role in maintaining normal cell function and regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, regulating the activity of STAT5 signaling pathway may regulate the survival and persistence of CAR-T cells described herein.

[0214] The enhancer moiety can be introduced into a cell (e.g., an immune cell or an engineered immune cell) by delivering a nucleic acid molecule encoding the enhancer moiety into the cell. The nucleic acid molecule can be a vector. The enhancer moiety can be a part of a fusion construct. A fusion protein or corresponding nucleic acid construct can have a structure as presented by a formula selected from: S-2A-L1-scFv-H-TM-C-CD3.zeta.-2A-L2-IL15-IL15Ra (A); S-2A-L1-scFv-H-TM-C-CD3.zeta.-2A-L2-IL15-IL15Ra-2A-L3-IL7 (B); S-2A-L1-scFv-H-TM-C-CD3.zeta.-2A-L2-C7R (C); S-2A-L1-scFv-H-TM-C-CD3.zeta.-2A-L2-IL7-IL7Ra (D); wherein: each "-" is independently a linker peptide or a peptide bond; S is a safety switch; 2A is an optional self-cleaving peptide; each of L1, L2 and L3 is independently null or a signal peptide sequence; C7R is as described above; scFv is an antigen binding domain; H is null or a hinge region; TM is a transmembrane domain; C is a costimulatory signaling molecule; CD3.zeta. is a cytoplasmic signaling sequence derived from CD3.zeta.; IL15 is interleukin 15, IL15Ra is IL-15 receptor .alpha.; IL7 is interleukin 7, IL7Ra is IL-7 receptor .alpha.; C7R is a constitutively activated IL-7 receptor.

[0215] The enhancer moiety can be part of a chimeric polypeptide. For example, the enhancer moiety can be linked to an inducible cell death moiety. The enhancer moiety can be linked to the inducible cell death moiety by a linker. The linker may not be cleaved. The linker may not comprise a self-cleaving peptide. In some other cases, the enhancer moiety and the inducible cell death moiety can be expressed in a cell from a same nucleic acid molecule and can be cleaved to form two polypeptides.

Inducible Cell Death Moiety

[0216] The engineered immune cell described herein may comprise an inducible cell death moiety, also referred to as "suicide gene switch." "suicide switch," "safety switch," or "cell suicide element." The inducible cell death moiety can be used to effectively remove of the engineered immune cells (e.g., CAR-T cells) in vivo under the action of exogenous factors (e.g., drugs). The inducible cell death moiety described herein may be rapaCasp9, iCasp9, CD20 (and its mimotope), RQR8, Her2t, CD30, BCMA, EGFRt, HSV-TK, mTMPK and the like. iCasp9, CD20 (and its mimotope), RQR8, and HSV-TK may have the same ability to clear T cells, but rapaCasp9, iCasp9, RQR8, and CD20 (and their mimotope) may be faster in comparison with HSV-TK.

[0217] In some cases, an inducible cell death moiety is capable of effecting death of said cell upon contacting said inducible cell death moiety with a cell death activator. The inducible cell death moiety can be, for example, rapaCasp9, iCasp9, HSV-TK, ACD20, mTMPK, ACD19, RQR8, or EGFRt. In some cases, the inducible cell death moiety is EGFRt, and said cell death activator is an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof that binds EGFRt. In some cases, the inducible cell death moiety is HSV-TK, and said cell death activator is GCV. In some cases, the inducible cell death moiety is iCasp9, and said cell death activator is AP1903.

[0218] The inducible cell death moiety can be linked to an enhancer moiety and can be co-expressed in a cell as a chimeric polypeptide as described above.

Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)

[0219] To prepare "off-the-shelf" allogeneic T cells for the treatment of malignant and infectious diseases, cell therapy by infusion of T cells can be designed to re-establish immunity against pathogens and malignancies. The amount of time required to produce the T cells with tumor-targeting properties with a sufficient number of T cells in vitro can be generally incompatible with the patient's therapeutic window. Furthermore, autologous T cells from patients with advanced disease may have impaired function and are tolerant to the desired antigen.

[0220] To address these issues, patients can be administered with allogeneic T cells but need to be prevented from immune-mediated rejection by host T cells by recognizing different major or minor histocompatibility antigens on the infused cells. Infusion of T cells without the expression of TCR alpha and beta chains and HLA-A molecules may not cause GVHD and HVG. Thus the T cells edited with CRISPR/CAS9 to delete TCR alpha chain and HLA-A molecular can serve as a source of universal effector donor cells.

[0221] Although knockdown of Beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M) may prevent donor CAR-T cells from being attacked by the host T cells. The donor CAR-T cells may be attacked by host NK cells and affect the survival of CAR-T cells. Therefore, the present disclosure provides engineered immune cells which target tumor cells and host T cells and/or NK cells. The engineered immune cells described herein can scavenge host T cells and/or NK cells, and enhance the survival, persistence and expansion ability of CAR-T cells, thereby being more effective against tumor cells.

Gene Editing

[0222] Various gene editing methods can be used in the present disclosure to make the engineered immune cells, including CRISPR, RNA interference technology, TALENs (transcription activator-like (TAL) effector nucleases) and Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs).

[0223] In some cases, CRISPR/Cas9 system is used to edit the genes of the immune cells. For example, CRISPR/Cas9 system can be used to knockout endogenous TCRs or cell surface markers (e.g., CD7) of the immune cells to generate the engineered immune cells for T cell therapy. The CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regular interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated) system is a natural immune system unique to prokaryotes that is resistant to viruses or exogenous plasmids. The Type II CRISPR/Cas system has been applied in many eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms as a direct genome-directed genome editing tool. The development of the CRISPR/Cas9 system has revolutionized the ability of people to edit DNA sequences and regulate the expression levels of target genes, providing a powerful tool for accurate genome editing of organisms. The simplified CRISPR/Cas9 system can comprise Cas9 protein and gRNA. The principle of action is that gRNA forms a Cas9-gRNA complex with Cas9 protein through its own Cas9 handle, and the base complementary pairing sequence of gRNA in the Cas9-gRNA complex is paired with the target sequence of the target gene by the principle of base complementary pairing. Cas9 uses its own endonuclease activity to cleave the target DNA sequence. Compared to traditional genome editing techniques, the CRISPR/Cas9 system has several distinct advantages: ease of use, simplicity, low cost, programmability, and the ability to edit multiple genes simultaneously.

Pharmaceutical Composition

[0224] The present disclosure also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an engineered immune cell described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is a liquid composition. The pharmaceutical composition can be administered into a subject, for example, by injection. The concentration of the engineered immune cells in the preparation can be at least about 10.sup.2, 10.sup.3, 10.sup.4, 10.sup.5, 10.sup.6, 10.sup.7, 10.sup.8, 10.sup.9, or more cells/ml. In some case, the concentration of the engineered immune cells in the preparation can be 1.times.10.sup.3-1.times.10.sup.8 cells/ml, or 1.times.10.sup.4-1.times.10.sup.7 cells/ml.

[0225] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may comprise engineered immune cells as described herein, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically or physiologically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients. Such compositions may comprise buffers such as neutral buffered saline, phosphate buffered saline and the like; carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, sucrose or dextrans, mannitol; proteins; polypeptides or amino acids such as glycine; antioxidants; chelating agents such as EDTA or glutathione; adjuvants (e.g., aluminum hydroxide); and preservatives. Compositions of the present disclosure may be formulated for intravenous administration.

[0226] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be administered in a manner appropriate to the disease to be treated (or prevented). The quantity and frequency of administration will be determined by such factors as the condition of the patient, and the type and severity of the patient's disease, although appropriate dosages may be determined by clinical trials.

[0227] When "an immunologically effective amount", "an anti-tumor effective amount", "an tumor-inhibiting effective amount", or "therapeutic amount" is indicated, the precise amount of the compositions of the present disclosure to be administered can be determined by a physician with consideration of individual differences in age, weight, tumor size, extent of infection or metastasis, and condition of the patient (subject). It can generally be stated that a pharmaceutical composition comprising the engineered immune cells (e.g., CAR-T cells) described herein may be administered at a dosage of 10.sup.4 to 10.sup.9 cells/kg body weight, or in some cases, 10.sup.5 to 10.sup.6 cells/kg body weight, including all integer values within those ranges. T cell compositions may also be administered multiple times at these dosages. The cells can be administered by using infusion techniques. The optimal dosage and treatment regime for a particular patient can readily be determined by monitoring the patient for signs of disease and adjusting the treatment accordingly.

[0228] The administration of the subject compositions may be carried out in any convenient manner, including by aerosol inhalation, injection, ingestion, transfusion, implantation or transplantation. The compositions described herein may be administered to a patient subcutaneously, intradermally, intratumorally, intranodally, intramedullary, intramuscularly, by intravenous (i.v.) injection, or intraperitoneally. In some embodiments, the T cell compositions of the present disclosure are administered to a patient by intradermal or subcutaneous injection. In some other embodiments, the T cell compositions of the present disclosure are preferably administered by i.v. injection. The compositions of T cells may be injected directly into a tumor, lymph node, or site of infection.

Therapeutics

[0229] The present disclosure provides therapeutic applications with engineered immune cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) transduced with a lentiviral vector (LV) encoding an expression cassette described herein. Transduced T cells or NK cells can target tumor cell markers (such as CD19) and activated T cell and/or NK cell consensus markers (such as CD3, CD7, CD137, etc.). The engineered immune cells can be used for allogeneic tumor treatment and can be prepared on a large scale.

[0230] Accordingly, the present disclosure also provides a method of stimulating a T cell mediated immune response to a target cell population or tissue of a subject (e.g., a mammal) comprising the step of administering to the subject an engineered immune cell (e.g., CAR-T cell) of the disclosure.

[0231] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a type of cell therapy comprising directly administering engineered universal CAR-T cells of the present disclosure to a patient in need thereof. The CAR-T cells of the present disclosure may have the endogenous TCR expression knocked out or silenced in the cells by gene editing technology. Inactivation of the endogenous TCRs can prevent killing of normal cells by the TCRs during the allogeneic infusion. The GVHD reaction may be prevented. The CAR-T cells targeting a tumor cell marker (such as CD19) and a marker for activated T cells and/or NK cells (such as CD137) can remove activated T cells and/or NK cells while scavenging tumor cells. In addition, host versus graft response (HVG) can also be prevented. The cell therapy provided herein can also improve the survival and anti-tumor effect of allogeneic CAR-T cells in the subject.

[0232] In some embodiments, provided herein is a method of treating or diagnosing a disease in a subject, comprising administering the pharmaceutical composition described herein to said subject.

[0233] The engineered immune cell in said pharmaceutical composition can be derived from an allogeneic immune cell. The engineered immune cell derived from said allogeneic immune cell may not induce graft versus host disease (GvHD) in said subject. The engineered immune cell in said pharmaceutical composition can be derived from an autologous immune cell.

[0234] The endogenous TCR of said engineered immune cell in said pharmaceutical composition may be functionally inactive. The engineered immune cell can reduce GVHD in said subject compared to an additional immune cell having a functionally active TCR. The disease can be a cancer. The cancer can be, for example, lymphoma or leukemia.

[0235] The CAR-T cells of the present disclosure can undergo robust in vivo cell expansion and can be extended. The CAR-mediated immune response can be part of a step of adoptive immunotherapy in which CAR-modified T cells can induce an immune response specific for the antigen-binding domain in the CAR. For example, anti-CD19 CAR-T cells elicit a specific immune response against cells expressing CD19.

[0236] The engineered immune cells provided herein can be used to treat cancers. Cancers that may be treated include tumors that are not vascularized, or not yet substantially vascularized, as well as vascularized tumors. The cancers may comprise non-solid tumors (such as hematological tumors, for example, leukemias and lymphomas) or may comprise solid tumors. Types of cancers to be treated with the CARs of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, carcinoma, blastoma, and sarcoma, and certain leukemia or lymphoid malignancies, benign and malignant tumors, and malignancies e.g., sarcomas, carcinomas, and melanomas. Adult tumors/cancers and pediatric tumors/cancers are also included.

[0237] Hematologic cancers are cancers of the blood or bone marrow.

[0260] In some aspects, provided herein is a method of administering a cell (e.g., an engineered immune cell), comprising a functionally inactive T cell receptor (TCR). The cell can further comprise one or more chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). Each individual CAR of the one or more CARs can comprise a binding moiety. The binding moiety can comprise (i) a first antigen binding domain, which first antigen binding domain suppresses or reduces a subject's immune response toward the engineered immune cell when administered into the subject and (ii) a second antigen binding domain that binds to a disease-associated antigen. Each CAR of the one or more CARs can further comprise a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain.

[0261] In some aspects, provided herein is a method of administering an engineered immune cell comprising an enhancer moiety capable of enhancing one or more activities of the engineered immune cell. The engineered cell can further comprise a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising an antigen binding domain that specifically binds CD7. The CAR can further comprise a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain. The endogenous CD7 in the engineered immune cell can be inactivated. In some embodiments, the engineered cell can comprise a CAR comprising an antigen binding domain that specifically binds an immune cell antigen. The immune cell antigen can be any immune cell antigen described herein such as CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD16a, CD16b, CD25, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD38, CD45, CD48, CD50, CD52, CD56, CD57, CD62L, CD69, CD94, CD100, CD102, CD122, CD127, CD132, CD137, CD160, CD161, CD178, CD218, CD226, CD244, CD159a (NKG2A), CD159c (NKG2C), NKG2E, CD279, CD314 (NKG2D), CD305, CD335 (NKP46), CD337, CD319 (CS1), TCR.alpha., TCR.beta. and SLAMF7. The endogenous immune cell antigen of the engineered cell, which the antigen binding domain binds, can be inactivated in the engineered cell.

[0262] In some aspects, provided herein is a method of administering an engineered immune cell comprising a single chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising (i) a first antigen binding domain that specifically binds CD7 and (ii) a second antigen binding domain capable of binding to a disease-associated antigen. The CAR can further comprise a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain. A gene encoding endogenous CD7 can be inactivated in the engineered immune cell.

[0263] The present disclosure also provides methods of treating or diagnosing a disease in a subject. In some cases, the method comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising an engineered immune cell into a subject. The engineered immune cell in the pharmaceutical composition can be derived from an allogeneic immune cell. The engineered immune cell derived from the allogeneic immune cell may not induce graft versus host disease (GVHD) in the subject. The engineered immune cell in the pharmaceutical composition can be derived from an autologous immune cell. In some cases, an endogenous TCR of the engineered immune cell in the pharmaceutical composition is functionally inactive. The engineered immune cell can reduce GVHD in the subject compared to an immune cell having a functionally active TCR. The disease can be a cancer. For example, the cancer can be lymphoma or leukemia.

[0264] The present disclosure also provides a method of delivering an allogeneic cell therapy comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a population of engineered immune cells. An individual engineered immune cell of the population can comprise one or more chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) comprising a binding moiety. The binding moiety can comprise a first antigen binding domain capable of binding to an immune cell antigen. The binding moiety can further comprise a second antigen binding domain capable of binding to a disease-associated antigen. The first antigen binding domain can suppress or reduce a subject's immune response toward the engineered immune cell when administered into the subject. The engineered immune cell can further comprise an enhancer moiety capable of enhancing one or more activities of the engineered immune cell. The endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) of the engineered immune cell can be inactivated. For example, a gene encoding a subunit of TCR can be inactivated. Various gene editing methods described herein can be used to inactivate endogenous TCRs of a T cell.

[0265] In some embodiments, a method provided herein can include activation of a population of cells. In some cases, the cell used to prepare the engineered immune cell can be activated before preparing the engineered immune cell. In some cases, the engineered immune cell can be activated. Activation as used herein can refer to a process whereby a cell transitions from a resting state to an active state. This process can comprise a response to an antigen, migration, and/or a phenotypic or genetic change to a functionally active state. In some aspects, activation can refer to the stepwise process of T cell activation. In some cases, a T cell can require one or more signals to become activated. For example, a T cell can require at least two signals to become fully activated. The first signal can occur after engagement of a TCR by the antigen-MHC complex, and the second signal can occur by engagement of co-stimulatory molecules. Anti-CD3 antibody (or a functional variant thereof) can mimic the first signal and anti-CD28 antibody (or a functional variant thereof) can mimic the second signal in vitro.

[0266] In some aspects, a method provided herein can comprise activation of a population of cells. Activation can be performed by contacting a population of cells with a surface having attached thereto an agent that can stimulate a CD3 TCR complex associated signal and a ligand that can stimulate a co-stimulatory molecule on the surface of the cells. In particular, T cell populations can be stimulated in vitro such as by contact with an anti-CD3 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or an anti-CD2 antibody immobilized on a surface, or by contact with a protein kinase C activator (e.g., bryostatin) sometimes in conjunction with a calcium ionophore. For co-stimulation of an accessory molecule on the surface of the T cells, a ligand that binds the accessory molecule can be used. For example, a population of cells can be contacted with an anti-CD3 antibody and an anti-CD28 antibody, under conditions that can stimulate proliferation of the T cells. In some cases, 4-1BB can be used to stimulate cells. For example, cells can be stimulated with 4-1BB and IL-21 or another cytokine. For activation of either CD4 T cells or CD8 T cells, an anti-CD3 antibody and an anti-CD28 antibody can be used. For example, the agents providing a signal may be in solution or conjugated to a solid phase surface. The ratio of particles to cells may depend on particle size relative to the target cell. In further embodiments, the cells, such as T cells, can be combined with agent-coated beads, where the beads and the cells can be subsequently separated, and optionally cultured. Each bead can be coated with either anti-CD3 antibody or an anti-CD28 antibody, or in some cases, a combination of the two. In an alternative embodiment, prior to culture, the agent-coated beads and cells are not separated but are cultured together. Cell surface proteins may be conjugated by allowing paramagnetic beads to which anti-CD3 antibody and anti-CD28 antibody can be attached (3.times.28 beads) to contact the T cells. In one embodiment the cells and beads (for example, DYNABEADS.RTM. M-450 CD3/CD28 T paramagnetic beads at a ratio of 1:1) are combined in a buffer, for example, phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (e.g., without divalent cations such as, calcium and magnesium). Any cell concentration may be used. The mixture may be cultured for or for about several hours (e.g., about 3 hours) to or to about 14 days or any hourly integer value in between. In another embodiment, the mixture may be cultured for or for about 21 days or for up to or for up to about 21 days. Conditions appropriate for T cell culture can include an appropriate media (e.g., Minimal Essential Media or RPMI Media 1640 or, X-vivo 5, (Lonza)) that may contain factors necessary for proliferation and viability, including serum (e.g., fetal bovine or human serum), interleukin-2 (IL-2), insulin, IFN-g, TL-4, TL-7, GM-CSF, IL-10, IL-21, IL-15, TGF beta, and TNF alpha or any other additives for the growth of cells. Other additives for the growth of cells include, but are not limited to, surfactant, plasmanate, and reducing agents such as N-acetyl-cysteine and 2-mercaptoethanol. Media can include RPMI 1640, Al M-V, DMEM, MEM, a-MEM, F-12, X-Vivo 1, and X-Vivo 20, Optimizer, with added amino acids, sodium pyruvate, and vitamins, either serum-free or supplemented with an appropriate amount of serum (or plasma) or a defined set of hormones, and/or an amount of cytokine(s) sufficient for the growth and expansion of T cells. Antibiotics, e.g., penicillin and streptomycin, can be included only in experimental cultures, possibly not in cultures of cells that are to be infused into a subject. The target cells can be maintained under conditions necessary to support growth; for example, an appropriate temperature (e.g., 37.theta.C) and atmosphere (e.g., air plus 5% CO.sub.2). In some instances, T cells that have been exposed to varied stimulation times may exhibit different characteristics. In some cases, a soluble monospecific tetrameric antibody against human CD3, CD28, CD2, or any combination thereof may be used. In some embodiments, activation can utilize an activation moiety, a costimulatory agent, and any combination thereof. In some aspects, an activation moiety binds: a CD3/T cell receptor complex and/or provides costimulation. In some aspects, an activation moiety is any one of anti-CD3 antibody and/or anti-CD28 antibody. In some aspects, a solid phase is at least one of a bead, plate, and/or matrix. In some aspects, a solid phase is a bead. Alternatively or in addition to, the activation moiety may be not be conjugated a substrate, e.g., the activation moiety may be free-floating in a medium.

[0267] In some cases, a population of cells can be activated or expanded by co-culturing with tissue or cells. A cell can be an antigen presenting cell. An artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs) can express ligands for T cell receptor and costimulatory molecules and can activate and expand T cells for transfer, while improving their potency and function in some cases. An aAPC can be engineered to express any gene for T cell activation. An aAPC can be engineered to express any gene for T cell expansion. An aAPC can be a bead, a cell, a protein, an antibody, a cytokine, or any combination. An aAPC can deliver signals to a cell population that may undergo genomic transplant. For example, an aAPC can deliver a signal 1, signal, 2, signal 3 or any combination. A signal 1 can be an antigen recognition signal. For example, signal 1 can be ligation of a TCR by a peptide-MHC complex or binding of agonistic antibodies directed towards CD3 that can lead to activation of the CD3 signal-transduction complex. Signal 2 can be a co-stimulatory signal. For example, a co-stimulatory signal can be anti-CD28, inducible co-stimulator (ICOS), CD27, and 4-1BB (CD137), which bind to ICOS-L, CD70, and 4-1BBL, respectively. Signal 3 can be a cytokine signal. A cytokine can be any cytokine. A cytokine can be IL-2, IL-7, IL-12, IL-15, IL-21, or any combination thereof. In some cases an artificial antigen presenting cell (aAPC) may be used to activate and/or expand a cell population. In some cases, an artificial may not induce allospecificity. An aAPC may not express HLA in some cases. An aAPC may be genetically modified to stably express genes that can be used to activation and/or stimulation. In some cases, a K562 cell may be used for activation. A K562 cell may also be used for expansion. A K562 cell can be a human erythroleukemic cell line. A K562 cell may be engineered to express genes of interest. K562 cells may not endogenously express HLA class I, II, or CD1d molecules but may express ICAM-1 (CD54) and LFA-3 (CD58). K562 may be engineered to deliver a signal 1 to T cells. For example, K562 cells may be engineered to express HLA class I. In some cases, K562 cells may be engineered to express additional molecules such as B7, CD80, CD83, CD86, CD32, CD64, 4-1BBL, anti-CD3, anti-CD3 mAb, anti-CD28, anti-CD28mAb, CD1d, anti-CD2, membrane-bound IL-15, membrane-bound IL-17, membrane-bound IL-21, membrane-bound IL-2, truncated CD19, or any combination. In some cases, an engineered K562 cell can expresses a membranous form of anti-CD3 mAb, clone OKT3, in addition to CD80 and CD83. In some cases, an engineered K562 cell can expresses a membranous form of anti-CD3 mAb, clone OKT3, membranous form of anti-CD28 mAb in addition to CD80 and CD83.

[0268] An aAPC can be a bead. A spherical polystyrene bead can be coated with antibodies against CD3 and CD28 and be used for T cell activation. A bead can be of any size. In some cases, a bead can be or can be about 3 and 6 micrometers. A bead can be or can be about 4.5 micrometers in size. A bead can be utilized at any cell to bead ratio. For example, a 3 to 1 bead to cell ratio at 1 million cells per milliliter can be used. An aAPC can also be a rigid spherical particle, a polystyrene latex microbeads, a magnetic nano- or micro-particles, a nanosized quantum dot, a 4, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microsphere, a nonspherical particle, a 5, carbon nanotube bundle, a 6, ellipsoid PLGA microparticle, a 7, nanoworms, a fluidic lipid bilayer-containing system, an 8, 2D-supported lipid bilayer (2D-SLBs), a 9, liposome, a 10, RAFTsomes/microdomain liposome, an 11, SLB particle, or any combination thereof. In some cases, an aAPC can expand CD4 T cells. For example, an aAPC can be engineered to mimic an antigen processing and presentation pathway of HLA class II-restricted CD4 T cells. A K562 can be engineered to express HLA-D, DP a, DP R chains, Ii, DM .alpha., DM .beta., CD80, CD83, or any combination thereof. For example, engineered K562 cells can be pulsed with an HLA-restricted peptide in order to expand HLA-restricted antigen-specific CD4 T cells. In some cases, the use of aAPCs can be combined with exogenously introduced cytokines for T cell activation, expansion, or any combination. Cells can also be expanded in vivo, for example in the subject's blood after administration of genomically transplanted cells into a subject.

[0269] In some embodiments, a method provided herein can comprise transduction of a population of cells. In some embodiments, a method comprises introducing a polynucleotide encoding for a cellular receptor such as a chimeric antigen receptor and/or a T cell receptor. In some cases, a transfection of a cell can be performed.

[0270] In some embodiments, a viral supernatant comprising a polynucleotide encoding for a cellular receptor such as a CAR and/or TCR is generated. In some embodiments, a viral vector can be a retroviral vector, a lentiviral vector and/or an adeno-associated viral vector. Packaging cells can be used to form virus particles capable of infecting a host cell. Such cells can include 293 cells, (e.g., for packaging adenovirus), and Psi2 cells or PA317 cells (e.g., for packaging retrovirus). Viral vectors can be generated by producing a cell line that packages a nucleic acid vector into a viral particle. The vectors can contain the minimal viral sequences required for packaging and subsequent integration into a host. The vectors can contain other viral sequences being replaced by an expression cassette for the polynucleotide(s) to be expressed. The missing viral functions can be supplied in trans by the packaging cell line. For example, AAV vectors can comprise ITR sequences from the AAV genome which are required for packaging and integration into the host genome. Viral DNA can be packaged in a cell line, which can contain a helper plasmid encoding the other AAV genes, namely rep and cap, while lacking ITR sequences. The cell line can also be infected with adenovirus as a helper. The helper virus can promote replication of the AAV vector and expression of AAV genes from the helper plasmid. Contamination with adenovirus can be reduced by, e.g., heat treatment to which adenovirus is more sensitive than AAV. Additional methods for the delivery of nucleic acids to cells can be used, for example, as described in US20030087817, incorporated herein by reference.

[0271] In some embodiments, a host cell can be transiently or non-transiently transfected with one or more vectors described herein. A cell can be transfected as it naturally occurs in a subject. A cell can be taken or derived from a subject and transfected. A cell can be derived from cells taken from a subject, such as a cell line. In some embodiments, a cell transfected with one or more vectors described herein is used to establish a new cell line comprising one or more vector-derived sequences. Non-limiting examples of vectors for eukaryotic host cells include but are not limited to: pBs, pQE-9 (Qiagen), phagescript, PsiX174, pBluescript SK, pBsKS, pNH8a, pNH16a, pNH18a, pNH46a (Stratagene); pTrc99A, pKK223-3, pKK233-3, pDR540, pRIT5 (Pharmacia).

[0273] The transfection efficiency of cells with any of the nucleic acid delivery platforms described herein, for example, transduction, can be or can be about 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.9%, or more than 99.9%. In some embodiments, a method can comprise adding an infective agent to a composition comprising a population of cells. An infective agent can comprise polybrene. In some aspects, an infective agent can enhance efficiency of viral infection. An infective agent can enhance viral infectivity from about 100 to 1,000 fold. Polybrene can be added to a composition at a concentration from about 5 ug to 10 ug per ml.

[0274] In some embodiments, a method provided herein can comprise a non-viral approach of introducing a cellular receptor to a cell. Non-viral approaches can include but are not limited to: CRISPR associated proteins (Cas proteins, e.g., Cas9), Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN), Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nuclease (TALEN), Argonaute nucleases, and meganucleases. Nucleases can be naturally existing nucleases, genetically modified, and/or recombinant. Non-viral approaches can also be performed using a transposon-based system (e.g. PiggyBac, Sleeping beauty).

[0275] In some embodiments, a method provided herein can utilize a PiggyBac system to introduce an exogenous polypeptide to a cell. A PiggyBac system comprises two components, a transposon and a transposase. The PiggyBac transposase facilitates the integration of the transposon specifically at `TTAA` sites randomly dispersed in the genome. The predicted frequency of `TTAA` in the genome is approximately 1 in every 256 base-pairs of DNA sequence. Unlike other transposons, the PB transposase also enables the excision of the transposon in a completely seamless manner, leaving no sequences or mutations behind. Furthermore, PiggyBac offers a large cargo-carrying capacity (over 200 kb has been demonstrated) with no known upper limit. PB performance levels can be increased by codon-optimization strategies, mutations, deletions, additions, substitutions, and any combination thereof. In some cases, PB can have a larger cargo (approximately 9.1-14.3 kb), a higher transposition activity, and its footprint-free characteristic can make it appealing as a gene editing tool. In some aspects, PB can comprise a few features: high efficiency transposition; large cargo; steady long-term expression; the trans-gene is integrated as a single copy; tracking the target gene in vivo by a noninvasive mark instead of traditional method such as PCR; easy to determine the integration site, and combinations thereof.

[0276] In some aspects, a method provided herein can utilize a Sleeping Beauty (SB) System to introduce a polypeptide coding for a cellular receptor to a cell. SB was engineered from ancient Tc1/mariner transposon fossils found within the Salmonid genomes by in vitro evolution. The SB ITRs (230 bp) contain imperfect direct repeats (DRs) of 32 bp in length that can serve as recognition signals for the transposase. Binding affinity and spacing between the DR elements within ITR has involved in transpositional activities. The SB transposase can be a 39 kDa protein that possess DNA binding polypeptide, a nuclear localization signal (NLS) and the catalytic domain, featured by a conserved amino acid motif (DDE). Various screens mutagenizing the primary amino acid sequence of the SB transposase resulted in hyperactive transposase versions. In some cases, a modified SB can be utilized. Modified SBs can contain mutations, deletions and additions within ITRs of the original SB transposon. Modified SBs can comprise: pT2, pT3, pT2B, pT4, SB100X, and combinations thereof. Non-limited examples of modified SBs can be selected from: SB10, SB11 (3-fold higher than SB10), SB12 (4-fold higher than SB10), HSB1-HSB5 (up to 10-fold higher than SB10), HSB13-HSB17 (HSB17 is 17-fold higher than SB10), SB100X (100-fold higher than SB10), SB150X (130-fold higher than SB10), and any combination thereof. In some cases, SB100X is 100-fold hyperactive compared to the originally resurrected transposase (SB10). In some aspects, SB transposition excision leaves a footprint (3 bp) at the cargo site. Integration occurs into TA dinucleotides of the genome, and results in target site duplications, generated by the host repair machinery. In some cases, SB appears to possess a nearly unbiased, close-to-random integration profile. Transposon integration can be artificially targeted (.about.10%) to a predetermined genomic locus in wildtype systems, however in chimeric systems provided herein, SB transposon integration can be directed to a predetermined locus with efficiencies over 10%.

[0277] In some aspects, a non-viral approach may be taken to introduce an exogenous polynucleic acid to a population of cells. In some aspects, a non-viral vector or nucleic acid may be delivered without the use of a virus and may be measured according to the quantity of nucleic acid. Generally, any suitable amount of nucleic acid can be used with the compositions and methods of this disclosure. In some cases, nucleic acid may be at least about 1 pg, 10 pg, 100 pg, 1 pg, 10 pg, 100 pg, 200 pg, 300 pg, 400 pg, 500 pg, 600 pg, 700 pg, 800 pg, 900 pg, 1 .mu.g, g, 100 .mu.g, 200 .mu.g, 300 .mu.g, 400 .mu.g, 500 .mu.g, 600 .mu.g, 700 .mu.g, 800 .mu.g, 900 .mu.g, 1 ng, 10 ng, 100 ng, 200 ng, 300 ng, 400 ng, 500 ng, 600 ng, 700 ng, 800 ng, 900 ng, 1 mg, 10 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 600 mg, 700 mg, 800 mg, 900 mg, 1 g, 2 g, 3 g, 4 g, or 5 g. In some cases, nucleic acid may be at most about 1 pg, 10 pg, 100 pg, 1 pg, 10 pg, 100 pg, 200 pg, 300 pg, 400 pg, 500 pg, 600 pg, 700 pg, 800 pg, 900 pg, 1 .mu.g, 10 pg, 100 ag, 200 ag, 300 ag, 400 ag, 500 ag, 600 ag, 700 ag, 800 ag, 900 ag, 1 ng, 10 ng, 100 ng, 200 ng, 300 ng, 400 ng, 500 ng, 600 ng, 700 ng, 800 ng, 900 ng, 1 mg, 10 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 600 mg, 700 mg, 800 mg, 900 mg, 1 g, 2 g, 3 g, 4 g, or 5 g.

[0278] In some embodiments, a non-viral approach of introducing a CAR and/or TCR sequence to a cell can include electroporation. Electroporation can be performed using, for example, the Neon.RTM. Transfection System (ThermoFisher Scientific) or the AMAXA.RTM. Nucleofector (AMAXA.RTM. Biosystems). Electroporation parameters may be adjusted to optimize transfection efficiency and/or cell viability. Electroporation devices can have multiple electrical wave form pulse settings such as exponential decay, time constant and square wave. Every cell type has a unique optimal Field Strength (E) that is dependent on the pulse parameters applied (e.g., voltage, capacitance and resistance). Application of optimal field strength causes electropermeabilization through induction of transmembrane voltage, which allows nucleic acids to pass through the cell membrane. In some cases, the electroporation pulse voltage, the electroporation pulse width, number of pulses, cell density, and tip type may be adjusted to optimize transfection efficiency and/or cell viability.

[0279] In some embodiments, electroporation pulse voltage may be varied to optimize transfection efficiency and/or cell viability. In some cases, the electroporation voltage may be less than about 500 volts. In some cases, the electroporation voltage may be at least about 500 volts, at least about 600 volts, at least about 700 volts, at least about 800 volts, at least about 900 volts, at least about 1000 volts, at least about 1100 volts, at least about 1200 volts, at least about 1300 volts, at least about 1400 volts, at least about 1500 volts, at least about 1600 volts, at least about 1700 volts, at least about 1800 volts, at least about 1900 volts, at least about 2000 volts, at least about 2100 volts, at least about 2200 volts, at least about 2300 volts, at least about 2400 volts, at least about 2500 volts, at least about 2600 volts, at least about 2700 volts, at least about 2800 volts, at least about 2900 volts, or at least about 3000 volts. In some cases, the electroporation pulse voltage required for optimal transfection efficiency and/or cell viability may be specific to the cell type. For example, an electroporation voltage of 1900 volts may optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for macrophage cells. In another example, an electroporation voltage of about 1350 volts may optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for Jurkat cells or primary human cells such as T cells. In some cases, a range of electroporation voltages may be optimal for a given cell type. For example, an electroporation voltage between about 1000 volts and about 1300 volts may optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for human 578T cells. In some cases, a primary cell can be a primary lymphocyte. In some cases, a population of primary cells can be a population of lymphocytes.

[0280] In some embodiments, electroporation pulse width may be varied to optimize transfection efficiency and/or cell viability. In some cases, the electroporation pulse width may be less than about 5 milliseconds. In some cases, the electroporation width may be at least about 5 milliseconds, at least about 6 milliseconds, at least about 7 milliseconds, at least about 8 milliseconds, at least about 9 milliseconds, at least about 10 milliseconds, at least about 11 milliseconds, at least about 12 milliseconds, at least about 13 milliseconds, at least about 14 milliseconds, at least about 15 milliseconds, at least about 16 milliseconds, at least about 17 milliseconds, at least about 18 milliseconds, at least about 19 milliseconds, at least about 20 milliseconds, at least about 21 milliseconds, at least about 22 milliseconds, at least about 23 milliseconds, at least about 24 milliseconds, at least about 25 milliseconds, at least about 26 milliseconds, at least about 27 milliseconds, at least about 28 milliseconds, at least about 29 milliseconds, at least about 30 milliseconds, at least about 31 milliseconds, at least about 32 milliseconds, at least about 33 milliseconds, at least about 34 milliseconds, at least about 35 milliseconds, at least about 36 milliseconds, at least about 37 milliseconds, at least about 38 milliseconds, at least about 39 milliseconds, at least about 40 milliseconds, at least about 41 milliseconds, at least about 42 milliseconds, at least about 43 milliseconds, at least about 44 milliseconds, at least about 45 milliseconds, at least about 46 milliseconds, at least about 47 milliseconds, at least about 48 milliseconds, at least about 49 milliseconds, or at least about 50 milliseconds. In some cases, the electroporation pulse width required for optimal transfection efficiency and/or cell viability may be specific to the cell type. For example, an electroporation pulse width of 30 milliseconds may optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for macrophage cells. In another example, an electroporation width of about 10 milliseconds may optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for Jurkat cells. In some cases, a range of electroporation widths may be optimal for a given cell type. For example, an electroporation width between about 20 milliseconds and about 30 milliseconds may optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for human 578T cells.

[0281] In some embodiments, the number of electroporation pulses may be varied to optimize transfection efficiency and/or cell viability. In some cases, electroporation may comprise a single pulse. In some cases, electroporation may comprise more than one pulse. In some cases, electroporation may comprise 2 pulses, 3 pulses, 4 pulses, 5 pulses 6 pulses, 7 pulses, 8 pulses, 9 pulses, or 10 or more pulses. In some cases, the number of electroporation pulses required for optimal transfection efficiency and/or cell viability may be specific to the cell type. For example, electroporation with a single pulse may be optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for macrophage cells. In another example, electroporation with a 3 pulses may be optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for primary cells. In some cases, a range of electroporation widths may be optimal for a given cell type. For example, electroporation with between about 1 to about 3 pulses may be optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for human cells.

[0282] In some cases, the starting cell density for electroporation may be varied to optimize transfection efficiency and/or cell viability. In some cases, the starting cell density for electroporation may be less than about 1.times.105 cells. In some cases, the starting cell density for electroporation may be at least about 1.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 2.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 3.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 4.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 5.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 6.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 7.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 8.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 9.times.10.sup.5 cells, at least about 1.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 1.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 2.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 2.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 3.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 3.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 4.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 4.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 5.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 6.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 6.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 7.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 7.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 8.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 8.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 9.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 9.5.times.10.sup.6 cells, at least about 1.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 1.2.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 1.4.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 1.6.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 1.8.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 2.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 2.2.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 2.4.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 2.6.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 2.8.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 3.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 3.2.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 3.4.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 3.6.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 3.8.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 4.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 4.2.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 4.4.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 4.6.times.10.sup.7 cells, at least about 4.8.times.10.sup.7 cells, or at least about 5.times.10.sup.7 cells. In some cases, the starting cell density for electroporation required for optimal transfection efficiency and/or cell viability may be specific to the cell type. For example, a starting cell density for electroporation of 1.5.times.10.sup.6 cells may optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for macrophage cells. In another example, a starting cell density for electroporation of 5.times.10.sup.6 cells may optimal (e.g., provide the highest viability and/or transfection efficiency) for human cells.

The inducible cell death moiety can be selected from the group consisting of rapaCasp9, iCasp9, HSV-TK, ACD20, mTMPK, ACD19, RQR8, Her2t, CD30, BCMA, and EGFRt. For example, the inducible cell death moiety can be EGFRt, and the cell death activator can be an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof that binds EGFRt. For another example, the inducible cell death moiety can be HSV-TK, and the cell death activator can be GCV. For another example, the inducible cell death moiety can be iCasp9, and the cell death activator can be AP1903.

[0304] The CAR gene was cloned into the FUW lentiviral vector backbone under the promoter of EF1.alpha. (EF-1.alpha.) to form Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR. Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR, lentiviral envelope plasmid pMD2.G (Addgene, Plasmid #12259) and lentiviral packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene, Plasmid #12260) were transfected into 293 T cells by using Lipofectamine3000 to prepare the whole lentiviral expression vector. The supernatant was collected at 48 and 72 h and subject to ultra-centrifuge (Merck Millipore) for concentration. The concentrated virus was ready for the transfection of T cells.

[0305] The result shows that the lentiviral vector was successfully constructed and expression of EGFRt and CD19+CD3 CAR were both detected as expected.

1.2 Design and Construction of CRISPR

[0306] First, gRNA sequences targeting the first exon of the TCR conserved region were designed at http://crispr.mit.edu, and two gRNA sequences with scores above 80 were selected for higher knockout efficiency. For the gRNA primer, the forward primer comprises a T7 promotor followed by 20 bp of the target sequence, and the reverse primer has 20 bp of the complementary sequence. pX330 plasmid was used as the PCR template. After purification, T7-PCR product was further used as the template for MEGAshortscript T7 kit to obtain RNA. The RNA was purified with a MEGAclear column and eluted with RNA-free water. Cas9 plasmid was purchased from Addgene.

[0307] The gRNA targeting sequences are as below:

TABLE-US-00005 TRAC-gRNA: TGTGCTAGACATGAGGTCTA,; SEQ ID NO: 5

[0308] Meanwhile, the knockout efficiency of the gRNA was analyzed by Surveyor assay, TIDE.

1.3 Preparation of CAR-T Cells

[0309] Cell Isolation and Activation

[0310] After apheresis, monocytes were isolated by using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich) through density gradient centrifugation. Then T cells were enriched, activated by magnetic beads coupled with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, cultured and expanded.

[0311] X-vivo 15 with 5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 300 IU/ml rhIL2 was used as CAR-T cell medium. The cells were incubated and cultured at 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2.

[0312] Cell line expressing CD 19: Raji (Burkitt's lymphoma cell line, ATCC-CCL86); K562 cells (Human erythroleukemia cell line, ATCC-CCL243); Raji-ffluc cell line was obtained by screening Raji cells transfected with lentivirus having firefly luciferase;

[0313] Cell line expressing CD3: Jurkat cell.

[0314] All of the cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium and 293T cells (ATCC-CRL3216) were cultured in DMEM medium. Both RPMI1640 and DMEM were supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate.

[0315] Electroporation

[0316] Two days after enriching and activating T cells, the anti-CD3/anti-CD28 magnetic beads and the cells were collected into a tube and subject to centrifuge at 300 g for 5 min, and then washed twice with DPBS and re-suspended in opti-mem at a cell density of 1-3.times.10.sup.8/ml. The amount of cas9/gRNA required was calculated based on the density of the cells, 30 .mu.g/ml each. Cas9 and gRNA were 1:1 mixed, and incubated at room temperature for 10 mins and then transferred to electroporation buffer to further mix with the cells for electroporation by 4D-Nucleofector System N (Lonza) system. Then the cells were re-suspended in a pre-warmed medium to a density of 1-2.times.10.sup.6/ml, transferred to a plate and then cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2.

[0317] Lentiviral Transfection

[0318] 1 day after electroporation, the cells were transfected by lentiviral vector at MOI of 2-8, transferred to a flask and cultured at 37.degree. C., 5% Co.sub.2.

[0319] Cell Proliferation and Detection of CAR Positive Ratio

[0320] 3 days after the transfection, the number of cells and CAR positive cells were detected, and the positive ratio of CAR in T cells was calculated. The positive ratio of CD3 and PD1 was also detected to determine the knockout efficiency. Then the cells were continuously cultured in the incubator and half of the medium was replaced every 2-3 days till day 14, when the cells were ready for cryopreservation. An example workflow is shown in FIG. 2.

[0321] FIG. 3 shows flow cytometry data of fractions of the engineered immune cells expressing dual-CARs or control cells with or without specified markers. For example, CD3 can be a marker indictive of endogenous TCR knockout efficiency, 3CAR (CAR targeting CD3) can be a marker indictive of CAR-T cells targeting CD3, 19CAR (CAR targeting CD19) can be a marker indicative of CAR-T cells targeting CD19, and EGFR can be a marker indictive of CAR-T expressing EGFRt. FIG. 4 shows another flow cytometry data of fractions of the engineered immune cells expressing dual-CARs or control cells with or without specified markers. In FIG. 4, the CAR targeting CD19 was a scFv of monoclonal antibody FMC63, and the CAR targeting CD3 was a scFv of monoclonal antibody OKT3 or UCHT1. The result shows that positive ratio of EGFR and CAR and negative ratio of CD3 were high in the prepared EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T cells, indicating the gene knockout dual CAR-T cells (e.g., parallel-EGFRt) with safety switch (e.g., EGFRt) were successfully prepared.

1.4 Release of the Cytokines

[0322] The dual CAR-T cells prepared in Example 1.3 and CD19 positive tumor cells (Raji), CD3 positive tumor cells (Jurkat) or primary allogeneic PBMCs, 100 ul each, were mixed in RPMI medium at 1:1 ratio to a density of 1.times.10.sup.6/ml for each cell, and then cultured overnight in a 96-well plate. The medium was then collected and subject to centrifuge and the released cytokine IFN-.gamma. and IL-2 were detected by Cytokine bead array kit (CBA kit, BD Biosciences).

[0323] The result shows that co-incubation of EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T cells with Raji, Jurkat or primary allogeneic PBMCs produce a large amount of IFN-.gamma. and IL-2, indicating function of CAR-T against CD19 positive or CD3 positive target cells.

1.5 In Vitro Killing Activity

[0324] A stably transfected cell line was obtained by introducing the luciferase gene into the target cell followed by screening. After adding fluorescein, luciferase could react with the fluorescein to produce fluorescence. By detecting the intensity of the fluorescence, the activity of luciferase can be measured, and the survival of the cells can be detected so that to evaluate the killing effect of CART cells.

[0325] FIG. 5A shows bar-graphs of cytotoxicity of CAR-T cells, including CAR-T cells targeting CD3 with scFv of monoclonal antibody OKT3 or UCHT1, dual-specific CAR-T cells targeting CD19 and CD3 (para193-O and para193-U), CD19 CAR with endogenous TCR knocked out (TCR KO CD19 CAR), and T cells controls with endogenous TCR knocked out (TCR KO T cell control), toward CD19+ NALM6-Luc cells and CD3+ Jurkat-Luc cells at 1:1 E:T (Effector CAR-T cells to Target cancer cells) ratio for 6 hours and 24 hours, respectively. FIG. 5B shows cytotoxicity of CAR-T cells toward Jurket cells measured from Day 1 to Day3 of co-culture of Jurkat cells and CAR-T cells at 1:1 E:T ratio. FIG. 5C shows cytotoxicity of CAR-T cells toward T cells expressing CD3 measured from Day1 to Day 3 of co-culture of NALM6 cells and CAR-T cells at 1:1 E:T ratio.

[0326] The cytotoxicity of the dual-specific CAR-T cells targeting CD19 and CD3 (e.g., dual-specific CAR-T cells in parallel form with scFv from monoclonal antibody UCHT1: GC193-para-U) were also tested against NALM6-LucG, Jurkat-LucG, Raji, allogeneic NTcells (non-treated T cells), and autologous NT cells. FIG. 6A shows 40 hour cytotoxicity of CAR-T cells toward NALM6 cells at different effector: target ratios. FIG. 6B shows 6 hour cytotoxicity of CAR-T cells toward Jurkat cells at different effector: target ratios. FIG. 6C shows 40 hour cytotoxicity of CAR-T cells toward Jurkat, allogeneic NT cells, autologous NT cells, Raji cells, and NALM6 cells. FIG. 7A shows 16 hour cytotoxicity of dual-specific CAR-T cells in parallel or loop form toward NALM6 cells. CD19-CD3 dual-specific CAR-T cells showed comparable anti-tumor efficacy to single CD19 CAR-T cells. FIG. 7B shows 16 hour cytotoxicity of dual-specific CAR-T cells in parallel or loop form toward Jurkat cells. CD19-CD3 dual-specific CAR-T cells showed comparable anti-tumor efficacy to single CD3 CAR-T cells. The result shows that EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T cells significantly killed Nalm6, Raji, Jurkat and primary allogeneic PBMCs, indicating the function of CAR-T against CD19-positive or CD3-positive target cells, and their capabilities of simultaneous targeting both CD19+ cancer cells and CD3+ killer T cells.

1.6 In Vivo Efficacy

[0327] 6-12 weeks NOD-Prkdcscid Il2rgnull (NPG) mice were selected and intraperitoneally injected with 2.times.10.sup.5 Raji-ffluc cells or Jurkat-ffluc cells, 50 .mu.L DPBS and 50 .mu.L matrigel matrix (Corning). Two days later, the tumor graft burden of the mice was measured, and the mice were divided into 4 groups based on the tumor burden. One day later, 200 .mu.L DPBS, 5.times.10.sup.6 NT cells and 5.times.10.sup.6 EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T cells were respectively injected to each mouse. The tumor burden of the mice was further evaluated 7 days after the CAR-T treatment. Then each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 3 mg d-luciferin for a 4-minutes reaction, and subsequently photographed by using a Xenogen IVIS Imaging System with 30 s exposure.

[0328] The result shows that EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T significantly decreased the tumor burden compared to NT cells for tumors from by both Raji-ffluc and Jurkat-ffluc cells, indicating EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T can clear CD19 positive or CD3 positive target cells in vivo.

1.7 In Vivo GVHD Study

[0329] The mice were systemically treated with a sub-lethal dose of irradiation (175 cGy) first. Then CAR-T cells were re-suspended in PBS and injected into the thorax of the treated mice. The mice were observed 2-3 times a week by using GVHD clinical criteria including weight loss, arch-back, activity, fur texture, and skin integrity.

[0330] The result shows that mice without TCR knockout showed GVHD symptoms, however, no GVHD was detected in the EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T+TCR dual knockout group.

[0331] FIGS. 66A-C show the in vivo GvHD study comparing CD19 CAR-T vs TCR KO CD19 CAR-T cells. 2e7 CD19 CAR-T or TCR KO CD19 CAR-T cells were infused into each Raji-tumor bearing NOG mice to compare GvHD response. Mice from CD19 CAR-T group showed significant CAR-T expansion along with severe weight loss (>20%), arch-back, ruffled fur, and early death compared with TCR KO CAR-T cells. No GVHD was detected in any TCR KO CD19 CAR-T infused mice.

1.8 In Vitro HVG Study

[0332] EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T+TCR knockout and EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T+TCR/B2M dual knockout cells were 1:1 incubated with NK cells overnight to detect apoptosis and cytokine release (IFN-.gamma.).

[0333] The results show that compared to the control group, EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T+TCR knockout group had almost no apoptosis, and the cytokine released was significantly less, indicating that the product of the present disclosure will not cause HVG reaction by NK cells. Meanwhile, the TCR/B2M dual knockout cells were significantly killed by NK cell and were not able to survive long.

[0334] HVG can also induce allogeneic T cells against HLA intact CAR-T cells. FIG. 6C shows that dual CAR-T cells can target allogeneic T cells within 40 hours, preventing CAR-T rejection by host allogeneic T cells, which usually takes 72 hours.

1.9 Clearance of EGFRt Gene-Mediated CAR-T Cells

[0335] NK cells were isolated from PBMCs as effector cells, and 1:1 co-cultured with CD19-28z CART or EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T, with or without Cetuximab at a final concentration of 10 .mu.g/mL. 4 h and 24 h later, the expression of CD3 and CAR was detected by flow cytometry.

ADCC percentage=(1-monoclonal antibody group CAR positive ratio/no antibody group CAR positive ratio)*100%

[0336] The results show that, 4 h and 24 h later, in the presence of Cetuximab, NK cells significantly cleared EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T cells, but failed to clear CD19-28z CART. Without Cetuximab, NK failed to kill either of the cells. This indicates that Cetuximab functions as a safety switch, which binds to EGFRt-CD3-CD19 CAR-T, and allows NK to mediate the ADCC function so that to clear CART cells.

Example 2 Study of U-CAR-T Cells Expressing CAR19 and the Enhancer with TCR Knockout

[0337] In this example, 5.times.10.sup.5 Raji-luciferase cells were grafted into NOG mice by subcutaneous injection and grew till reach 100 mm.sup.3. 1.times.10.sup.6 wildtype or TCR KO CD19 CAR-T cells were intravenously infused (IV) into Raji grafted mice. Tumor burden was assessed by caliper measurements of the actual tumor sizes. CAR-T cell expansion in the peripheral blood was measured by flow cytometry analysis. FIG. 8A shows tumor burden post CAR-T treatment. TCR intact CD19 CAR-T cells were able to eliminate tumors, but TCR KO CD19 CAR-T wasn't able to control Raji tumor growth. Although both were Raji based tumor bearing models, subcutaneous model generates solid tumors and has much higher requirements on CAR-T cell proliferation for controlling the tumors than intravenous model. FIG. 8B shows CAR-T proliferation in peripheral blood. TCR KO CAR-T cells showed a proliferation defects compared to WT CAR-T cells, the peak of CAR-T cell expansion is much weaker than that of WT cells, which is consistent with their tumor control effects.

[0338] FIGS. 9A-9C show proliferation of CD19 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout. FIG. 9A shows an experimental timeline of repeated stimulations by NALM6 cells and measurements of residual tumor cells. FIG. 9B shows the proliferation data of CD19 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout and expression of different enhancers in comparison to CD19 CAR-T cells without TCR knockout and CD19 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout but without expression of the enhancers. Additions of NALM6 cells are indicated by arrows according to the experimental trimline in FIG. 9A. FIG. 9B shows the clearing activity of various CD19 CAR-T cells as indicated by the amount of residual tumor cells measured at the indicated days according to the experimental timeline in FIG. 9A. Under multiple rounds or repeated stimulations by NALM6 cells, the CD19 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout and C7R or IL7 exhibited persistent expansion and enhanced expansion ability compared with other cells tested in this experiment.

[0339] FIGS. 10A and 10B show additional proliferation data comparing expansion ability of engineered CAR-T cells. FIG. 10A shows proliferation data of CD19 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout and two different enhancers (C7R and IL2) in comparison to cells without the expression of the enhancer. The results showed that under multiple rounds or repeated stimulation by NALM6 cells, CD19 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout and C7R or IL2 exhibited persistent expansion and enhanced expansion ability compared with the cell without the expression of any enhancer. FIG. 10B shows proliferation data of CD7 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout and two different enhancers (C7R and mbIL15) in comparison to cells without the expression of the enhancer. The results showed that under multiple rounds or repeated stimulation by CCRF-CEM cells, CD7 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout and C7R or mbIL15 exhibited persistent expansion and enhanced expansion ability compared with the cell without the expression of any enhancer. The cells with the expression of C7R exhibited better expansion ability than the cells expressing mbIL15.

[0340] FIG. 11 shows an example of in vivo comparison of enhancers in TCR KO CD19 CAR-T cells. In this example, 5.times.10.sup.5 Raji-luciferase cells were grafted into NOG mice by intravenous (IV) injection and grew for 5 days. TCR KO CD19 CAR-T cells (CD19 CAR-T cells with TCR knockout) with/without enhancers as well as vehicle and T cell controls were intravenously infused (IV) into Raji grafted mice. Tumor burden was assessed by bioluminescence intensity (BLI). The TCR KO CD19 CAR-T cells expressing enhancer C7R, IL7 exhibited the better tumor control in comparison to the cells without the expression of enhancers or with expression of mbIL15 or other control cells. FIG. 12 shows corresponding images of the NOG mice indicating tumor burden assessed by BLI.

General Materials and Methods

[0341] Isolation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) from Donor Blood and Expansion of T Cells

[0342] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from donor blood by using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich) through density gradient centrifuge. Then T cells were enriched, activated by magnetic beads coupled with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, cultured and expanded.

[0343] Cell Lines and Culture of T Cells

[0344] CCRF-CEM (T lymphoblast, ATCC.RTM. CCL-119.TM.);

[0345] CCRF-CEM-luc cells (obtained by screening CCRF-CEM cells transfected with lentivirus having firefly luciferase);

[0346] K562 cells (Human erythroleukemia cell line, ATCC-CCL243);

[0347] 293T cells (ATCC-CRL3216);

[0348] NK92 cells (ATCC-CRL2407).

[0349] The CCRF-CEM-luc cell line was cultured in RPMI1640 medium, and 293T cells were cultured in DMEM medium. Both RPMI1640 and DMEM were supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. All of the cells were cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% Co.sub.2.

[0350] NK92 cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1% NEAA, 0.1 mM mercaptoethanol and 200 IU/ml rhIL2.

[0351] T cells and the obtained CAR-T cells were cultured in X-vivo15 medium (containing 5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 300 IU/ml rhIL2). The culture medium for CAR-T cells was further supplemented with rhIL-2 (ThermoFisher Scientific) at a final concentration of 300 IU/ml every two days. All of the cells were cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2.

3.1 Design and Construction of CRISPR

[0352] CD7 and TCR gRNAs for gene editing were selected after evaluating gene editing efficiency and off-target risk at website http://crispr.mit.edu, www.idtdna.com and https://www.synthego.com. gRNAs and HiFi-Cas9 protein used in the present disclosure were purchased from Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc (IDT).

[0353] For gene editing, 3 .mu.g Cas9 protein and 1.5 .mu.g gRNA were mixed in 20 .mu.l and incubated at 37.degree. C. or room temperature for 15 minutes to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP). Then RNP was transfected into T cells by Lonza 4D Nucleofector. Gene knockout efficiency was determined by the ratio of the cells expressing the protein as detected by flow cytometry (FACS).

[0354] Our previous study indicated that TRAC-gRNA1 has a higher knockout efficiency for TCR (the sequence is set forth as SEQ ID NO.: 20). When gRNA of CD7 and TRAC-gRNA were used together to knockout CD7 and TCR simultaneously, three of four CD7-gRNAs showed high efficiencies (as shown in FIG. 16). CD7-gRNA1 (SEQ ID NO.: 34) was selected as the gRNA to knockout CD7.

[0358] The CAR genes were cloned into the FUW lentiviral vector backbone under the promoter of EF a (EF-1.alpha.) to form Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR. Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR, lentiviral envelope plasmid pMD2.G (Addgene, Plasmid #12259) and lentiviral packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene, Plasmid #12260) were transfected into 293 T cells by using Lipofectamine3000 to prepare the whole lentiviral expression vector. The supernatant was collected at 48 and 72 h and subject to ultra-centrifuge (Merck Millipore) for concentration.

3.3 Preparation of UCAR-T Cells

[0359] The whole preparation process is illustrated in FIG. 15.

[0360] Cell Isolation and Activation

[0361] After apheresis, monocytes were isolated using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich) by density gradient centrifugation. T cells were then enriched, activated by magnetic beads coupled with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, cultured and expanded.

[0362] X-vivo 15 with 5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 300 IU/ml rhIL2 was used as UCAR-T cell medium. The cells were incubated and cultured at 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2.

[0363] Electroporation and Lentivirus Infection

[0364] Two days after enriching and activating the T cells, the anti-CD3/anti-CD28 magnetic beads were removed and the cells were collected into a tube and subject to centrifuge at 300 g for 5 min, and then washed twice with DPBS and re-suspended in opti-mem at a cell density of 50.times.10.sup.6/ml. The amount of cas9/gRNA RNP required was calculated based on the density of the cells, and then mixed with cells and transferred for electroporation by 4D-Nucleofector System N (Lonza) system. Then the cells were re-suspended in a pre-warmed medium to a density of 2.times.10.sup.6/ml. The cells were further subject to lentiviral transfection at MOI of 2-8, transferred to a flask and cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% Co.sub.2.

[0365] Cell Proliferation and Detection of CAR Positive Ratio

[0366] 3 days after the transfection, the number of cells and CAR positive cells were detected, and the positive ratio of CAR in T cells was calculated. The positive ratio of TCR (or CD3) and CD7 was also detected to determine the knockout efficiency. Then cells were continuously cultured in the incubator for 10 days and then the cells were ready for cryopreservation.

[0367] The result shows that (FIG. 18) the expression of CAR, IL15R.alpha. or C7R (CD34) was successfully detected by flow cytometry for CAR7, CAR7-mb15 and CAR7-C7R, and the positive ratio was higher than 30%. The negative ratio of CD3/CD7 was up to about 98%, indicating that the TCR knockout enhanced and universal UCAR-T cells were successfully prepared.

[0368] As shown in FIG. 19, after removing exogenous IL-2, pSTAT5 level of CAR7 went down to basal level. However, the level of pSTAT5 in CAR7-C7R T cells (CD34+ cells) or CAR7-T cells with exogenous IL2 addition were at quite high levels, indicating expression of C7R and exogenously added IL-2 can both enhance the activation of STAT5 signaling pathway.

3.4 In Vitro Killing Effect

[0369] A stably transfected CCRF-CEM-luc cell line was obtained by introducing the luciferase gene into the target cell CCRF-CEM followed by screening. After adding fluorescein, luciferase could react with the fluorescein to produce fluorescence. By detecting the intensity of the fluorescence, the activity of luciferase can be measured, and the survival of the cells can be detected so that to evaluate the killing effect of UCAR-T cells.

[0370] The UCAR-T cells prepared in Example 3.3 were mixed with CD-7 positive T cell CCRF-CEM-luc, 100 ul each, in RPMI medium at 1:1 ratio to a density of 1.times.106/ml for each cell, and then cultured for a certain period of time in a 96-well plate. The medium was then collected and subject to centrifuge and the cytokine IFN-.gamma. and IL-2 were detected by Cytokine bead array kit (CBA kit, BD Biosciences). In addition, fluorescein substrate was added to the cell culture to detect the killing effect of the UCAR-T cells. The result shows that UCAR-T has a significant killing effect on CCRF-CEM tumor within 24 hours (FIG. 20).

[0371] The killing effect of UCAR-T on allogeneic T cells: allogeneic T cells were labeled with CFSE and incubated with CAR-T for a predetermined period of time. Then changes in the number of CFSE positive cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The result shows that CAR-T cells efficiently killed allogeneic T cells within 24 hours, which is much shorter than the time for allo-T cell mediated HVG to happen, and thus CAR7 can effectively protect CAR-T cells from allogeneic T cell killing (FIG. 21).

[0372] The 24 hour killing effect of UCAR-T on NK tumor cell line (NK92): NK92 was labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) and incubated with UCAR-T for a predetermined period of time. Then changes in the number of CFSE positive cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, so that to calculate the in vitro killing effect of UCAR-T on NK92 tumor cell line (FIG. 22).

3.5 Proliferation of CAR-T Cells

[0373] IL-2 was removed from CAR-T. CAR-T cells were continuously cultured for 2 weeks and counted twice a week to measure the proliferation.

[0374] The result in FIGS. 23A and 23B shows that CAR7-mb15 and CAR7-C7R CAR-T cells had stronger proliferation rate than CAR7 CAR-T cells, and in absence of IL-2, they still had higher survival ratio within 2 weeks. CAR7-C7R showed better survival than CAR7-mb15. In vitro killing assay indicates that the UCAR-T cells have superior killing effect against T-ALL cell line CCRF-CEM within 7 hours.

3.6 Re-Activation of Cells In Vitro

[0375] IL-2 was removed from UCAR-T. CCRF-CEM was added twice a week at 1:1 effector: target ratio and counted twice a week to measure the proliferation.

[0376] FIGS. 24A and 24B show that after adding CCRF-CEM, CAR7-mb15 and CAR7-C7R UCAR-T cells showed significantly stronger proliferation than CAR7 UCAR-T and CAR7-C7R UCAR-T cells proliferated better than CAR7-mbIL15 UCAR-T cells. After repeated stimulation, UCAR-T cells still showed significant ability to remove tumor cells, indicating after repeated antigen stimulation, the cytokine-related signaling pathway enhanced UCAR-T cells has a higher proliferation rate, and can survive better.

3.7 Proliferation and Efficacy of UCAR-T Cells in Tumor Bearing Mice

[0377] 6-12 weeks NOD/Shi-scid/IL-2R.gamma.null (NOG) mice were selected and intraperitoneally injected with 2.times.10.sup.6 CCRF-CEM-luc cells. Two days later, the tumor graft burden of the mice was measured, and the mice were divided into 5 groups based on the tumor burden. 6 days after the tumor implantation, 1.times.10.sup.6 UCAR-T or control was injected intravenously to each mouse, and the tumor burden was further evaluated every 1-2 weeks. Each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 3 mg D-luciferin for a 4-minutes reaction, and then photographed using a Xenogen IVIS Imaging System with 30 s exposure (BLI). UCAR-T cell number in peripheral blood was counted every week.

[0378] FIG. 25 shows that CAR7-mb15 and CAR7-C7R UCAR-T had significant expansion, and CAR7 UCAR-T did not show any significant expansion. FIG. 26 shows the result of BLI imaging, and it can be seen that CAR7-mb15 and CAR7-C7R UCAR-T cells had better effect on tumor clearance than CAR7 UCAR-T cells.

[0379] FIG. 27 shows BLI images of the mice treated with vehicle control or CAR7 UCAR-T cells with TCR knockout and with or without expression of enhancers. CAR7 UCAR-T cells with TCR knockout and the expression of C7R or mbIL15 exhibited better efficiency on tumor clearance in comparison to vehicle control and TCR KO CAR7 UCAR-T cells without the expression of any enhancers. C7R expressing CAR7 cells showed better tumor control and mouse survival than that expressing mbIL15. As used herein, "CAR7," "CAR7 UCAR-T," or CD7 CAR-T" can be used interchangeably to indicate an engineered CAR-T cell comprising a CAR targeting CD7.

[0380] FIG. 28A BLI imaging shows in vivo function of CD7 CAR-T cells in clearing tumor cells. TCR KO CD7 CAR-T cells with the expression C7R or mbIL15 exhibited better in vivo efficiency on tumor clearance in comparison to vehicle control and TCR KO CD7 CAR-T cells without the expression of any enhancers. FIG. 28B shows animal survival data of the NOG mice treated with TCR KO CD7 CAR-T with or without the expression of enhancer and vehicle control. Percentage of survived mice were measured against days after CAR-T cell infusion. Mice treated with TCR KO CD7 CAR-T with expression of C7R or mbIL15 had a better survival rate in comparison to mice treated with CAR-T cells without the expression enhancer or vehicle control. C7R expressing CAR7 cells showed better tumor control and mouse survival than that expressing mbIL15.

[0381] FIG. 55A shows expansion data of CAR-T cells. Freshly prepared CD7 CAR-T cells expressing C7R were cultured in T cell culture media without supplement of IL2 or antigen stimulation, compared to control cells that do not have C7R or any enhancer expression, CD7 CAR-T cells expressing C7R maintained better expansion and persisted in culture. FIG. 55B shows proliferation of CAR-T cells in the presence of stimulation. CD7 CAR-T (or UCART7), CD7 CAR-T expressing mbIL15 or C7R were repetitively stimulated by CCRF-CEM (CD7+ T-ALL cells). The CD7 CAR-T expressing C7R showed the best persistence and proliferation. CD7 CAR-T expressing mbIL15/C7R stopped proliferation when antigen stimulation was removed at round 6 of stimulation (CC6). "CC," as used herein, indicates co-culture with cancer cells.

3.8 In Vivo GVHD Study

[0382] The mice were systemically treated with a sub-lethal dose of irradiation (175 cGy) first. Then CAR-T cells were re-suspended in PBS and injected into the thorax of the treated mice. The mice were observed 2-3 times a week by using GVHD clinical criteria including weight loss, arch-back, activity, fur texture, and skin integrity.

[0383] The result shows that mice in groups without TCR knockout all showed symptoms of GVHD, however, no GVHD was detected in TCR knockout group.

3.9 Effect of TCR Knockout

[0384] FIGS. 54A-C show the effect of TCR knockout in the CAR-T cells. In an investigator initiated clinical trial, TCR expression in Mesothelin CAR-T cells were impaired to avoid TCR related adverse event. However, TCR KO CAR-T cells unexpectedly showed significant expansion defects after infusion into the patients. FIG. 54A shows example of TCR KO efficiency in autologous Mesothelin (MSLN) CAR+ T cells (left), and CAR+ T cells in patient's peripheral blood CAR-T cells at 13 days post infusion (right). FIG. 54B shows TCR disruption efficiencies in autologous MSLN CAR-T products were highly effective, with less than 5% TCR+ cells remaining in the product. However, after infusion into patients, majority of the CAR-T cells detected in the peripheral blood were TCR+ cells. FIG. 54C shows that TCR+ cells showed 40 to .about.1000 fold more expansion than TCR-cells in cancer patients. Therefore, even in autologous CAR-T applications, where there is no cell survival and expansion pressure from allogeneic killer cells, TCR disruption dramatically impaired CAR-T cell expansion.

[0408] The above CAR genes were cloned into the FUW lentiviral vector backbone under the promoter of EF1.alpha. (EF-1.alpha.) to form Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR. Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR, lentiviral envelope plasmid pMD2.G (Addgene, Plasmid #12259) and lentiviral packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene, Plasmid #12260) were transfected into 293 T cells by using Lipofectamine3000 to prepare the whole lentiviral expression vector. The supernatant was collected at 48 and 72 h and subject to ultra-centrifuge (Merck Millipore) for concentration. The concentrated virus was ready for the transfection of T cells.

[0409] The result shows that expression of RQR8, CAR, IL15R.alpha. or C7R was successfully detected by flow cytometry for RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7, RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R cells; secretion of IL-7 was detected by ELISA. The lentiviral vectors were successfully constructed. All of the structures could be expressed simultaneously without interference with each other.

4.2 Design and Construction of CRISPR

[0410] First, gRNA sequences targeting the exon of the TCR conserved region were designed at http://crispr.mit.edu, and two gRNA sequences with scores above 80 were selected for higher knockout efficiency. For the gRNA primer, the forward primer comprises a T7 promotor followed by 20 bp of the target sequence, and the reverse primer has 20 bp of the complementary sequence. Plasmids were used as PCR template. After purification, T7-PCR product was further used as the template for MEGAshortscript T7 kit to obtain RNA. The RNA was purified with a MEGAclear column and eluted with RNA-free water. Cas9 plasmid was purchased from Addgene.

[0411] The gRNA targeting sequences are as below:

TABLE-US-00024 TRAC-gRNA: SEQ ID NO.: 5 TGTGCTAGACATGAGGTCTA,

[0412] Meanwhile, the knockout efficiency of the gRNA was analyzed by T7E1, TIDE and flow cytometry.

[0413] The result shows that the TCR gene was successfully knocked out with a knockout efficiency of higher than 90%.

4.3 Preparation of CAR-T Cells

[0414] Cell Isolation and Activation

[0415] After apheresis, monocytes were isolated using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich) by density gradient centrifugation. Then T cells were enriched, activated by magnetic beads coupled with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, cultured and expanded.

[0416] X-vivo 15 with 5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 300 IU/ml rhIL2 was used as CAR-T cell medium. The cells were incubated and cultured at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2.

[0417] Cell line expressing CD 19: Raji (Burkitt's lymphoma cell line, ATCC-CCL86); K562 cells (Human erythroleukemia cell line, ATCC-CCL243); Raji-ffluc cell line was obtained by screening Raji cells transfected with lentivirus having firefly luciferase;

[0418] All of the cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium and 293T cells (ATCC-CRL3216) were cultured in DMEM medium. Both RPMI1640 and DMEM were supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate.

[0419] Electroporation

[0420] Two days after enriching and activating the T cells, the anti-CD3/anti-CD28 magnetic beads were removed and the cells were collected into a tube. Cas9 and gRNA as needed were mixed, incubated at room temperature and then transferred to electroporation buffer to further mix with the cells for electroporation by 4D-Nucleofector System N (Lonza) system. Then the cells were re-suspended in a pre-warmed medium to a density of 1-2.times.10.sup.6/ml, transferred to a plate and cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2.

[0421] Lentiviral Transfection

[0422] 1 day after electroporation, the cells were transfected by lentiviral vector at MOI of 2-8, transferred to a flask and cultured at 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2.

[0423] Cell Proliferation and Detection of CAR Positive Ratio

[0424] 3 days after the transfection, the number of cells and CAR positive cells were detected, and the positive ratio of CAR in T cells was calculated. The positive ratio of CD3 was also detected to determine the knockout efficiency. Then cells were continuously cultured in the incubator and half of the medium was replaced every 2-3 days till day 14 when the cells were ready for cryopreservation.

[0425] The result shows that that expression of RQR8, CAR, IL15R.alpha. or C7R was successfully detected by flow cytometry for RQR8-CD19CAR-mbIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-mbIL15-IL7, RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T; secretion of IL-7 was detected by ELISA. The CD3 negative ratio was higher than 90%, indicating that the TCR knockout CAR-T with enhanced cytokine-related signaling pathway and the safety switch was successfully constructed, and each of the elements does not interfere with each other.

4.4 Release of the Cytokines

[0426] The CAR-T cells prepared in Example 3 and CD19 positive tumor cells (Raji, NALM6), 100 ul each, were mixed in RPMI medium at 1:1 ratio to a density of 1.times.10.sup.6/ml for each cell, and then cultured overnight in a 96-well plate. The medium was collected and subject to centrifuge and the released cytokine IFN-.gamma. and IL-2 were detected by Cytokine bead array kit (CBA kit, BD Biosciences).

[0427] The result shows that incubation of RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7, RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T cells with Raji, NALM6 produced a large amount of IFN-.gamma. and IL-2, indicating function of the cytokine-related signaling pathway enhanced CART against CD19 positive target cells, and the secretion of cytokines by the cytokine-related signaling pathway enhanced CART was increased compared to conventional CAR-T.

4.5 Expression of CD107a after Co-Culture of CAR-T Cells with the Target Cells

[0428] 2*10.sup.5 CAR-T/NT cells and 2*10.sup.5 target cells (Raji, NALM6)/control cells (K562) were added to a v-bottom 96 well plate, and re-suspended in 200 .mu.l X-VIVO complete medium without IL-2. 11 BD GolgiStop(containing monesin) was added to each 1 ml medium and 2 .mu.l CD107a antibody (1:50) was added to each well. The cells were then cultured at 37.degree. C. for 4 hours and further subject to collection.

[0429] The sample was centrifuged to remove the medium, washed once with PBS, and then centrifuged at 400 g, 4.degree. C. for 5 minutes. The supernatant was removed and specific surface antibodies CAR, CD3, CD4, and CD8 were added to each tube. Then the cells were re-suspended in 100 .mu.l and put on ice for 30 minutes in dark.

[0430] Each tube was washed once with 3 mL PBS, and then the sample was centrifuged at 400 g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was carefully removed and the pellet was re-suspended in PBS. CAR, CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD107a were detected by flow cytometry.

[0431] The result shows that incubation of RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7, RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T cells with Raji, NALM6 produced a large amount of CD107a, indicating function of the cytokine-related signaling pathway enhanced CART against CD19 positive target cells in vitro.

4.6 In Vitro Killing Activity

[0432] A stably transfected cell line was obtained by introducing the luciferase gene into the target cell followed by screening. The CAR-T cells prepared in Example 3 were mixed with CD19-positive tumor cells (Raji-luc, NALM6-luc) at different effector: target ratios. After adding fluorescein, luciferase could react with the fluorescein to produce fluorescence. By detecting the intensity of the fluorescence, the activity of luciferase can be measured, and the survival of the cells can be detected so that to evaluate the killing effect of CART cells.

[0433] The result shows that RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7, RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T cells significantly killed Raji and NALM6, and the cytokine-related signaling pathway enhanced CART showed a more significant killing effect, which is correlated with the effector: target ratio.

4.7 Proliferation of CAR-T Cells

[0434] IL-2 was removed from CAR-T. CAR-T cells were continuously cultured for 2 weeks and counted twice a week to measure the proliferation.

[0435] The result shows that RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7, RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T cells had stronger proliferation rate than CD19 CAR-T. Without IL-2, they still had high survival ratio after 2 weeks. CFSE showed certain proliferation and CD19 CAR-T could not survive after 2 weeks.

4.8 Re-Activation of Cells In Vitro

[0436] IL-2 was removed from CAR-T. K562-CD19 was added twice a week at 2:1 effector: target ratio. The cells were cultured for 2 weeks and counted twice a week to measure cell proliferation

[0437] The result shows that after adding K562-CD19, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7, RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T cells showed significantly stronger proliferation rate than CD19 CAR-T. After the stimulation, the cell survival ratio was higher than CD19 CAR-T, indicating the cytokine-related signaling pathway enhanced CART has a higher proliferation rate, and can survive better.

4.9 In Vivo Efficacy

[0438] 6-12 weeks NOD-Prkdcscid Il2rgnull (NOG) mice were selected and intraperitoneally injected with 2.times.10.sup.5 Raji-ffluc cells, 50 .mu.L DPBS and 50 .mu.L matrigel matrix (Corning). Two days later, the tumor graft burden of the mice was measured, and the mice were divided into 4 groups based on the tumor burden. One day later, 200 .mu.L DPBS, 5.times.10.sup.6 NT cells, 5.times.10.sup.6 CD19 CAR-T cells, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7, RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T cells were respectively injected to each mouse. The tumor burden of the mice was further evaluated 7 days after the CAR-T treatment. Each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 3 mg d-luciferin for a 4-minutes reaction, and then photographed by using a Xenogen IVIS Imaging System with 30 s exposure.

[0439] The result shows that after two weeks, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7 and RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T cells significantly decreased the tumor burden compared to NT and CD19 CAR-T cells, and T cells could still be detected in peripheral blood. Mice in the cytokine-related signaling pathway enhanced CART groups overall had longer survival.

4.10 In Vivo GVHD Study

[0440] The mice were systemically treated with a sub-lethal dose of irradiation (175 cGy) first. Then CAR-T cells were re-suspended in PBS and injected into the thorax of the treated mice. The mice were observed 2-3 times a week by using GVHD clinical criteria including weight loss, arch-back, activity, fur texture, and skin integrity.

[0441] The result shows that mice in the group without TCR knockout all showed symptoms of GVHD reaction, and no GVHD reaction was detected in TCR single knockout CAR-T cell groups.

4.11 Clearance of 11 RQR8 Gene-Mediated CAR-T Cells

[0442] NK cells were isolated from PBMCs as effector cells, and 1:1 co-cultured with CAR-T, with or without rituximab (Rutiximab) at a final concentration of 10 g/mL. 4 h and 24 h later, the expression CAR was detected by flow cytometry.

ADCC percentage=(1-monoclonal antibody group CAR positive ratio/no antibody group CAR positive ratio)*100%

[0443] The results show that, 4 h and 24 h later, NK cells significantly cleared RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15, RQR8-CD19CAR-MBIL15-IL7 and RQR8-CD19CAR-C7R CAR-T cells in the presence of Rutiximab, but failed to clear CD19 CAR-T. Without Rutiximab, NK failed to kill any of the cells. This indicates that Rutiximab can function as a safety switch, which binds to RQR8, and allows NK to mediate the ADCC function so that to clear CART cells.

Example 5 Study of U-CAR T Cells Expressing E3

[0444] FIG. 30 shows an example design of CAR-T cells expressing of enhancer E3. In E3, the ecto domain of C7R is replaced by a safety switch, such as EGFRt or Her2t or other peptides described in the present disclosure.

[0445] FIG. 31 shows flow cytometry data of fractions of CAR-T cells expressing CD19 CAR and the enhancer C7R or E3.

[0446] FIGS. 32A and 32B show in vitro killing activity of CAR-T cells toward HeLa cells expressing a CD19 antigen. FIG. 32A shows in vitro killing activity of CD19 CAR-T cells expressing C7R or E3 in comparison with target only or T cell controls. The effector: target ratio in this experiment is 5:1. FIG. 32B shows in vitro killing activity of CD19 CAR-T cells expressing C7R or E3 in comparison with target only or T cell controls. The effector: target ratio in this experiment is 1:1.

[0447] FIGS. 33A and 33B show expression of phosphorylated STAT5 (pSTAT5) and CD19 CAR in the tested engineered cells. FIG. 33A shows flow cytometry data of fractions of CAR-T cells expressing CD19 CAR and pSTAT5. FIG. 33B shows corresponding mean fluorescent index (MFI) of pSTAT5 of the data in FIG. 33A.

[0448] FIGS. 34A-C show proliferation data of CD19 CAR-T cells expressing C7R or E3 in comparison to CD19 CAR-T without enhancer. FIG. 34A shows cytokine independent proliferation of the three different cells. FIG. 34B shows proliferation under repeated NALM6 stimulations. FIG. 34C shows percentage of CAR-T cells before and after the stimulation by NALM6. CAR stimulation enriched CAR+ cells.

[0449] FIG. 35A shows flow cytometry data of fractions of CAR-T cells co-cultured with NK cells at different effector: target ratios in the presence or absence of Cetuximab (CTX, anti-EGFR Antibody). The data showed that in the presence of CTX, the CD19 CAR-T expressing E3 can be effectively killed by NK cells via NK Cell-Mediated Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC), indicating that E3 functions as an effective safety switch and has been effectively turned off. FIG. 35B shows the total killing activity of NK cells toward other cells. FIG. 35C shows the killing activity of NK cells toward CAR-T cells.

[0450] FIGS. 36A and 36B show test of safety switch by ADCC after repeated stimulation. FIG. 36A shows flow cytometry data of fractions of CAR-T cells co-cultured with NK cells at different effector: target ratios in the presence or absence of CTX.

FIG. 56B shows 6-hour cytotoxicity of TCR KO CD7 CAR-T cells expressing CD7 CAR and enhancer C7R or E3 (EGFRt+IL7R.alpha.) toward CCRF-CEM cells. The effector: target ratios tested in this experiment are 5:1 and 1:1. FIG. 56C shows proliferation of TCR KO CD7 CART cells expressing C7R or E3 (EGFRt+IL7R.alpha.). The CAR-T cells were cultured in T cell culture media without supplement of IL2 and monitored for fold of cell expansion. The results show that TCR KO CD7 CART cells expressing C7R or E3 displayed better cell expansion and cell stability than control T cells. E3 (EGFRt+IL7R.alpha.) has better enhancer expression and thus maintained better cell persistence and expansion than C7R. FIG. 56D shows flow cytometry data of fractions of TCR KO CD7 CAR-T cells expressing phosphorylated STAT5 (pSTAT5) and C7R or E3. pSTAT5 was highly upregulated in TCR KO CD7 CAR-T cells expressing C7R or E3. CAR19 plus IL2 stimulation were used as positive control for pSTAT5. FIG. 56E shows corresponding mean fluorescent index (MFI) of pSTAT5 of the data in FIG. 56D.

[0466] NK92-ffluc cells (obtained by screening NK92 cells transfected with lentivirus having firefly luciferase);

[0467] Raji cells, Raji-ffluc cell line, and K562 cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium, and 293T cells were cultured in DMEM medium. Both RPMI1640 and DMEM were supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. All of the cells were cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% Co.sub.2.

[0468] NK92 cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1% NEAA, 0.1 mM mercaptoethanol and 200 IU/ml rhIL2.

[0469] T cells and the obtained CAR-T cells were cultured in X-vivo15 medium (containing 5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 300 IU/ml rhIL2). The culture medium for CAR-T cells was further supplemented with rhIL-2 (ThermoFisher Scientific) at a final concentration of 300 IU/ml every two days. All of the cells were cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2.

6.1 Design and Construction of CRISPR

[0470] CD7, CD2, TCR gRNAs for gene editing were selected after evaluating gene editing efficiency and off-target risk at website http://crispr.mit.edu, www.idtdna.com and https://www.synthego.com. gRNAs used in the present disclosure were either synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc (IDT) or prepared by in vitro transcription (See Shi et al., 2017, J Vis Exp. doi: 10.3791/55267). HiFi-Cas9 was purchased from IDT.

[0471] For gene editing, 3 .mu.g Cas9 protein and 1.5 .mu.g gRNA were mixed in 20 .mu.l and incubated at 37.degree. C. or room temperature for 15 minutes to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP). Then RNP was transfected into T cells by Lonza 4D Nucleofector. Gene knockout efficiency was determined by the ratio of the cells expressing the protein as detected by flow cytometry.

[0472] gRNA targeting sequences used are as below:

TABLE-US-00027 SEQ ID NO: 20 TRAC-gRNA1: TTCGGAACCCAATCACTGAC, SEQ ID NO: 21 TRAC-gRNA2: TCAGGGTTCTGGATATCTGT, SEQ ID NO: 22 TRAC-gRNA3: AAGTTCCTGTGATGTCAAGC, SEQ ID NO: 25 CD7-gRNA1: GAGGTCAATGTCTACGGCTC, SEQ ID NO: 26 CD7-gRNA2: ATCACGGAGGTCAATGTCTA, SEQ ID NO: 27 CD7-gRNA3: GTAGACATTGACCTCCGTGA, SEQ ID NO: 28 CD7-gRNA4: GGAGCAGGTGATGTTGACGG, SEQ ID NO: 29 CD2-gRNA1: CAAAGAGATTACGAATGCCT, SEQ ID NO: 30 CD2-gRNA2: GTGCCACAAAGACCATCAAG, SEQ ID NO: 31 CD2-gRNA3: AGAGGGTCATCACACACAAG, SEQ ID NO: 32 CD2-gRNA4: CTTGTAGATATCCTGATCAT,

[0473] After screening, gRNA with high knockout efficiency was found for each gene and high efficiency was also observed when knocking out two genes, TCR/CD7 or TCR/CD2, wherein TRAC-gRNA2 and CD7-gRNA1 are gRNAs with high knockout efficiencies. FIG. 16 shows efficiencies of CD7 knockout by using different CD7-gRNAs with TRAC-gRNA1, and CD7-gRNA1 and CD7-gRNA4 were obviously better, and CD7-gRNA1 was used in subsequent experiments.

6.2 Design of CD7 CAR and Package of the Virus

[0474] The scFv of the CD7 single CAR is derived from TH69, 3Ale and SDZCHH380 antibodies. The scFv in the CAR is designed as 3Ale-LH, TH69-LH, SDZ-LH, SDZ-HL. The amino acid sequence of the CAR is as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 75-78.

[0475] The CAR gene was cloned into the FUW lentiviral vector backbone under the promoter of EF1.alpha. (EF-1.alpha.) to form Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR. Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR, lentiviral envelope plasmid pMD2.G (Addgene, Plasmid #12259) and lentiviral packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene, Plasmid #12260) were transfected into 293 T cells by using Lipofectamine3000 or PEI to prepare the whole expression vector. The supernatant was collected at 48 and 72 h and subject to ultra-centrifuge (Merck Millipore) for concentration. The concentrated virus was ready for the transfection of T cells.

6.3 Preparation of CAR-T Cells

[0476] Cell Isolation and Activation

[0477] After apheresis, monocytes were isolated using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich) by density gradient centrifugation. Then T cells were enriched, activated by magnetic beads coupled with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, cultured and expanded.

[0478] X-vivo 15 with 5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 300 IU/ml rhIL2 was used as CAR-T cell medium. The cells were incubated and cultured at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2.

[0479] Cell line expressing CD 19: Raji (Burkitt's lymphoma cell line, ATCC-CCL86); K562 (ATCC-CCL243); Raji-ffluc and NK92 cell lines was obtained by screening cells transfected with lentivirus having firefly luciferase;

[0480] Cell line expressing CD7 and CD2: Jurkat cell, CCRF-CEM and NK92 cells.

[0481] All of the cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium and 293T cells (ATCC-CRL3216) were cultured in DMEM medium. Both RPMI1640 and DMEM were supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate.

[0482] Electroporation and Lentivirus Infection

[0483] Two days after enriching and activating the T cells, the anti-CD3/anti-CD28 magnetic beads were removed and the cells were collected into a tube and subject to centrifuge at 300 g for 5 min, and then washed twice with DPBS and re-suspended in opti-mem at a cell density of 50.times.10.sup.6/ml. The amount of cas9/gRNA RNP required was calculated based on the density of the cells, and then mixed with cells and transferred for electroporation by 4D-Nucleofector System N (Lonza) system. Then the cells were re-suspended in a pre-warmed medium to a density of 1-2.times.10.sup.6/ml. The cells were further subject to lentiviral transfection at MOI of 2-8, transferred to a flask and cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% Co.sub.2.

[0484] Cell Proliferation and Detection of CAR Positive Ratio

[0485] 3 days after the transfection, the number of cells and CAR positive cells were detected, and the positive ratio of CAR in T cells was calculated. The positive ratio of TCR (or CD3), and CD7 was also detected to determine the knockout efficiency. Then the cells were continuously cultured in the incubator and half of the medium was replaced every 2-3 days till day 10 when the cells were ready for cryopreservation.

6.4 Screening of CD7 CAR Structure

[0486] As shown in FIG. 38A, the expression of anti-CD7 CAR was successfully detected, among which TH69-LH shows the strongest expression, followed by 3Ale-LH, then SDZ-LH, and SDZ-HL. In terms of function, as shown in FIG. 38B, 3Ale-LH, CARs all showed the best killing effects on CD7-positive T cells, while TH69-LH, SDZ-LH and SDZ-HL CARs were less effective. Therefore, the scFv of 3Ale was selected for CD7 CAR in the dual CAR.

[0492] We compared two Loop CARs (L719-LHLH and L719-HLHL) and two Tandem CARs (T197-LHLH and T197-LHLH-(EAAAK3)3), where CAR7 and CAR19 were used as single CAR control, and Mock T was a negative control. As shown in FIG. 39, the expression of the two Loop dual CARs was diagonally distributed, indicating successful expression of the dual CARs. CD19 CAR of the Tandem dual CARs showed strong expression, however, CD7 CAR was weakly detected. FIG. 40 shows the knockout efficiencies of CD7 and CD3 (TRAC), and it can be seen that in Mock T and CAR19, the knockout efficiencies were up to 98%. In the other two groups including CD7 single CAR and CD7/CD19 dual CAR, the ratio of CD7+ cells was significantly lower than those in Mock T and CAR 19 groups, indicating the function of CD7 CAR.

[0493] 2) In vitro killing effects of dual CARs on CD19+ cells and CD7+ cells

[0494] First, we compared the killing effects of different CARs on CD 19 target. xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analyzer (RTCA) experiment showed that two Loop CARs and two Tandem CARs both had potent killing effects on HeLa-CD19+ cells, similar as CD19 single CAR (CAR19) (FIG. 41).

[0495] Subsequently, we compared the killing effects of different CARs on CD7+NK cells from peripheral blood (FIG. 42A). In vivo expanded PBNK cells (ratio of CD7+ cell was .about.80%) were labelled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE), and incubated with CAR-T cells for 1 day. Then the cells were subject to flow cytometry to analyze the change in ratio of CFSE positive cells. FIG. 42A shows that dual CARs and CD7 single CAR had significant killing effects on NK cells, and CD19 single CAR and Mock T did not show any killing effect. FIG. 42B shows that CD7+ cells in NK almost disappeared after co-culturing with dual CARs (L719-LHLH and T197-LHLH), indicating CAR7 and dual CARs completely killed the CD7+ cells in NK.

[0496] Furthermore, we compared the killing effects of different CARs on allogeneic T cells (CD7+) (FIG. 43). The result shows that the allogeneic T cells were completely killed by CAR7 and dual CARs, while CAR19 did not show any killing effect on allogeneic T cells.

[0497] 3) In vivo clearance of CD19+ Raji tumor by dual CARs

[0498] Each mouse was inoculated intravenously with 3.times.10.sup.5 tumor cells. 6 days later, CAR-T cells were intravenously infused (3.times.10.sup.6 cells per mouse). BLI imaging indicates that Loop CARs and Tandem CARs both cleared Raji tumors to certain extent, and L719-LHLH showed the best in vivo tumor control (FIG. 44).

6.7 Test for Dual CAR Structure-2

[0499] Two other Tandem dual CAR structures: T719-LHLH and T719-LHHL were designed and compared with Loop CAR (L719-LHLH, also named as L719).

[0500] FIGS. 45A and 45B show that new Tandem dual CARs were successfully expressed (FIG. 45A), and also had significant killing effects on the remaining CD7+ cells after gene knockout (FIG. 45B).

[0501] Real-time Cell Analysis (RTCA) shows that (FIG. 46), Tandem dual CARs had similar killing effects on HeLa-CD19 cells as L719.

[0502] FIGS. 47A and 47B shows that, Tandem dual CARs also had similar strong killing effects on allogeneic T cells and NK cells as L719 over 24 hours.

[0503] FIG. 48 shows that L719 and Tandem (T719-LHLH and T719-LHHL) dual CARs both greatly cleared the CCRF-CEM tumors in vivo (CCRF-CEM intravenous model in NOG mice).

6.8 Release of the Cytokines

[0504] The dual CAR-T cells prepared in Example 6.3 and CD19 positive tumor cells (Raji), CD7 positive tumor cells (Jurkat) or primary allogeneic PBMCs or NK, 100 ul each, were mixed in RPMI medium at 1: 1 ratio to a density of 1.times.10.sup.6/ml for each cell, and then cultured overnight in a 96-well plate. The medium was then collected and subject to centrifuge and the released cytokine IFN-.gamma. and IL-2 were detected by Cytokine bead array kit (CBA kit, BD Biosciences).

[0505] The result shows that incubation of CD19-CD7 CAR-T cells with Raji, Jurka, primary allogeneic PBMCs or NK cells produces a large amount of IFN-.gamma. and IL-2, indicating function of CAR-T against CD19 positive or CD7 positive target cells.

6.9 In Vivo GVHD Study

[0506] The mice were systemically treated with a sub-lethal dose of irradiation (175 cGy) first. Then CAR-T cells were re-suspended in PBS and injected into the thorax of the treated mice. The mice were observed 2-3 times a week by using GVHD clinical criteria including weight loss, arch-back, activity, fur texture, and skin integrity.

[0507] The result shows that mice without TCR knockout showed GVHD symptoms, however, no GVHD was detected in the CD7-CD19 CAR-T+TCR/CD7double knockout group.

6.10 In Vitro HVG Study

[0508] CD7 CAR can effectively and rapidly clear CD7+ cells, and in vitro experiments showed that allogeneic T cells did not display significant rejection on CAR-T cells expressing CD7 CAR, but displayed strong rejection on CAR-T cells expressing CAR19 only.

[0509] The allogeneic NK cells showed significantly less rejection on CAR-T cells expressing CD7 CAR than CAR-T cells without CD7 CAR.

6.11 Clearance of CAR-T Cells by AP1903 or Rapamycin

[0510] 10 nM AP1903 or Rapamycin was added to the medium of rapaCasp9-L719 CAR-T (sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 86) cells. 1, 6 and 24 hours later, apoptosis and survival of the CAR-T cells were detected by flow cytometry.

[0511] The result shows that AP1903 and Rapamycin rapidly cleared rapaCasp9-L719 CAR-T cells but fails to clear CD19 control CART, indicating the specificity of the safety switch.

[0512] Safety switch functions of E3 in L719-E3 cells were determined by 24 hr Complement dependent cytotoxicity assay (CDC assay). Briefly, TCR/CD7 double knockout L719-E3 cells or L718-E2 cells were incubated in media containing 0%, 5% or 25% donor serum. 24 hr CDC effects were examined by adding 5 or 50 ug/ml of Cetuximab(CTX). Rituximab (RTX), which targeting CD20, was used as negative control. As shown in FIGS. 61A and 61B, L719-E3 cells were specifically lysed by cetuximab in the presence of serum (FIG. 61A), and no CDC effect was observed in L719-E2 cells without EGFRt or CD20 extracellular domain (FIG. 61B).

[0513] Safety switch functions of E3 in TCR/CD7 double knockout CAR7-E3 cells or L719-E3 cells were further determined by Complement dependent cytotoxicity assay (CDC assay). Cells were incubated in media containing 0%, 5% or 25% Guinea pig serum. Then CDC effects were detected in the presence of 5 ug/ml of Cetuximab. As shown in FIG. 62A, the CDC effects corresponded to the concentrations of the serum (complement), and were specific for E3 expressing CAR7-E3 cells but not control T cells. The CDC effects were also examined on L719-E3 cells in the presence of either 5 ug/ml Cetuximab or Herceptin. As shown in FIG. 62B, the CDC effects were only observed in the presence of Cetuximab.

6.12 Cytokine Receptor C7R or E3 Enhanced the Function of Dual CAR

[0514] To further enhance the survival of the universal CAR-T cells in vivo, a constitutive signal factor IL7 receptor (C7R) or E3 was linked to the L719 dual CAR by 2A to activate the pSTAT5 signaling pathway. FIG. 50A shows the expression of CD19 and CD7 antigen binding domains in L719 and L719-C7R dual CAR-T cells. FIG. 50B shows cytotoxicity of L719 dual CAR-T cells with or without C7R expression toward HeLa cells expressing CD7 (HeLa-CD7). FIG. 50C show cytotoxicity of L719 dual CAR-T cells with or without C7R expression toward HeLa cells expressing CD19 (HeLa-CD19). The effector: target ratio tested in FIGS. 50B and 50C is 4:1. FIGS. 50B and 50C show that both L719 and L719-C7R effectively killed HeLa-CD7 and HeLa-CD19. FIG. 50D shows flow cytometry data of fractions of L719 dual CAR-T cells expressing both an enhancer (C7R or E3) and CD7. FIG. 50E shows 6-hour cytotoxicity data of L719 dual CAR-T cells expressing C7R or E3 toward NALM6 cells. The effector: target ratios tested in this experiment are 5:1 and 1:1. FIG. 50F shows 6-hour cytotoxicity data of L719 dual CAR-T cells expressing C7R or E3 toward CCRF-CEM cells. The effector: target ratios tested in this experiment are 5:1 and 1:1. FIG. 50G shows flow cytometry data of fractions of L719 dual CAR-T cells expressing phosphorylated STAT5 (pSTAT5) and C7R or E3. pSTAT5 was highly upregulated in L719 dual CAR-T cells expressing C7R or E3. CAR19 plus IL2 stimulation were used as positive control for pSTAT5. Non-engineered T cells were used as negative control for pSTAT5. FIG. 50H shows proliferation of L719 dual CAR-T cells expressing C7R or E3 after IL-2 removal. The CAR-T cells were treated with two rounds of stimulations by NALM6 cells.

[0515] FIG. 50I shows cytotoxicity of L719 dual CAR-T cells expressing E3 (L719-E3) toward CD19 expressing HeLa cells (HeLa-CD19). The L719-E3 cells were compared with control groups including target cells only, non-transduced TCR/CD7 double knockout cells (NT-DKO), and CD19 CAR-T cells, and L719-E3 showed better cytotoxicity toward HeLa-CD19 cells. The effector: target ratio tested in this experiment is 5:1. FIG. 50J shows cytotoxicity of L719 dual CAR-T cells expressing E3 (L719-E3) toward CD7 expressing HeLa cells (HeLa-CD7). The L719-E3 cells were compared with control groups including target cells only, non-transduced TCR/CD7 double knockout cells (NT-DKO), and CD19 CAR-T cells, and L719-E3 showed better cytotoxicity toward HeLa-CD7 cells. The effector: target ratio tested in this experiment is 5:1.

[0516] FIGS. 63A and 63B show the expression of IL2 and IFN-.gamma. in TCR/CD7 double knockout CAR7 cells with no cytokine signaling enhancement, or with mbIL15, C7R, or E3 expression. Cells were stimulated by CCRF-CEM cells at 1:1 effector: target cell ratio for 24 hours. Supernatant were collected and measured for IL12 and IFN.gamma. expression by cytokine bead array. As shown in FIG. 63A, CAR7 cells expressing C7R and E3 showed enhanced IL-2 production.

[0517] FIG. 64 shows the expression of IL2 and IFN-.gamma. in TCR/CD7 double knockout CD19/CD7 dual CAR-L719 cells with no cytokine signaling enhancement, or with C7R, or E3 expression.

[0518] Cells were stimulated by CCRF-CEM cells at 1:2 effector: target cell ratio for 24 hours. Supernatant were collected and measured for IL12 and IFN.gamma. expression by cytokine bead array. As shown in FIG. 64, CAR7 cells expressing C7R showed enhanced IL-2 production.

6.14 Proliferation of CD19 and CD7 Dual Specific CAR-T Cells

[0520] FIG. 57A shows proliferation of CD19 and CD7 dual specific CAR-T cells expressing C7R (GC197-C7R). The engineered dual specific CAR-T cells were prepared from two different T cell donors. CAR-T cells from both donors displayed superior persistence and proliferation in response to repetitive cancer antigen stimulation. FIG. 57B shows proliferation of GC197-C7R cells without stimulation. Freshly prepared GC197-C7R were cultured in T cell culture media without supplement of IL2 or antigen stimulation, compared to control T cells, GC197-C7R maintained better expansion, and persisted in culture.

[0521] FIG. 58A shows expression of CD7 CAR and enhancer in GC197-C7R and GC197-E3 at day 12 of cell culture. FIG. 58B shows proliferation of GC197 cells expressing C7R (GC197-C7R) or E3 (GC197-E3) without stimulation. GC197-C7R or GC197-E3 cells were cultured in T cell culture media without supplement of IL2 and monitored for fold of cell expansion and persistence. FIG. 58C shows proliferation of GC197-C7R and GC197-E3 in the presence of antigen stimulation. The cells were repeated stimulated by Nalm6 (CD19+ B-ALL cell line) and monitored for fold of cell expansion. The data showed that GC197-C7R/E3 displayed comparably superior cell expansion and cell stability either with or without cytokine or antigen stimulation.

6.15 In Vivo Efficacy

[0522] FIG. 69 shows BLI imaging of the in vivo efficacy of L719 and L719-C7R UCAR-T in Nalm6 (B-ALL) murine xenograft model. Each mouse was inoculated intravenously with 1.times.10.sup.6 Nalm6 cells. Four days later, CAR-T cells were intravenously infused (high dose: 1.times.10.sup.6 or low dose: 3.times.10.sup.5 cells per mouse). BLI imaging indicates L719-C7R UCAR-T cells had better effect on tumor clearance than L719 UCAR-T cells.

[0532] Raji cells, K562 cells and Raji-ffluc cell line were cultured in RPMI1640 medium, and 293T cells were cultured in DMEM medium. Both RPMI1640 and DMEM were supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. All of the cells were cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% Co.sub.2.

[0536] The CAR gene was cloned into the FUW lentiviral vector backbone under the promoter of EF1.alpha. (EF-1.alpha.) to form Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR. Fuw-EF1.alpha.-CAR, lentiviral envelope plasmid pMD2.G (Addgene, Plasmid #12259) and lentiviral packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene, Plasmid #12260) were transfected into 293 T cells by using Lipofectamine3000 to prepare the whole lentiviral expression vector. The supernatant was collected at 48 and 72 h and subject to ultra-centrifuge (Merck Millipore) for concentration. The concentrated virus was ready for the transfection of T cells.

[0537] The result shows that the lentiviral vector was successfully constructed and expressions of anti-CD19 and anti-CD19/CD137 of the dual CAR were detected as expected.

7.2 Design and Construction of CRISPR

[0538] CD137 and TCR gRNAs for gene editing were selected after evaluating gene editing efficiency and off-target risk at website http://crispr.mit.edu, www.idtdna.com and https://www.synthego.com. gRNAs used in the present disclosure were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc (IDT). HiFi-Cas9 was purchased from IDT.

[0539] For gene editing, 3 .mu.g Cas9 protein and 1.5 .mu.g gRNA were mixed in 20 .mu.l and incubated at 37.degree. C. or room temperature for 15 minutes to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP). Then RNP was transfected into T cells by Lonza 4D Nucleofector. Gene knockout efficiency was determined by the ratio of the cells expressing the protein as detected by flow cytometry.

[0540] gRNA targeting sequences used are as below:

TABLE-US-00035 SEQ ID NO: 20 TRAC-gRNA1: TTCGGAACCCAATCACTGAC, SEQ ID NO: 21 TRAC-gRNA2: TCAGGGTTCTGGATATCTGT, SEQ ID NO: 22 TRAC-gRNA3: AAGTTCCTGTGATGTCAAGC, SEQ ID NO: 45 CD137-gRNA1: AACGTGGCATCTGTCGACCC, SEQ ID NO: 46 CD137-gRNA2: GCGCTGGAGAAACTATTTGG, SEQ ID NO: 47 CD137-gRNA3: ACATTTAACGATCAGAAACG, SEQ ID NO: 48 CD137-gRNA4: GGTCCTTTGTCCACCTGCGC, SEQ ID NO: 49 CD137-gRNA5: GAGAAACTATTTGGAGGACA, SEQ ID NO: 50 CD137-gRNA6: GGAGAAACTATTTGGAGGAC,

[0541] After screening, gRNA with high knockout efficiency was found for each gene and high efficiency was also observed when knocking out two genes, TCR/CD137.

7.3 Preparation of CAR-T Cells

[0542] Cell Isolation and Activation

[0543] After apheresis, monocytes were isolated using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich) by density gradient centrifugation. Then T cells were enriched, activated by magnetic beads coupled with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, cultured and expanded.

[0544] X-vivo 15 with 5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 300 IU/ml rhIL2 was used as CAR-T cell medium. The cells were incubated and cultured at 37.degree. C., 5% CO2.

[0545] Allogeneic T cells were activated by using anti-CD3/anti-CD28 magnetic beads.

[0546] Allogeneic PBNK cells were activated by co-culturing K562 cells with PBNKs.

[0547] The expression of CD137 on the cell surface before and after the activation was determined by flow cytometry.

[0548] Electroporation and Lentivirus Infection

[0549] Two days after enriching and activating the T cells, the anti-CD3/anti-CD28 magnetic beads were removed and the cells were collected into a tube and subject to centrifuge at 300 g for 5 min, and then washed twice with DPBS and re-suspended in opti-mem at a cell density of 50.times.10.sup.6/ml. The amount of cas9/gRNA RNP required was calculated based on the density of the cells, and then mixed with cells and transferred for electroporation by 4D-Nucleofector System N (Lonza) system. Then the cells were re-suspended in a pre-warmed medium to a density of 1-2.times.106/ml. The cells were further subject to lentiviral transfection at MOI of 2-8, and then transferred to a flask and cultured in an incubator at 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2.

[0550] Cell Proliferation and Detection of CAR Positive Ratio

[0551] 4 days after the transfection, the number of cells and CAR positive cells were detected, and the positive ratio of CAR in T cells was calculated. The positive ratio of TCR (or CD3) and CD137 was also detected to determine the knockout efficiency. Then cells were continuously cultured in the incubator and half of the medium was replaced every 2-3 days till day 10 when the cells were ready for cryopreservation. An example workflow is shown in FIG. 53.

[0552] The result shows that positive ratio of CAR and negative ratio of CD3 were both high in the prepared CD19-CD137 CAR-T cells.

7.4 In Vitro Killing Effect and Release of the Cytokines

[0553] The dual CAR-T cells prepared in Example 7.3 and CFSE labeled CD19 positive tumor cells (Raji) and CD137 positive cells (activated allogeneic T cells or activated allogeneic PBNK or NK92), 100 ul each, were mixed in RPMI medium at 1:1 ratio to a density of 1.times.10.sup.6/ml for each cell, and then cultured from overnight to 1 week in a 96-well plate. The number of CAR-T cells and CFSE-labeled target cells was detected by flow cytometry, so that to determine the killing effect between CAR-T cells and target cells during co-culture. Furthermore, the co-culture medium was also collected and subject to centrifuge and the released cytokine IFN-.gamma. and IL-2 were detected by Cytokine bead array kit (CBA kit, BD Biosciences).

[0554] The result shows that incubation of CD19-CD137 CAR-T cells with Raji, allo-T or allo-NK cells produces a large amount of IFN-.gamma. and IL-2, indicating function of CAR-T against CD19 positive or CD137 positive target cells. The flowcytometry result also indicates that the killing effects of allo-T and allo-NK on CD19-CD137 dual CAR T cells were significantly less than that on CD19 single CAR T cells.

[0555] Additional experiments show that CD19-CD137 dual CAR T cells only clear CD137 positive cells and NK cells, but fails to show any significant killing effect on CD137 negative inactivated T cells or NK cells, indicating the specificity of CD137 CAR.

7.5 In Vivo Efficacy

[0556] 6-12 weeks NOD/Shi-scid/IL-2R.gamma.null (NOG) mice were selected and intravenously injected with 2.times.10.sup.5 Raji-ffluc cells and allo-T cells. 5 days later, the tumor graft burden of the mice was measured, and the mice were divided into 4 groups based on the tumor burden. One day later, 200 .mu.L DPBS, 0.5.times.10.sup.6 CD19 CAR-T cells and 0.5.times.10.sup.6 CD19-CD137 CAR-T cells were respectively injected to each mouse. The tumor burden of the mice was further evaluated every 7 days after the CAR-T treatment. Each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 3 mg d-luciferin for a 4-minutes reaction, and then photographed using a Xenogen IVIS Imaging System with 30 s exposure.

[0557] The result shows that CD19-CD137 CAR-T significantly decreased the tumor burden compared to CD19 CAR-T cells, and CD19-CD137 CAR-T cells showed significant better in vivo expansion than CD19 CAR-T cells, indicating the CD19-CD137 CAR-T cells survive better and have a stronger ability to clear CD19 positive tumor cells in vivo.

7.6 In Vivo GVHD Study

[0558] The mice were systemically treated with a sub-lethal dose of irradiation (175 cGy) first. Then CAR-T cells were re-suspended in PBS and injected into the thorax of the treated mice. The mice were observed 2-3 times a week by using GVHD clinical criteria including weight loss, arch-back, activity, fur texture, and skin integrity.

[0559] The result shows that mice without TCR knockout all showed GVHD symptoms, however, no GVHD was detected in the TCR/CD137 dual knockout CD19-CD137 CAR-T cell group.

Example 8 Study of U-CAR T Cells Expressing E4

[0561] FIG. 59A shows flow cytometry data of fractions of CD19 CAR-T cells expressing enhancer CD47 (CAR19-CD47) or E4 (CAR19-E4). In the E4 design, the ecto domain of C7R is replaced by the ecto domain from an immune cell inhibitor, such as CD47, CD24 or other peptides that inhibit killer or phagocytic immune cell function and protect therapeutic cells. The CAR19-CD47 or CAR19-E4 was expressed in K562 cells, which lacks MHCI/II expression and are very sensitive to NK cell killing due to lack of MHC expression. Expression of CAR19 and CD47 were analyzed by flow cytometry. FIG. 59B shows NK cell killing activity toward CAR19-CD47 and CAR19-E4 cells. Both CD47 and E4 were able to reduce the extent of NK cell killing for K562 cells. The data show that E4 may protect MHCI negative cells from killing by NK cells, which may be used in protection of MHCI KO CAR-T cells.

[0562] FIG. 60A shows flow cytometry data of fractions of TCR KO CD19 CAR-T cells expressing CD19 and phosphorylated STAT5 (pSTAT5). The CAR19-CD47 or CAR19-E4 was expressed in TCR knockout T cells and accessed for CAR expression and STAT5 phosphorylation. CAR19-E2 and CAR19-CD47 plus IL2 stimulation were used as positive controls. E4 mediates up-regulation of pSTAT5. FIG. 60B shows proliferation of TCR KO CD19 CAR-T cells expressing enhancer CD47 (CAR19-CD47) or E4 (CAR19-E4). The CAR19-CD47, CAR19-E4, CAR19-C7R expressing TCR knockout T cells were compared for cell proliferation and cell survival without IL12 supplement. E4 can mediate stronger cell proliferation as well as maintenance of cell number after removal of IL2 in culture media. The E4 maintains better CAR-T cell stability without IL2 addition. E4 may protect therapeutic cells, such as cells that with HLA-I KO, from NK cell killing or killing by phagocytes and T killer cells.

[0563] Sequence of construct design: the etco domain of C7R can replaced by an immune cell inhibitor, such as truncated CD47, CD24, that can inhibit a killer or phagocytic immune cell function and protect the CAR-T/NK cells from being attached by patient's immune system.

Example 9 Clinical Data of CAR7-C7R for Treating T-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) Patients

[0565] This example provides clinical study designs and clinical data using CAR7-C7R. Patients were enrolled with tumor burden at the enrollment that 38.2% of bone marrow cells were T-ALL cells. Before infusing the CAR7-C7R cells, the patients were treated with pre-conditional regimen. The pre-conditional regimen used chemotherapy drug including fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and etoposide for lymphodepletion. The pre-conditional regimen can provide better CAR-T engraftment and tumor clearance. Two days after completion of lymphodepletion regimen, CAR7-C7R cells were intravenously infused into patients at 1.5.times.10.sup.7/kg. CAR7-C7R rapidly eliminated cancer cells (T-ALL cells) and expanded to the peak around 7-10 days, without affecting innate immune cell subsets such as granulocytes and monocytes. Once cancer cells were completely cleared in both the peripheral blood and in the bone marrow, CAR7-C7R cells very quickly return to minimal level, which allows patients' own immune system to start recovery immediately after cancer cell clearance. T cells and NK cells then gradually recover to normal levels.

[0566] FIGS. 67A-E show the clinical data of CAR7-C7R for treating T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patients. The construct of CAR7-C7R used in the clinical studies is shown in FIG. 17. FIG. 67A shows the kinetics of T-ALL elimination in the peripheral blood. T-ALL cells were quickly eliminated within 7-10 days. T-ALL cell concentration were measured in the peripheral blood by flow cytometry. FIGS. 67B and 67C shows the CAR7-C7R cell expansion kinetics, where FIG. 67B shows the CAR7-C7Rcell concentration in the peripheral blood and FIG. 67C shows CAR7-C7R DNA copy/ug DNA of peripheral blood cells. FIGS. 67D and 67E show the granulocyte and lymphocyte (T and NK cells) recovery in the bone marrow and in peripheral blood.
