Provided herein are chimeric receptors, including chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), comprising BCMA-binding molecules, including anti-BCMA antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, including heavy chain variable (V) regions and single-chain antibody fragments, and encoding polynucleotides. In some embodiments, the anti-BCMA chimeric receptors specifically bind to BCMA. Among the anti-BCMA-binding molecules are human antibodies, including those that compete for binding to BCMA with reference antibodies, including a non-human reference antibody. Also provided are genetically engineered cells expressing the CARs and uses thereof including in adoptive cell therapy.

Chimeric antigen receptors specific for B-cell maturation antigen and encoding polynucleotides

Provided herein are immunomodulatory polypeptides containing first and second submits of a cytokine or a chemokine connected by a joining region containing a targeting moiety that binds to a target molecule. In some aspects, the disclosure further relates to engineered cells and compositions comprising the immunomodulatory polypeptides and methods for their administration to subjects. In some embodiments, the cells engineered to contain the immunomodulatory polypeptide, such as T cells, further contain a genetically engineered antigen receptor that specifically binds to antigens, such as a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). In some embodiments, features of the polypeptides, engineered cells, and methods provide for improved treatment of diseases or disorders, such as by reducing adverse effects of cytokine or chemokine therapy, or increasing activity, efficacy and/or persistence or decreasing immunogenicity of adoptive cell therapy.

Immunomodulatory polypeptides and related compositions and methods

Provided are receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1)-binding molecules, in particular, to human antibodies specific for ROR1, including antibody fragments. The present disclosure further relates to recombinant receptors, including chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that contain such antibodies or fragments, and polynucleotides that encode the antibodies, antigen-binding fragments or receptors specific for ROR1. The disclosure further relates to genetically engineered cells, containing such ROR1-binding proteins and receptors, and related methods and uses thereof in adoptive cell therapy.

Antibodies and chimeric antigen receptors specific for receptor tyrosine kinase like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1)

Provided herein are BCMA-binding molecules, including anti-BCMA antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof such as heavy chain variable (VH) regions and single-chain antibody fragments, and chimeric receptors comprising the anti-BCMA binding molecules such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). In some embodiments, the anti-BCMA antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof specifically bind to BCMA-1. Among the anti-BCMA antibodies are human antibodies, including those that compete for binding to BCMA with reference antibodies, such as a non-human reference antibody. Also provided are genetically engineered cells expressing the CARs or BCMA-binding molecules and uses thereof such as in adoptive cell therapy.

Antibodies and chimeric antigen receptors specific for B-cell maturation antigen

Provided herein are chimeric receptors, such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), comprising BCMA-binding molecules, such as anti-BCMA antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, such as heavy chain variable (V) regions and single-chain antibody fragments, and encoding polynucleotides. In some embodiments, the anti-BCMA chimeric receptors specifically bind to BCMA.
