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.
