T CELLS EXPRESSING A RECOMBINANT RECEPTOR, RELATED POLYNUCLEOTIDES AND METHODS

Abstract:

Provided herein are methods for engineering immune cells, cell compositions containing engineered immune cells, kits and articles of manufacture for targeting nucleic acid sequence encoding a portion of a recombinant receptor, e.g., a recombinant T cell receptor (TCR), to a particular genomic locus and/or for modulating expression of the gene at the genomic locus, and applications thereof in connection with cancer immunotherapy, such as adoptive transfer of engineered T cells. In some aspects, the nucleic acid sequence integrates in-frame into the locus of a receptor encoding gene, and in some aspects, results in expression of the whole recombinant receptor.
