Abstract
Provided herein are chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), such as those specific for BCMA, that have improved properties, including increased CAR T cell binding to BCMA and improved CAR T cell killing of BCMA-expressing cancer cells. Use of the CARs in immune cells (e.g., T cells), compositions (e.g., CARs and nucleic acid constructs encoding the same), and methods are also contemplated.
Claims10

- 1-3;
- a heavy chain complementarity determining region 2 (CDRH2) comprising any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 4-6;
- a heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDRH3) comprising any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 7-9;
- a light chain complementarity determining region 1 (CDRL1) comprising SEQ ID NO:
- 11;
- a light chain complementarity determining region 2 (CDRL2) comprising any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 12-15;
- and
- a light chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDRL3) comprising any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 16-18.
