The invention is directed to T cells and other cells that express chimeric NK-p30 receptors (“chimeric NKp30 T cells”), methods of making and using chimeric NKp30 T cells, and methods of using these chimeric NKp30 T cells to address diseases and disorders. In one aspect, the disclosure broadly relates to chimeric NKp30 T cells, isolated populations thereof, and compositions comprising the same. In another aspect, said chimeric NKp30 T cells are further designed to express a functional non-TCR receptor. The disclosure also pertains to methods of making said chimeric NKp30 T cells, and methods of reducing or ameliorating, or preventing or treating, diseases and disorders using said chimeric NKp30 T cells, populations thereof, or compositions comprising the same.
1-394. (canceled)
A nucleic acid construct that encodes a chimeric receptor, or a cell containing said nucleic acid construct, wherein said nucleic acid construct comprises a promoter operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a chimeric NKp30 receptor comprising an NKp30 extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and at least one signaling domain, wherein (i) said transmembrane domain comprises a transmembrane domain of a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of NKp30, CD28, CD8, CD3ζ, CD27, 41BB, OX40, and DAP12, and (ii) said at least one signaling domain comprises a signaling domain of a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of NKp30, CD28, CD8, CD31w DAP10, CD27, 41BB, OX40, and DAP12, wherein at least one transmembrane (TM) domain or at least one signaling domain is from a polypeptide other than NKp30.
