Claims (38)

1. A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising

(a) an anti-MUC1* antibody fragment wherein the anti-MUC1* antibody fragment comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region that has complementarity determining regions (CDRs) in the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region as follows:

CDR1 heavy chain SEQ ID NO: 123,

CDR1 light chain SEQ ID NO: 173,

CDR2 heavy chain SEQ ID NO: 127,

CDR2 light chain SEQ ID NO: 177,

CDR3 heavy chain SEQ ID NO: 131, and

CDR3 light chain SEQ ID NO: 181; and

(b) a T cell receptor co-stimulatory domain.

2. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable region comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 145 and the light chain variable region comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 195.

3. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable region comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 145 and the light chain variable region comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 195.

4. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable region comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 145 and the light chain variable region comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 195.

5. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 145 and the light chain variable region comprises the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 195.

6. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region are connected by a linker.

7. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 6 , wherein the linker comprises the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 402.

8. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the anti-MUC1* antibody fragment comprises a single chain variable fragment (scFv).

9. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 8 , wherein the scFv comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 90% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 239, 241, 243, or 398.

10. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 8 , wherein the scFv comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 95% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 239, 241, 243, or 398.

11. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 8 , wherein the scFv comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 98% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 239, 241, 243, or 398.

12. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 8 , wherein the scFv comprises an amino acid sequence according to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 239, 241, 243, or 398.

13. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the T cell receptor co-stimulatory domain comprises a cytoplasmic domain of CD3-zeta, CD27, CD28, 4-1BB, OX40, CD30, CD40, PD-1, ICAM-1, LFA-1, ICOS, CD2, CD5, CD7, or Fc receptor gamma domain.

14. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the T cell receptor co-stimulatory domain comprises a cytoplasmic domain of CD3-zeta.

15. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the T cell receptor co-stimulatory domain comprises a cytoplasmic domain of 4-1BB.

16. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 1 , wherein the T cell receptor co-stimulatory domain comprises a cytoplasmic domain of CD3-zeta and a cytoplasmic domain of 4-1BB.

17. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 16 , wherein the cytoplasmic domain of CD3-zeta comprises an amino acid sequence with at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 374.

18. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 16 , wherein the cytoplasmic domain of 4-1BB comprises an amino acid sequence with at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 380.

19. The chimeric antigen receptor of claim 16 , wherein the T cell receptor co-stimulatory domain comprises the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO: 374 and SEQ ID NO: 380.
