Abstract

The present disclosure provides bispecific chimeric antigen receptors targeting CD20 and BCMA. The CAR may comprise an scFv targeting CD20 and an scFv targeting BCMA, a hinge region, a transmembrane domain, a co-stimulatory region, and a cytoplasmic signaling domain. The chimeric antigen receptors can be used to treat autoimmune disorders or cancer.

Claims (6)

1. A bispecific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), comprising an anti-CD20 antigen-binding region and an anti-BCMA antigen-binding region, wherein the bispecific CAR comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:26.

2. An immune cell comprising the bispecific CAR of claim 1 .

3. The immune cell of claim 2 , wherein the immune cell is a T cell or a natural killer (NK) cell.

4. A nucleic acid sequence encoding the bispecific CAR of claim 1 .

5. A vector comprising the nucleic acid sequence of claim 4 .

6. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising the immune cell of claim 2 .
