Design and Assessment of Novel Anti-CD30 Chimeric Antigen Receptors with Human Antigen-Recognition Domains.

ABSTRACT: Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are artificial fusion proteins that incorporate antigen-recognition domains and T cell signaling domains. CD30 is a cell surface protein expressed on Hodgkin's lymphoma, some T cell lymphomas, and some B cell lymphomas. CD30 has a restricted expression pattern in normal cells, so CD30 has good potential as a clinical target for CAR T cells. We compared three different anti-CD30 CAR designs incorporating a single-chain variable fragment derived from the 5F11 fully human monoclonal antibody. 5F11-28Z has hinge, transmembrane, and costimulatory domains from CD28 and a CD3ζ T cell activation domain. 5F11-CD828Z has hinge and transmembrane domains from CD8α, a CD28 costimulatory domain, and a CD3ζ T cell activation domain. 5F11-CD8BBZ is identical to 5F11-CD828
