A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240026376A1) outlines a therapeutic composition involving engineered human T-cells that have been modified to lose surface expression of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C. These modified T-cells also have inhibited expression of beta 2-microglobulin (B2M) and at least one gene encoding a component of the T-cell receptor (TCR) inactivated. The patent further details a method for preparing these engineered T-cells, involving the introduction of a rare-cutting endonuclease to selectively inactivate the gene encoding B2M, resulting in the loss of surface expression of B2M, HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C.

Additionally, the patent describes a method for immunotherapy utilizing the engineered human T-cells expressing a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) that have lost surface expression of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C. This method involves inactivating the gene encoding B2M through the expression of a rare-cutting endonuclease and administering the therapeutic composition to a human patient. The patent also specifies the use of a TALE-nuclease encoded by specific polynucleotides and targets for cleaving the B2M gene, as well as the percentage of engineered T-cells required in the composition and the specific target antigen for the Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CD19).
