Chemically Induced Dimerization(CID) System

Chemically induced dimerization (CID) is a biological system used to study protein interactions and signal transduction pathways. In CID systems, individual protein units are engineered to contain specific domains that will only interact and form a functional protein complex when exposed to a certain chemical or drug. This ability to control the assembly and activity of a protein complex gives researchers precise control over cellular processes. At Creative Biolabs, we utilize a CID system to control the expression of the cytokine receptor in CAR-T therapies. This method could potentially be a more efficient and safer method of CAR-T cell activation.

Design of CID-cytokine Receptor Chimera at Creative Biolabs

In the context of T cells, a cytokine receptor can be used as the third signal for activation. The CID-cytokine receptor chimera enables the precise control of cytokine receptor expression to regulate immune responses. It helps in controlling associated immunotherapeutic treatments with CAR-T cells. The dimerization event should also be reversible so that the activation of the T cells can be tightly controlled.

The CID-cytokine receptor chimera approach is advantageous as it allows for better control over CAR-T cell therapies by offering an external 'switch' to modulate therapy activity. At Creative Biolabs, we offer the design and construction services of CID-cytokine receptor chimera. Our team of experts works closely to develop a custom CID-cytokine receptor chimera, which utilizes the CID system to control the expression of the cytokine receptor, serving as the third signal for T cell activation.

A CID-cytokine receptor chimera typically consists of three main components: a CID domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain of cytokine receptor. Our service includes the construction of a CID-cytokine receptor chimera featuring your desired cytokine receptor. The construction of this chimera involves cloning the gene of the cytokine receptor of your interest into a vector containing a CID system.

FAQ

What's the primary advantage of CID-Cytokine Receptor Chimera over simple suicide genes?

Unlike irreversible suicide genes causing permanent cell loss, CID chimeras offer reversible, tunable control over T-cell function/proliferation for activity fine-tuning and toxicity reduction without eliminating therapeutic cells.

Which cytokine receptors are commonly integrated into chimeras, and why?

Domains from IL-7R, IL-12R, or IL-15R are frequent. These provide "signal 3" for T-cell proliferation/survival, and CID control ensures expansion only with ligand, preventing uncontrolled growth.

What precautions for dimerizing agent use in preclinical settings?

Ensure ligand concentration achieves desired dimerization without off-target effects. Our service includes dose-response studies to define the therapeutic window for precise chimera regulation.
