Antigen responsive antibody-fluorescent dye conjugate and method for fluorescence detection and imaging of target cell using the same
The present invention relates to an antibody-fluorescent dye conjugate capable of cancer cell-specific fluorescence imaging diagnosis. The fluorescent dye comprises a covalently labeled antibody and is quenched by interaction with an amino acid residue such as tryptophan, tyrosine, histidine, and methionine in the antibody and upon binding of the antibody to an antigen present on a cell surface to emit fluorescence, whereby cells having a target antigen thereon can be imaged for diagnosis. When using the antibody-fluorescent dye conjugate according to the present invention during in vitro cell assays, high-throughput screening of cells, and cytodiagnosis based on microfluidics, the presence of cancer cells having a specific antigen expressed thereon can be detected at high specificity and sensitivity without a washing process, and the position of primary and metastatic cancer cells can be detected at high contrast within a short time.
ANTI-CD44 SINGLE-CHAIN ANTIBODY AND USE THEREOF IN PREPARING DRUG FOR TREATING TUMOR
The disclosure relates to an anti-CD44 single-chain antibody and use thereof in preparing a drug for treating a tumor. The amino acid sequence of the anti-CD44 single-chain antibody includes a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. T lymphocytes expressing the anti-CD44 single-chain antibody provided in the present disclosure can specifically kill CD44-positive tumor cells and have high specificity as well as strong killing ability.
ANTI-TIM3 SINGLE-CHAIN ANTIBODY AND USE THEREOF IN PREPARING MEDICINE FOR TREATING TUMOR
The disclosure relates to an anti-TIM3 single-chain antibody. The amino acid sequence of the anti-TIM3 single-chain antibody is a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. T lymphocytes expressing the anti-TIM3 single-chain antibody can effectively kill tumor cells.
Cell-associating immunologic adjuvants for treatment enhancement
This disclosure provides treatment kit that are capable of modulating the immune response. The treatment kit may also be used enhance the immunogenicity of antigens released from cell debris. Also provided are methods of using the treatment kit.
CELL ENGINEERING USING RNAs
The invention concerns the field of cell culture technology. It concerns RNA having a specific sequence, expression vectors encoding said RNA, production host cell lines comprising said RNA, and methods of producing recombinant biopharmaceutical products using engineered host cell with altered levels of said RNAs, such as small non-coding RNAs, preferably microRNAs (miRNAs). The invention also relates to engineered host cells with altered levels in one or more of said RNAs. Those cell lines have improved secretion and/or growth characteristics in comparison to control cell lines.
CAR NK CELLS
A method of manufacturing of Natural Killer (NK) Cells genetically modified with lentiviral vectors carrying a polynucleotide coding for a Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs). CAR-NK cells obtained with the method, and the use of the CAR-NK cells in medicine, in particular for use in a method of treating cancer is also disclosed.
SENSOR FOR LIQUID BIOPSY AND ITS METHOD OF MAKING, AND METHOD OF NON-INVASIVE LIQUID BIOPSY
A sensor for liquid biopsy, its method of making, and its method of non-invasive use. The sensor includes a substrate with a surface functionalized with biotinylated antibodies. The biotinylated antibodies are arranged to engage with surface proteins on exosomes associated with malignant cancer cells such as glioma cells.
COMBINATION OF A GLYCOSYLATION INHIBITOR WITH ONE CAR CELL THERAPY FOR TREATING CANCER
The present invention relates to at least one glycosylation inhibitor for use in combination with CAR cell therapy. Preferably, the glycosylation inhibitor improves the therapeutic potential of the CAR cell therapy. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition and to population or subpopulation of CAR cell that has been contacted with at least one glycosylation inhibitor.
ABERRANT CELL-RESTRICTED IMMUNOGLOBULINS PROVIDED WITH A TOXIC MOIETY
Described are immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety, comprising at least an immunoglobulin variable region that specifically binds to an MHC-peptide complex preferentially associated with aberrant cells. These immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety may be used in selectively modulating biological processes. These immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety are of particular use in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diseases related to cellular aberrations, such as cancers and autoimmune diseases.
