ANTI-IDE ANTIBODIES AND USES OF SAME
Isolated anti-IDE antibodies are provided. Each of the antibodies comprise an antigen recognition domain comprising the indicated CDR amino acid sequences. Methods of producing same, methods of using same, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same and articles of manufacture are also provided.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED NATURAL KILLER CELLS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
This disclosure describes genetically engineered natural killer (NK) cells, pharmaceutical compositions that include these NK cells, and methods of making and using these NK cells.
SIZE-BASED DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION OF FUNCTIONAL BIO-NANOPARTICLES
Sized-based detection techniques for detection of bio-nanoparticles are described. Detection nanoparticles and methods of forming the detection nanoparticles that can be utilized in the techniques are described. Detection nanoparticles can include modified bacteriophage that express a linking agent for a specific binding agent. Detection nanoparticles can bind a functional bio-nanoparticle with high specificity through specific binding of one or more entities unique to the functional bio-nanoparticle of interest. A detection nanoparticle can target an entity of a bio-nanoparticle that is relevant to its function, and as such, the methods can provide improvements in detection of complete and functional bio-nanoparticles. Size-based detection regimes can include particle displacement measurement techniques based upon Brownian motion.
NR4A-DEFICIENT CELLS EXPRESSING C-JUN AND USES THEREOF
The present disclosure provides methods of promoting a persistent effector function of immune cells, comprising modifying the cells to overexpress c-Jun and reduced levels of a NR4A gene and/or protein. Also provided are modified cells, e.g., immune cell, which have been modified to overexpress c-Jun and express reduced levels of NR4A gene and/or protein. Overexpressing c-Jun and simultaneously reducing expression levels of a NR4A gene and/or protein leads to exhaustion/dysfunction resistant cells, which are apoptosis resistant and also immune checkpoint resistant, and also to the maintenance of anti-tumor function in tumor microenvironments.
IL12 RECEPTOR AGONISTS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The present disclosure relates to IL12 receptor agonists with improved therapeutic profiles.
METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CAR-T CELLS
Methods for manufacturing genetically engineered T cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), such as a CAR that binds human CD19, BCMA, or CD70, and having multiple additional gene edits, for example, a disrupted Regnase-1 gene, a disrupted TGFBRII gene, a disrupted TRAC gene, a disrupted β2M gene, or a combination thereof, using CRISPR/Cas gene editing systems.
METHODS FOR ENGINEERING ALLOGENEIC AND HIGHLY ACTIVE T CELL FOR IMMUNOTHERAPHY
The present invention relates to methods for developing engineered T-cells for immunotherapy that are non-alloreactive. The present invention relates to methods for modifying T-cells by inactivating both genes encoding T-cell receptor and an immune checkpoint gene to unleash the potential of the immune response. This method involves the use of specific rare cutting endonucleases, in particular TALE-nucleases (TAL effector endonuclease) and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides, to precisely target a selection of key genes in T-cells, which are available from donors or from culture of primary cells. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies for treating cancer and viral infections.
Antibodies against ENPP3 and uses thereof
Disclosed herein are antibodies against ENPP3 and uses thereof, specifically monoclonal antibodies against ENPP3, bispecific antibodies against ENPP3 and CD3, nucleic acids including nucleotide sequences encoding the antibodies, vectors including the nucleic acids, and host cell including the nucleic acids or the vectors. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions and conjugates including the antibodies, and therapeutic methods for using the antibodies.
Anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD-1 bifunctional antibody, pharmaceutical composition thereof and use thereof
An anti-CTLA4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4) and anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death 1) bifunctional antibody. a pharmaceutical composition thereof and use thereof. Particularly, the anti-CLTA4 and anti-PD-1 bifunctional antibody comprises a first protein functional domain that targets PD-1 and a second protein functional domain that targets CTLA-4. The bifunctional antibody can bind to CTLA-4 and PD-1 specifically, relieve immunosuppression of CTLA4 and PD-1 on an organism specifically, activate T lymphocytes, and thus has good application prospects.
Regulatable chimeric antigen receptor
Compositions and methods relating to regulatable chimeric antigen receptors (RCARs), where the intracellular signaling or proliferation of the RCAR can be controlled to optimize the use of an RCAR-expressing cell to provide an immune response, are provided. For example, a RCAR can comprise a dimerization switch that, upon the presence of a dimerization molecule, can couple an intracellular signaling domain to an extracellular recognition element, e.g., an antigen binding domain, an inhibitory counter ligand binding domain, or costimulatory ECD domain. An RCAR can be engineered to include an appropriate antigen binding domain that is specific to a desired antigen target and used in the treatment of a disease.
