Provided herein are combinations of an IL-2 molecule or mutein and a TNFR agonist, and complexes comprising IL-2/TNFR agonist molecules, such as Fc-bound IL-2/TNFR agonist molecules that preferentially expand and activate T regulatory cells and are amenable to large scale production. Also provided herein are methods of making and using the compositions of the present invention.

The present disclosure relates to engineered T cells and methods of making and using the same, as well as reagents for making the engineered T cells.

An isolated cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL), said CTL being a tolerance inducing cell and substantially depleted of alloreactivity, and wherein said CTL does not comprise a central memory T-lymphocyte (Tcm) phenotype, the CTL being transduced to express a cell surface receptor comprising a T cell receptor signaling module, is disclosed. Methods of generating same and using same are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to methods employing soluble multivalent activating agents for the selective in vitro and ex vivo activation and expansion γδ T-cell population(s), including specific γδ T-cell subpopulation(s) of interest and admixtures thereof, and methods for using the same for therapeutic purposes. Methods and compositions of the disclosure are useful in the treatment of various cancers, infectious diseases, and immune disorders.

Chimeric antigen receptors containing CD123 antigen binding domains are disclosed. Nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, antigen binding fragments, and pharmaceutical compositions, relating to the chimeric antigen receptors are also disclosed. Methods of treating or preventing cancer in a subject, and methods of making chimeric antigen receptor T cells are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to artificial antigen presenting cell (aAPC) scaffolds to provide cells with specific functional stimulation to obtain phenotypic and functional properties ideal to mediate tumor regression or viral clearance. In particular, the scaffolds of the present invention comprise antigens, such as peptide-MHC (pMHC) class I molecules, and specific combinations of cytokines and co-stimulatory molecules to allow effective expansion and functional stimulation of specific T cells.

The present disclosure relates to genetically modified B cells, including memory cells, differentiated to plasmablasts or plasma cells useful for long tem in vivo expression of a transgene, such as a specific antibody or other protein therapeutic. Also disclosed are methods of producing the cells and methods of treatment.

The invention relates to a method for activating and expanding NKT-like cells in vitro. The method according to the present invention utilizes nucleated somatic cells derived from allogeneic or heterologous subjects to activate and proliferate NKT-like cells of a subject in vitro, and can increase the overall number of the NKT-like cells, the expression of activation markers and the number of killing effector molecules.

Provided herein are methods of producing natural killer (NK) cells using a three-stage expansion and differentiation method with media comprising stem cell mobilizing factors. Also provided herein are methods of suppressing tumor cell proliferation using the NK cells and the NK cell populations produced by the three-stage methods described herein, as well as methods of treating individuals having cancer or a viral infection, comprising administering the NK ce3lls and the NK cell populations produced by the three-stage methods described herein to an individual having the cancer or viral infection.

In some aspects, the invention relates to compositions comprising marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (“MILs”). The MILs may be activated MILs. In some aspects, the invention relates to methods for activating MILs, comprising incubating MILs in an environment comprising less than 21% oxygen. In some aspects, the invention relates to methods for treating cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising activated MILs.
