METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION FOR DIAGNOSING OR PREDICTING PROGNOSIS OF CANCER BY MEASURING EXPRESSION LEVEL OF TIM-3 IN CD11B+ CELLS
The present invention relates to a method for providing information for cancer diagnosis or prognosis prediction by measuring the expression level of TIM-3 in CD11b+ cells.
In addition, the present invention relates to a composition for cancer diagnosis or prognosis prediction comprising an agent for measuring the expression level of TIM-3 in CD11b+ cells or uses thereof.
Since glial TIM-3 responds positively and uniquely to brain tumors and has specific intracellular and intercellular immune modulatory roles that may differ from TIM-3 in brain tumor microenvironment T cells, it can be effectively used in a composition or a method for providing information for cancer diagnosis or prognosis prediction.
METHOD FOR SELECTING ANTIBODY FRAGMENTS, RECOMBINANT ANTIBODIES PRODUCED THEREFROM, AND USES THEREOF
Disclosed herein are methods for selecting an antibody fragment specific to an influenza virus. According to certain embodiments of the present disclosure, the influenza virus may be influenza virus type A (IAV) or influenza virus type B (IBV). Also disclosed herein are the selected antibodies, recombinant antibody produced from the selected antibodies, and the uses thereof in the diagnosis of influenza virus infection.
VARIANT NUCLEIC ACID LIBRARIES FOR GLYCANS
Provided herein are methods and compositions relating to glycan libraries having nucleic acids encoding for a scaffold comprising a glycan domain. Glycan libraries described herein encode for immunoglobulins such as antibodies.
Phage engineering: protection by circularized intermediate
The present disclosure provides methods of generating recombinant bacteriophage genomes. Specifically, the present technology provides methods of integrating a heterologous nucleic acid sequence into a linear bacteriophage DNA genome, and isolating recombinant bacteriophages that express the heterologous nucleic acid sequence.
T-CELL RECEPTOR NEOANTIGEN INTERACTION ANALYSIS VIA MICROFLUIDICS
The present invention provides compositions, systems, kits, and methods for analyzing the interaction of T-cells and neoantigen presenting cells (and other cells) via discrete entity (e.g., droplet) microfluids. In certain embodiments, a microfluidic device is used to merge a discrete entity containing a T-cell, and a discrete entity containing a neoantigen presenting cell, at a merger region via a trapping element in order to generate a combined discrete entity. In particular embodiments, at least one thousand of such combined discrete entities are formed in about one second. In some embodiments, whether the receptor on the T-cell sufficiently binds the neoantigen to activate the T-Cell is detected (e.g., via detection of cytokine or granzyme B release). In certain embodiments, provided herein are methods for identifying polyfunctional T-cells or NK-cells, as well as methods of screening for such cells that would be cytotoxic if injected into a subject.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR T-CELL RECEPTOR IDENTIFICATION
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for identifying target-reactive T-cell receptors (TCRs). The identification may be based on comparing the frequency of a TCR before and after a marker-based selection. The identification may also be based on comparing the frequency of a TCR in a pool of cells stimulated by mutant and wildtype antigens.
Antibody phage display library
The present invention discloses a naïve antibody phage display library (APDL), a process for producing the same and a method of obtaining manufacturable antibodies as soluble Fabs from the antibody phage display library.
Scalable method for isolation and sequence-verification of oligonucleotides from complex libraries
A novel method for preparing sequence-verified oligonucleotides is disclosed. In particular, the invention relates to a simple, affordable, and scalable method that combines high-throughput mating of yeast clones, a unique selectable system for combining DNA sequences in yeast, and next-generation sequencing. This method allows sequence-verified oligonucleotides to be readily isolated from complex libraries.
Magnetic-based biopanning method through attachment of magnetic bead to cell
The present invention relates to a method for screening an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof by using cells bearing magnetic beads and, more particularly, to a method for screening an antibody binding specifically to an antigen protein or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, in which cells having biotinylated phospholipids in the cell membranes thereof and a streptavidin-magnetic bead complex fused to the surfaces thereof, and a magnetic-based system are utilized.
