The present invention provides an expression vector, host cells, methods and kits for the treatment or prevention of a coronavirus infection in a subject.

The present invention provides an antigenic composition for use as a mycobacterial vaccine, said composition comprising (i) a first mycobacterial antigenic polypeptide, wherein said first mycobacterial antigenic polypeptide comprises a polypeptide sequence having at least 70% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, 12, 2, 18, 8, 10, 16, 4, or a fragment thereof having at least 50 consecutive amino acids thereof; or (ii) a first mycobacterial polynucleotide, wherein said first mycobacterial polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding said first mycobacterial antigenic polypeptide, or wherein said first mycobacterial polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide sequence selected from SEQ ID NO: 5, 11, 1, 17, 7, 9, 15, 3.

Disclosed are yeast-based immunotherapeutic compositions comprising Brachyury antigens, and methods for the prevention and/or treatment of cancers characterized by the expression or overexpression of Brachyury.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions related to therapy for cancer. More specifically, the disclosed methods and compositions are related to the use of smallpox vaccine to induce an effective anti-tumor immune response.

A tolerogenic composition for use in a method of treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) in a MS patient exhibiting T-cell autoreactivity against an endogenous epitope corresponding to a T-cell epitope comprised in the amino-acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, the composition comprising a therapeutic T-cell epitope comprising a sequence of 8 consecutive amino acid residues differing from a sub-sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5 by 0-2 residue substitutions, deletions and/or insertions, or the composition comprising a nucleic acid encoding said therapeutic T-cell epitope. A method for determining the degree of multiple sclerosis (MS) related autoimmunity in a test subject, comprising providing a test sample derived from the test subject comprising viable T-cells; quantitating antigen-specific activation of the T-cells of the test sample in vitro in response to a test antigen comprising a T-cell epitope, wherein said T-cell epitope is as the above therapeutic T-cell epitope above; and comparing the quantitated antigen-specific activation to a relevant reference to determine the degree of MS-related autoimmunity in the test subject.

The present invention relates to the treatment of autoimmune and allergic diseases by oromucosal administration of a formulation consisting of an optimized combination of antigen, tolerizing agent and mucoadhesive carrier for each immune disease indication.

Provided herein are methods of treating a hematological disorder, a solid tumor, or an infectious disease in a subject in need thereof using natural killer cells in combination with a second agent, or using natural killer cells with genetic modifications for target specificity and/or homing specificity.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions related to therapy for cancer. More specifically, the disclosed methods and compositions are related to the use of smallpox vaccine to induce an effective anti-tumor immune response.

The present invention pertains to immunology, biomedicine field, specifically relates to a method for prevention or treatment of one or more of diseases relevant to the protein in the protein-cell conjugate, malignant tumors, infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms and autoimmune diseases. The method includes a step of administering to a subject in such need a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of a protein-cell conjugate, the said protein-cell conjugate is a conjugate formed by covalently linking a protein and a cell to a linker, respectively; the cell has free sulfhydryl groups distributed on its surface, when the cell is not linked to the linker; the linker is derived from a bifunctional cross-linking agent, and the bifunctional cross-linking agent comprises both a group capable of reacting with an amino group and a group capable of reacting with a sulfhydryl group.

Provided herein are compositions, methods, and kits for the treatment of cancer. The disclosure also provides compositions, methods, and kits that suppress adverse events caused by anticancer therapy.
