The field of the present invention relates to immunotherapeutic peptides, peptide binding agents, and their use, for example, in the immunotherapy of cancer.

The present invention is directed to ligand like a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), comprising an antigen binding domain specific for one or more antigens selected from the group consisting of CLA, CD142, CD73, CD49c, CD66c, CD104, CD318 and TSPAN8; cell populations expressing such CARs and the use of the cell populations for cancer therapy.

Provided are CCT5-binding molecules, including anti-CCT5 antibodies and antigen- binding fragments thereof such as heavy chain variable (VH) regions and single-chain antibody fragments, and conjugates comprising the anti-CCT5 binding molecules such as immunoconjugates and antibody-drug conjugates, and chimeric receptors comprising the anti-CCT5 binding molecules such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). In some embodiments, the anti-CCT5 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof specifically bind to CCT5. Also provided are genetically engineered cells expressing the CARs or CCT5-binding molecules and uses thereof such as in adoptive cell therapy.

Provided herein, in some embodiments, are methods and compositions (e.g., cell compositions) for the treatment of cancer.

The application is directed a method of treating a cancer in subject by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of polymorphonuclear leukocytes genetically modified to express a recombinant chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or T cell receptor (TCR). Further provided are modified polymorphonuclear leukocytes and related compositions for use in such methods.

The field of the present invention relates to immunotherapeutic peptides, peptide binding agents, and their use, for example, in the immunotherapy of cancer.

In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for determining the responsiveness of an individual to vaccination, like viral vaccination or for the determination of viral vaccine efficacy in an individual as well as a method for the stratification of the vaccination regimen, e.g. viral vaccination, in an individual based on determining the level or the amount of at least one of IL-8 or IL-18 in a sample; said sample is obtained from an individual at least once before or at least once after vaccination. The method allows to determine the vaccination regimen with the vaccine, in particular, a virus vaccine, like an influenza virus vaccine whereby when a low level of at least one of IL-8 and/or IL-18 is determined, said low level is indicative for a personalized vaccine strategy. In a further aspect, the use of at least one of IL-8 or IL-18 as a predictive marker for vaccine efficacy or immune protection by vaccination is provided. Finally, a kit of parts for vaccination comprising equipment for determining the level and/or amount of at least one of IL-8 or IL-18 in a sample obtained from an individual to be vaccinated as well as the vaccine to be administered is described.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods of eliciting an anti-tumor immune response and treating cancer comprising at least one peptide of KRAS.
