Disclosed herein are non-viral methods to ablate FOXP1 in T cells while effectively expressing chimeric receptors. Therefore, disclosed herein is a chimeric cell expressing a chimeric receptor, wherein the chimeric receptor is encoded by a transgene, and wherein the transgene is inserted in the genome of the cell at a location that disrupts expression or activity of an endogenous FOXP1 protein.

The invention relates to modified HPV particles that can be used therapeutically. Modified HPV particles may be used to deliver therapeutic agents, including siRNA molecules. Modified HPV particles may be used for the treatment of diseases or conditions of mucosal tissue, including HPV (human papilloma virus) infection and HPV-related tumors.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

Provided herein are compositions, methods, and uses involving anti-Mucin-16 (MUC16) agents that immunospecifically bind an epitope of Mucin-16 (MUC16). Also provided herein are uses and methods for managing, treating, or preventing disorders, such as cancer and diseases associated with positive MUC16 expression.

The present invention provides a method for the expansion of HPV immunogen specific T cells, comprising the steps of: i. providing a phagocytosable particle comprising a core and a human papillomavirus (HPV) immunogen tightly associated to the core; wherein the HPV immunogen has an amino acid sequence that corresponds to the amino acid sequence of a HPV protein, or has an amino acid sequence that corresponds to an amino acid sequence of a part of a HPV protein; ii. providing APCs; iii. contacting the phagocytosable particle comprising a core and a HPV immunogen with the APCs from step ii in vitro, and under conditions allowing phagocytosis of the HPV immunogen by the APCs; iv. providing T-cells that have been harvested from a subject; v. contacting the T-cells with the APCs from step iii) in vitro, and under conditions allowing specific activation of HPV immunogen specific T-cells. The invention further provides an expanded population of therapeutically useful T-cells and their use in the treatment or prevention of cancer, particularly HPV positive cancers.

The invention relates to a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of (i) SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO: 216, and (ii) a variant sequence thereof which maintains capacity to bind to MHC molecule(s) and/or induce T cells cross-reacting with said variant peptide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Neoantigenic peptides useful for the treatment of MSI-H tumors, vaccines and composition comprising the peptides, and methods of inducing or enhancing an immune response and of treating MSI-H tumors are provided.

The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, methods for treating, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of, cancer, with compounds (e.g., antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof) that bind to CD277.

This disclosure is directed to methods of preparing dendritic cells or other CD40 bearing antigen-presenting cells and methods of treating cancer by using the dendritic cells or other antigen-presenting cells in combination with anti-chemorepellant agents. This disclosure is further directed to methods of preparing T cells and methods of treating cancer, by activated T cells optionally in combination with anti-chemorepellant agents. The antigen presenting cells of the disclosure are activated by incubation with cancer cells and fusion proteins. The T cells of the disclosures are activated by incubation with activated antigen-presenting cells that were activated by incubation with cancer cells and a fusion protein. In particular, the fusion protein comprises an antigen-binding domain, e.g., an antibody or antibody fragment, and a stress protein domain.
