A61K2239/55
Killer cell capable of efficiently and stably expressing antibody, and uses thereof
Provided is a transgenic killer cell, the genome of which is stably integrated with a coding sequence comprising an antibody of a human Fc section, or an expression cassette of a coding sequence comprising a chimeric antigen receptor or an inhibitory or agonistic antibody, and an inverted terminal repeat sequence from a transposon at both ends. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition comprising the transgenic killer cell, and uses thereof.
METHODS AND COMPOUNDS FOR NEOANTIGEN VACCINES
The present disclosure includes compounds and methods for treating a subject having a disease such as cancer. A treatment method includes administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of one or more peptides corresponding to a tumor neoantigen or administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of one or more oligonucleotides each having a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a peptide corresponding to a tumor neoantigen. The tumor neoantigens may be identified from patient-specific tumor mutations in the patient's tumor cells.
ENGINEERED NK CELLS AND USES THEREOF
Disclosed herein are engineered NK cells suppressed in the expression of T Cell Immunoreceptor with Ig And ITIM Domains (TIGIT) and uses thereof for treating cancers and infectious diseases.
BINDING MEMBERS TO PD-L1
The present invention relates to anti-PD-L1 binding members and in particular to monovalent, high potency PD-L1-binding antibody fragments being highly stable and soluble. Such binding members may be used in the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases as well as in diagnostics. Also provided are related nucleic acids, vectors, cells, and compositions.
MODIFIED CELLS FOR IMMUNOTHERAPY
The present invention relates to engineered immune cells expressing antigen receptors, such as a T cell receptor (TCR) or a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), as well as antibody targeting PD-L1. Also provided are related nucleic acids, vectors, compositions and method for enhancing the immune response towards cancers and pathogens.
METHODS FOR COMBINING ADOPTIVE T CELL THERAPY WITH ONCOLYTIC VIRUS ADJUNCT THERAPY
The present invention relates to augmenting the effects of adoptive T cell therapy, such as TVAX Immunotherapy, using adjunct treatment with an oncolytic virus, such as a vaccinia virus, to treat various types of cancer or other proliferative disorders. Immunomodulatory compounds can be used to further augment to effects of the therapy.
ENGINEERED MAMMALIAN CELLS FOR CANCER THERAPY
The present invention provides a cell-based platform for controllable, regionalized, and cost-effective delivery of immunomodulator and other therapeutic proteins, which is widely applicable in cancer immunotherapy.
Tumor lysate loaded particles
Dendritic cells containing tumor lysate loaded particles are prepared. The dendritic cells present tumor antigens to elicit the Major Histocompatibility Complex class I pathway and can be used as a vaccine to treat cancer, including ocular melanoma.
A Composition, A Treatment Method and An Application Thereof
The present invention relates to the field of treatment of tumor, and especially to a composition comprising a plasmodium, a treatment method and an application thereof. The composition of the present invention has therapeutic effects on colorectal carcinoma, lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma, gastric carcinoma and hepatic carcinoma etc., can inhibit the growth of tumor and prolong the life of the tumor patients, whereas has no therapeutic effect on melanoma and lymphoma; meanwhile, the present invention describes that the long-term plasmodium infection has better therapeutic effect on tumors, and the plasmodium immunotherapy of the present invention does not take the fever time as a course standard when treating tumors, but should be used to extend the duration of plasmodium infection as much as possible until the progression of tumors can be controlled under the premise of protecting the organ functions and life safety of the patients.
Inhibition of Diacylglycerol Kinase to Augment Adoptive T cell Transfer
The present invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting one or more diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) isoform in a cell in order to enhance the cytolytic activity of the cell. In one embodiment, the cells may be used in adoptive T cell transfer. For example, in some embodiments, the cell is modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Inhibition of DGK in T cells used in adoptive T cell transfer increases cytolytic activity of the T cells and thus may be used in the treatment of a variety of conditions, including cancer, infection, and immune disorders.
