TOLEROGENIC SYNTHETIC NANOCARRIERS TO REDUCE IMMUNE RESPONSES TO THERAPEUTIC PROTEINS
Disclosed are synthetic nanocarrier compositions, and related methods, comprising therapeutic protein APC presentable antigens and immunosuppressants that provide tolerogenic immune responses specific to therapeutic proteins.
Tolerogenic synthetic nanocarriers for allergy therapy
Disclosed are synthetic nanocarrier compositions, and related methods, comprising immunosuppressants and MHC Class II-restricted epitopes of an allergen that provide tolerogenic immune responses specific to the allergen.
Methods for Detecting Cancer-Related Cell Populations, Screening for Metastatic Cancer and Treatments Thereof
Provided are methods involving the assaying of a labeled cell suspension, e.g., to detect cancer-related cells, populations ON thereof and/or screen for metastatic cancer. Labeled cell suspensions may be assayed to detect whether a tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) population is present in a cellular suspension of a subject. Cancer-related cell populations of interest include, e.g., those expressing one or more markers, including where the markers are members of a marker panel. Markers assayed may vary depending on the context and may include protein markers, nucleic acid markers, cell cycle markers, DNA content markers, and the like. Useful markers include one or more immune checkpoint markers and/or one or more immune cell-type markers, including where the marker(s) assayed are part of one or more panels of markers. Also provided are methods of treating a subject for a neoplasia based on the outcome of an assay of a labeled cell suspension of sample from a subject. Kits for practicing the described methods are also provided.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITING OR SCREENING FOR CD8 AND METHODS AND ASSAYS FOR DETECTING CD8 IN CELLS
Among the various aspects of the present disclosure are provisions for methods of, and compositions for, increasing NK cell anti-tumor response, screening donors, and predicting response to NK cell therapy.
TOLEROGENIC SYNTHETIC NANOCARRIERS FOR ALLERGY THERAPY
Disclosed are synthetic nanocarrier compositions, and related methods, comprising immunosuppressants and MHC Class II-restricted epitopes of an allergen that provide tolerogenic immune responses specific to the allergen.
CD127 EXPRESSION INVERSELY CORRELATES WITH FOXP3 AND SUPPRESSIVE FUNCTION OF CD4+ TREGS
The invention provides methods of isolating CD 127.sup.lo/− immunosuppressive regulatory T cells which can be greatly enriched for FoxP3, methods of expanding the isolated cells, pharmaceutical compositions of such cells, and methods of their use in the treatment of autoimmune and other immune system mediated disorders.
CD8+T-cell subsets as markers for prediction of delayed fracture healing
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis of delayed bone fracture healing, comprising determining the frequency of a subpopulation of CD8+ cells selected from a first group comprised of CD8+CD57+, CD8+CD28− and CD8+CD28−/CD57+, in a sample obtained from a subject. The present invention further relates to a system and a kit of parts for prediction and resulting options for preventing of delayed bone fracture healing.
CD8A-Binding Fibronectin Type III Domains
Fibronectin type III domains (FN3) that specifically bind to CD8A, related polynucleotides capable of encoding CD8A-specific FN3 domains, cells expressing the FN3 domains, as well as associated vectors, and detectably labeled FN3 domains are useful in therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IN SITU IMMUNE PROFILING OF HEART TRANSPLANT BIOPSIES
Methods for predicting risk of heart transplant rejection are disclosed.
TOLEROGENIC SYNTHETIC NANOCARRIERS TO REDUCE ANTIBODY RESPONSES
Disclosed are synthetic nanocarrier compositions, and related methods, comprising MHC Class II-restricted epitopes and immunosuppressants that provide tolerogenic immune responses, such as a reduction in CD4+ T cell help specific to an antigen.
