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.

The present invention provides a peptide having an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1 through 95 and any combination thereof. The peptide or combination of peptides possess OCT4 specific inducibility. The peptide or combination of peptides can further be used as a vaccine.

The compositions described herein include an epitope of a peptide that may elicit an immune response in a subject following administration. The compositions may comprise nucleic acids. The compositions may comprise peptides. The methods described herein include administering a composition comprising an epitope of a peptide to a subject in need thereof.

A method of reducing cancer cell growth, a method of increasing sensitivity of cancer cells to CTL mediated killing, and a method of increasing sensitivity of cancer cells to NK mediated killing are provided. The methods comprise treating cancer cells with a combination of a HDAC inhibitor and immunotherapy.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating T cell exhaustion in a subject, by administering a PTD-MYC fusion protein (e.g., an HIV TAT-MYC fusion protein) or immune cells treated with a PTD-MYC fusion protein. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided herein.

Disclosed herein are nucleic acid molecules comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences that encode a synthetic consensus BORIS antigen. Vectors, compositions, and vaccines comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences that encode a synthetic consensus BORIS antigen are disclosed. Methods of treating a subject with a BORIS-expressing tumor and methods of preventing a BORIS-expressing tumor are disclosed. A synthetic consensus BORIS antigen is disclosed.

Cancer is treated using coordinated treatment regimens that uses various compounds and compositions that drive a tumor from the escape phase of cancer immunoediting to the elimination and equilibrium phase of cancer immunoediting.

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.

The invention provides Brachyury deletion mutant polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides, non-yeast vectors comprising the nucleic acids, non-yeast cells, and methods of use.

Hematopoeitic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) and/or non-T effector cells are modified to express an extracellular component including a tag cassette. The tag cassette can be used to activate, promote proliferation of, detect, enrich, isolate, track, deplete and/or eliminate modified cells. The cells can also be modified to express a binding domain.
