NOVEL IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST SEVERAL TUMORS OF THE BLOOD, IN PARTICULAR CHRONIC LYMPHOID LEUKEMIA (CLL)
The present invention relates to peptides, 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 cytotoxic T cell (CTL) peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. The present invention relates to several novel peptide sequences and their variants derived from HLA class I and HLA class II molecules of human tumor cells that can be used in vaccine compositions for eliciting anti-tumor immune responses.

14-3-3 eta antibodies and uses thereof for the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis
The invention provides anti-14-3-3 eta antibodies that specifically bind to the human 14-3-3 eta protein isoform in its natural configuration while exhibiting selectivity over human 14-3-3 alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, gamma, tau, and zeta protein isoforms. Methods, kits and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said specific anti-14-3-3 eta antibodies are further provided for the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF MELANOMA
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for treatment of melanoma.
Neoantigen immunotherapies
This invention provides a method for maximizing the immune response to mutated tumor specific proteins, either by means of stimulation of dendritic cells or T cells in vitro followed by administration of these cells to a patient, or by means of administration of a neoantigen vaccine in which de novo peptides, or their encoding nucleic acids, have been designed to ensure an appropriate level of binding affinity to a particular cancer patient's MHC alleles. This invention further provides for modulating the immune response in an immunopathology other than cancer.
Individualized vaccines for cancer
The present invention is in the field of tumor immunotherapy. In particular, the present invention provides individualized cancer vaccines specific for a patient's tumor based on a transcriptome analysis in a tumor specimen of the patient for RNA transcripts which are excessively upregulated in one or more cancer cells of said patient. These individualized cancer vaccines when administered to the patient induce an immune response against tumor-associated antigens expressed in a tumor of the patient by the RNA transcripts which are excessively upregulated in one or more cancer cells of said patient. Due to the excessive upregulation of the RNA transcripts, the individualized cancer vaccines are effective for vaccination of a subject and for breaking the self-tolerance against tumor-associated antigens which are self-proteins in said subject.
