COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERY OF BIOMACROMOLECULE AGENTS
The present invention relates to nanoparticles complexed with biomacromolecule agents configured for treating, preventing or ameliorating various types of disorders, and methods of synthesizing the same. In particular, the present invention is directed to compositions comprising nanoparticles (e.g., synthetic high density lipoprotein (sHDL)) carrying biomacromolecule agents (e.g., nucleic acid, peptides, glycolipids, etc.), methods for synthesizing such nanoparticles, as well as systems and methods utilizing such nanoparticles (e.g., in diagnostic and/or therapeutic settings).
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL NANOPARTICLES FOR VACCINATION
The present invention generally relates to a dynamic nanoparticle used for vaccination. Specifically, the claimed product comprises of an adaptive nanoparticle wherein both the outer surface and the inner core are customizable for targeted application.
COMBINATION THERAPY OF A T CELL-BASED THERAPY AND A BTK INHIBITOR
Provided herein are methods, compositions and uses involving immunotherapies, such as adoptive cell therapy, e.g., T cell therapy, and inhibitors of a TEK family kinase, such as BTK or ITK. The provided methods, compositions and uses include those for combination therapies involving the administration or use of one or more such inhibitor in conjunction with another agent, such as an immunotherapeutic agent targeting T cells, such as a therapeutic antibody, e.g., a multispecific (e.g., T cell engaging) antibody, and/or genetically engineered T cells, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing T cells. Also provided are methods of manufacturing engineered T cells, compositions, methods of administration to subjects, nucleic acids, articles of manufacture and kits for use in the methods. In some aspects, features of the methods and cells provide for increased or improved activity, efficacy, persistence, expansion and/or proliferation of T cells for adoptive cell therapy or endogenous T cells recruited by immunotherapeutic agents.
ARTIFICIAL ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELLS AND METHODS OF USE
The present disclosure relates to artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs), in particular engineered erythroid cells and enucleated cells (e.g. enucleated erythroid cells and platelets), that are engineered to activate or suppress T cells.
IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC TUMOR TREATMENT METHOD
Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject having cancer by administering to the subject a cancer vaccine accompanied by administration of a long acting IL-2R??-biased agonist.
Materials and methods for producing improved lentiviral vector particles
Materials and methods useful for generating highly mannosylated pseudotyped lentiviral vector particles comprising a Vpx protein are provided.
Combination immunotherapy compositions against cancer and methods
Disclosed are immunotherapeutic compositions and the concurrent use of combinations of such compositions for the improved induction of therapeutic immune responses and/or for the prevention, amelioration and/or treatment of disease, including, but not limited to, cancer and infectious disease.
Isolated T cell receptors and methods of use therefor
Provided are isolated TCRs, TCR-like molecules, and portions thereof that bind to phosphopeptide-HLA-A2 complexes. The isolated TCRs, TCR-like molecules, or portions are optionally soluble TCRs, TCR-like molecules, or portions. Also provided are isolated nucleic acids encoding the disclosed TCRs, TCR-like molecules, or portions; host cells that contain the disclosed TCRs, TCR-like molecules, or portions; pharmaceutical compositions that include the disclosed TCRs, TCR-like molecules, portions, nucleic acids, and/or T cells; kits; and methods of using the same.
Methods and compositions for enhancing the therapeutic effect of anti-tumor T cells
Compositions, e.g., therapeutic agents, and methods are provided for modulating gene and protein expression of Forkhead Box protein 1 (Foxp1). The therapeutic agents include short nucleic acid molecules that modulate gene and protein expression of Forkhead Box protein 1 (Foxp1) expression, viral vectors containing such molecules, T cells transduced with these viruses for adoptive therapies, and any small molecules that bind to and inactivate Foxp1. These compounds and methods have applications in cancer therapy either alone or in combination with other therapies that stimulate the endogenous immune system in the environment of the cancer, e.g., tumor.
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING CANCER
Provided herein, in some embodiments, are methods and composition for treating cancer in a subject. The methods may include administering to the subject a nucleic acid encoding MIP3? fused to a cancer antigen, administering to the subject a CpG oligodeoxynucleotide, administering to the subject interferon alpha (IFN?), and administering to the subject 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (Aza), in effective amounts to treat the cancer.
