Provided herein are methods for cell therapy by modifying transfused cells to express an inducible caspase 9 protein, so that the cells may be selectively killed if the patient experiences dangerous side effects. Provided also within relates in part to methods for preventing or treating Graft versus Host Disease by modifying T cells before administration to a patient, so that they may be selectively killed if GvHD develops in the patient.

This invention disclosed herein relates generally to compositions comprising the cysteine protease ananain, a reducing agent and a buffer. Also disclosed generally herein are methods of stabilizing the cysteine protease, ananain while retaining protease activity, as well as methods of activating ananain zymogen for proteolysis.

The present disclosure provides, in part, compositions and methods for transient removal of neutralizing antibodies directed to AAV vectors. Such compositions and methods expand the patient cohort eligible for gene therapy and also for redosing/re-administration of AAV in patients previously treated with AAV vectors.

Provided herein are modified caspase-9 polypeptides, and chimeric caspase-9 proteins containing the modified caspase-9 polypeptides. The disclosure further provides polynucleotides encoding these proteins, engineered host cells containing these polynucleotides and proteins, including host cells that co-express a chimeric antigen receptor, and methods of making and using the same.

The technology relates in part to methods for controlling elimination of therapeutic cells, for example, cells that express a chimeric antigen receptor. The technology further relates to a two-step method of controlling destruction of therapeutic cells in a patient following an adverse event. The two-step system may include a rapamycin or rapamycin analog-based level of control and a second, rimiducid, level of control. The technology also relates in part to methods for cell therapy using cells that express the inducible caspase polypeptide and the rapamycin-sensitive polypeptide, where the proportion of therapeutic cells eliminated by apoptosis is related to the choice and amount of the administered ligand.

This document provides dietary supplement compositions. For example, multi-supplement compositions having combinations of dietary supplement formulations useful for human or animal consumption are provided.
