ARENAVIRUS PARTICLES AS CANCER VACCINES
The present application relates generally to genetically modified arenaviruses that are suitable vaccines against neoplastic diseases, such as cancer. The arenaviruses described herein may be suitable for vaccines and/or treatment of neoplastic diseases and/or for the use in immunotherapies. In particular, provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a neoplastic disease by administering a genetically modified arenavirus in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, wherein the arenavirus has been engineered to include a nucleotide sequence encoding a tumor antigen, tumor associated antigen or antigenic fragment thereof.
PEPTIDES DERIVED FROM KALLIKREIN 4
The present invention relates to novel peptides derived from Kallikrein-4 (KLK4), complexes comprising such peptides bound to recombinant MHC molecules, and cells presenting said peptide in complex with MHC molecules. Also provided by the present invention are binding moieties that bind to the peptides and/or complexes of the invention. Such moieties are useful for the development of immunotherapeutic reagents for the treatment of diseases such as cancer.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZED PEPTIDE VACCINES USING RESIDUE OPTIMIZATION
