Provided herein are innate immune cells for use in therapeutic methods. Also described herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising innate immune cells for use in the treatment of a variety of diseases including, but not limited to pathogenic infections, pulmonary diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and immunodeficiency.

The present disclosure provides a composition comprising isolated T cells, wherein the T cells have specificity against a range of clinical fungal pathogens.

The present invention provides improved and/or shortened methods for expanding TILs and producing therapeutic populations of TILs, including novel methods for expanding TIL populations in a closed system that lead to improved efficacy, improved phenotype, and increased metabolic health of the TILs in a shorter time period, while allowing for reduced microbial contamination as well as decreased costs. Such TILs find use in therapeutic treatment regimens.

The present invention provides compositions comprising a protein expression blocker or PEBL comprising a target-binding molecule and localizing domain, and methods of using such compositions in cancer therapy. PEBLs are useful as a blockade of expression of target surface receptors (peptides or antigens) in immune cells. Also provided herein are CD3/TCR??-deficient T cells and CD3/TCR??-deficient chimeric antigen receptor T cells that express such PEBLs.

This disclosure relates to chimeric antigen receptors targeting T cell malignancies. The present disclosure also relates to the development of methods for inactivation with engineered CARs, to enhance T cell functions or reduce T cell suppression.

The present invention is directed to genome editing systems, reagents and methods for immunooncology.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for generating a modified T cell with a nucleic acid capable of downregulating endogenous gene expression selected from the group consisting of TCR ? chain, TCR ? chain, beta-2 microglobulin, a HLA molecule, CTLA-4, PD1, and FAS and further comprising a nucleic acid encoding a modified T cell receptor (TCR) comprising affinity for a surface antigen on a target cell or an electroporated nucleic acid encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Also included are methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified T cell for adoptive therapy and treating a condition, such as an autoimmune disease.
