The present disclosure provides methods for assessing and optimizing cellular quality of a cell-based therapy that is being produced in an automated cell engineering system. The methods suitably include monitoring molecular characteristics of the cells before, during, and after the automated process to provide feedback to the process parameters. In embodiments, the cells being produced are Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells.

The present invention provides a binding molecule which specifically binds p95HER2 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17, comprising a light chain variable domain (VL) and a heavy chain variable domain (VH) which together form an antigen binding unit, wherein the VL comprises three complementarity determining regions (CDRs): CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3, which respectively comprise the amino acid sequences SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2 and 3; and wherein the VH comprises three CDRs; CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3, which respectively comprise the amino acid sequences SEQ ID NOs: 4, 5 and 6.

The invention provides methods of making immune effector cells (e.g., T cells, NK cells) that can be engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), compositions and reaction mixtures comprising the same, and methods of treatment using the same.

Provided is a pharmaceutical composition that can induce an antitumor effect more potently, more efficiently, more sustainably, and/or over a wider range of areas. A composition containing a hyaluronic acid derivative having a hydrophobic group introduced and an antigen is used in combination with a lymphocyte expressing an immune receptor for the antigen

The present invention is related to compositions and methods for the regulated and controlled expression of proteins.

The present invention refers to a CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and to its use for treating CD19+ malignancies.

The disclosure relates to mitochondria-enhanced immune cells, their compositions and therapeutic use.

The invention relates to an artificial T cell receptor, wherein an antigen binding domain of the artificial T cell receptor specifically binds a complement pathway protein, nucleic acids encoding such artificial T cell receptors and cells engineered to express such nucleic acids. The invention also relates to targeting polypeptides comprising an extracellular ligand binding domain and an intracellular domain comprising a transcription factor, and wherein the transcription factor is configured to be released upon binding of the ligand binding domain by a ligand. The invention also relates to cells engineered to express the artificial T cell receptor and the targeting polypeptide, particularly where expression of the artificial T cell receptor is operatively linked to binding of the ligand binding domain. The cells of the invention are useful in medicine, particularly in the treatment of inflammatory conditions.

Disclosed herein are methods of eliciting an anti-cancer immune response by administering tumor-associated antigens, cells containing tumor-associated antigens, and/or nucleic acids encoding tumor-associated antigens. inducing immunogenic cell death in the cells expressing or containing the tumor-associated antigens. and optionally generating hyperactivated dendritic cells. Expression of tumor-associated antigens in a separate anatomical site generates a tumor avatar, which mimics the antigenic, but not immunosuppressive, environment of the tumor, with the generation of hyperactivated dendritic cells enhancing antigen presentation to elicit a robust anti-tumor T cell and antibody response. Also provided are compositions and kits containing nucleic acids and other components for use in the methods provided herein.

Fusion proteins comprising IL2 and IL2R (e.g., CIRB), IL2, IL2R and IL21R (e.g., CIRB21), and/or comprising IL2, IL2R, and CD28 (e.g., CIRB28); natural killer (NK) cells that express the fusion proteins and methods of use thereof, e.g., to treat subjects with cancer; and regulatory T cells (T-regs) that express a fusion protein comprising IL2, IL2R, and CD28 and methods of use thereof, e.g., to treat subjects with autoimmune disease or GVHD.
