IMMUNOMODULATORY IL2R FUSION PROTEINS AND USES THEREOF
The present disclosure relates to fusion proteins containing an extracellular cytokine binding domain and an intracellular signaling domain of one or more IL-2R chains or signaling portion(s) thereof, wherein the cytokine binding domain is not an IL-2 binding domain. The present disclosure also relates to uses of immune cells expressing such fusion proteins to treat certain diseases, such as cancer or infectious disease.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IMMUNE CELL MODULATION IN ADOPTIVE IMMUNOTHERAPIES
Compounds that either produced a higher proportion or greater absolute number of phenotypically identified nave, stem cell memory, central memory T cells, adaptive NK cells, and type I NKT cells are identified. Compositions and methods for modulating immune cells including T, NK, and NKT cells for adoptive cell therapies with improved efficacy are provided.
USE OF TRANS-SIGNALING APPROACH IN CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS
The present invention provides compositions and methods for inducing a CAR mediated trans-signal in a T cell. The trans-signaling CAR T cells comprise a first CAR having a first signaling module and a second CAR having a distinct second signaling module. The present invention also provides cells comprising a plurality of types of CARs, wherein the plurality of types of CARs participate in trans-signaling to induce T cell activation.
PROCESSES FOR GENERATING SUPERIOR ANTI-TUMOR T-CELL EFFECTOR AND MEMORY CELLS
The present invention relates to an adoptive T cell therapy using cells generated by genetically or biochemically reprogramming T cells to produce T memory stem cells (Tscm) that persist longer in vivo and are superior anti-tumor effector cells.
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DOSING OF ALLOGENEIC CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR T CELLS
The present disclosure concerns dosages for the treatment of human patients susceptible to or diagnosed with a disease, such as cancer. Provided are methods for administering chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells. Also provided are compositions and articles of manufacture for use in the methods.
Method of in vitro fertilization with delay of embryo transfer and use of peripheral blood mononuclear cells
A method of in vitro fertilization wherein the embryo is implanted into the uterus of a female patient at least two, and preferably three to twelve months after the eggs are retrieved from the patient in order to reduce the effect of autoimmune rejection of the embryo by the patient's autoimmune system and increase the probability and success of pregnancy and wherein prior to embryo implantation, the endometrium in the uterus is prepared for embryo implantation by introducing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into the uterus. The procedure is combined with cryopreservation techniques to preserve the oocytes or the IVF-produced embryos of the patient.
Microsphere-based delivery and ex vivo manipulation of dendritic cells for autoimmune therapies
The present invention relates to tolerogenic mammalian dendritic cells (iDCs) and methods for the production of tolerogenic DCs. In addition, the present invention provides methods for administration of tolerogenic dendritic cells as well as particles containing oligonucleotides to mammalian subjects. Enhanced tolerogenicity in a host can be useful for treating inflammatory and autoimmune related diseases, such as type 1 diabetes.
Treatment of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
Methods of treating a patient with human immunodeficiency virus are disclosed. The method includes a providing intradermal and intravenous doses of a aTh1 composition that can increase the CD4+ cells in a patient that are resistant to HIV. The description includes a method for viral load reduction and a viral purge method. The regimen leads to a spike in the viral load and a then a return to baseline or lower levels of the virus and can lead to reduction and/or elimination of the latent viral reservoirs. Kits configured to provide intradermal doses and intravenous doses according to the regimen are also included.
METHODS FOR SELECTIVE EXPANSION OF GAMMA DELTA T-CELL POPULATIONS AND COMPOSITIONS THEREOF
The present invention relates to methods for the selective expansion of ?? T-cell population(s), compositions and ad-mixtures thereof and methods for using the same as a therapeutic. Non-engineered and engineered, enriched ?? T-cell populations of the disclosure are useful in the treatment of various cancers, infectious diseases, and immune disorders.
USE OF HETERODIMERIC IL-15 IN ADOPTIVE CELL TRANSFER
The disclosure provides methods of performing adoptive cell transfer using IL-15, where the methods are performed without lymphodepletion of the subject.
