20170145106 · 2017-05-25 ·

The present invention relates to a cellular immunotherapy for treatment of tumors, particularly to a peptide of a chimeric antigen receptor hCD87-CAR and the applications thereof, the peptide of said antigen receptor being carried by a vector packaged in a lentivirus. The chimeric antigen receptor hCD87-CAR contains a fragment of anti CD87 monoclonal antibody hCD87scFv consisting of a sequence selected from a peptide comprising: (a) SEQ ID NO. 1 or SEQ ID NO. 2; (b) a peptide having the same function as the sequence of (a); and (c) a peptide having at least 90% homology to the sequence of (a). The hCD87-CAR is used for modifying T lymphocytes, and the modified T cells (CAR-T cells) can be used for the therapy of tumors that are cell surface CD87-positive.

The present invention relates to efficient methods for providing antigen-specific lymphoid cells. These lymphoid cells may be used to provide antigen specific T cell receptors having a defined MHC restriction and to identify immunologically relevant T cell epitopes. Furthermore, the present invention relates to antigen-specific T cell receptors and T cell epitopes and their use in immunotherapy.

BISPECIFIC CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS AND ENCODING POLYNUCLEOTIDES THEREOF

The invention is directed to a bispecific chimeric antigen receptor, comprising: (a) at least two antigen-specific targeting regions; (b) an extracellular spacer domain; (c) a transmembrane domain; (d) at least one co-stimulatory domain; and (e) an intracellular signaling domain, wherein each antigen-specific targeting region comprises an antigen-specific single chain Fv (scFv) fragment, and binds a different antigen, and wherein the bispecific chimeric antigen receptor is co-expressed with a therapeutic control. The invention also provides methods and uses of the bispecific chimeric antigen receptors.

CD133 EPITOPES

An immunogen includes an isolated peptide of 800 amino acid residues or fewer having the amino sequence ILSAFSVYV (SEQ ID NO:1) with four or fewer amino acid substitutions, a superagonist variant of SEQ ID NO:1, or an amino acid sequence having the formula: (I/K/T/V/M)-L-(S/L)-(A/E/N/D/Q)-(F/V)-(S/M/V/I)-(V/D/R/G/H)-Y-(V/I/L) (SEQ ID NO:13). The immunogens can be used in compositions and in the treatment of disorders.

Dock-and-Lock (DNL) Complexes for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use
20170088635 · 2017-03-30 ·

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions dock and lock (DNL) complexes comprising an AD moiety selected from an AKAP protein and a DDD moiety selected from a protein kinase A regulatory subunit. Also disclosed are fusion proteins comprising an AD moiety or DDD moiety attached to an effector moiety. The DDD moieties form dimers that bind to the AD moiety to form the DNL complexes. The effector moieties may be selected from a wide range of known effector moieties that produce one or more physiological effects, including but not limited to cell death. The DNL complexes may further comprise one or more diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. The DNL complexes are of use for treating and/or diagnosing a variety of diseases or conditions.

METHODS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF T-CELL MALIGNANCIES

T-cell malignancies are a broad, heterogenous group of diseases and include T-cell lymphomas and T-cell leukemias. T-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of malignancies involving T lymphocytes and generally characterized by a poor prognosis. Among them, cutaneous T-cell lymphomas involve primarily the skin. Mycosis fungoides and Szary syndrome are the most frequent cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. The inventors showed that both circulating malignant and non-malignant T cells express CD51 in patients with Szary syndrome. CD51 therefore appears as a useful diagnostic, prognostic and follow-up marker, and as a potential therapeutic target in T-cell lymphomas.

Human alpha-folate receptor chimeric antigen receptor

The invention provides compositions and methods for treating ovarian cancer. Specifically, the invention relates to administering a genetically modified T cell having alpha-folate receptor (FR-alpha) binding domain and CD27 costimulatory domain to treat ovarian cancer. In an embodiment, the FR-alpha binding domain is fully human, thereby preventing a host immune response.

Antigen-specific T cell receptors and T cell epitopes
