DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
A display device may include: a base layer including a display area and a non-display area; and a plurality of pixels provided on the display area, and each including a plurality of sub-pixels. Each of the sub-pixels may include a pixel circuit layer, and a display element layer including an emission area formed to emit light, and a non-emission area provided around a perimeter of the emission area. The display element layer may include: a partition wall provided on the emission area of each of the sub-pixels; a bank provided on the non-emission area of each sub-pixel, and disposed on a surface equal to a surface on which the partition wall is disposed; a first electrode and a second electrode provided on the partition wall and spaced apart from each other; and at least one light emitting element provided between the first and second electrodes in the emission area of each sub-pixel, and configured to emit the light.
ENHANCED ANTIGEN PRESENTING ABILITY OF CAR T CELLS BY CO-INTRODUCTION OF COSTIMULATORY MOLECULES
The invention provides T cells comprising nucleic acid sequence encoding a chimeric antigen receptor and a nucleic acid sequence encoding an enhancer of T cell priming, compositions including the T cells, and methods of using the T cells to treat diseases associated with the expression of disease-associated antigens.
PROTEOLYTICALLY CLEAVABLE CHIMERIC POLYPEPTIDES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The instant disclosure provides chimeric polypeptides which modulate various cellular processes following a cleavage event induced upon binding of a specific binding member of the polypeptide with its binding partner. Methods of using chimeric polypeptides to modulate cellular functions, including e.g., induction of gene expression, are also provided. Nucleic acids encoding the subject chimeric polypeptides and associated expression cassettes and vectors as well as cells that contain such nucleic acids and/or expression cassettes and vectors are provided. Also provided, are methods of treating a subject using the described components and methods as well as kits for practicing the subject methods.
T CELL RECEPTORS TARGETING PIK3CA MUTATIONS AND USES THEREOF
The presently disclosed subject matter provides for methods and compositions for treating cancer (e.g., breast cancer). It relates to mutant PIK3CA-targeted TCRs that specifically target a mutant PIK3CA peptide (e.g., a human mutant PIK3CA peptide), and immunoresponsive cells comprising such TCRs. The presently disclosed mutant PIK3CA peptide-specific TCRs have enhanced immune-activating properties, including anti-tumor activity.
METHODS FOR PRODUCTION OF TISSUE RESIDENT MEMORY-LIKE T CELLS AND USE THEREOF
Provided herein are methods for the production of tissue resident memory-like T cells by the combination of hypoxia and TGF. Further provided herein are methods of using the tissue resident memory T cells as adoptive cell therapy.
CANCER ANTIGENS AND METHODS
There are disclosed inter alia polypeptides and nucleic acids encoding said polypeptides which are useful in the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of cancer, particularly melanoma, especially cutaneous melanoma and uveal melanoma.
Methods of producing T memory stem cell populations
Provided are methods of producing an isolated T memory stem cell population, the method comprising a) isolating nave T cells from a mammal, wherein the mammal is not a mouse; b) activating the nave T cells and expanding the numbers of nave T cells in the presence of one or more non-specific T cell stimuli, one or more cytokines, and a GSK-3beta inhibitor. Also provided are methods of producing an isolated T memory stem cell population, the method comprising a) isolating lymphocytes from a mammal; b) sorting the lymphocytes using flow cytometry into a population comprising a phenotype comprising i) CD95+, CD45RO, and CCR7+; and ii) CD62L+ or one or more of CD27+, CD28+, CD45RA+, and CD127+ to produce an isolated T memory stem cell population. Further embodiments of the invention provide related cells, populations of cells, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treating or preventing cancer.
METHODS FOR PRODUCING CELL POPULATIONS WITH INCREASED NUCLEIC ACID UPTAKE
A method for obtaining a genetically engineered leukocyte composition is provided. The method includes: (a) enriching a population of large cells from a biological sample obtained from a subject, wherein the biological sample comprises leukocytes without performing density gradient centrifugation; (b) contacting the population of large cells with an activating agent; and (c) transducing the population of large cells with a viral vector comprising a polynucleotide. The enriching comprises an array-based separation comprising a microfluidic device configured for deterministic lateral displacement comprising an array of obstacles, and the obstacles are elongated so that their length perpendicular to bulk fluid flow (P1) is longer than their width parallel to bulk fluid flow (P2) by at least 10%.
NOVEL TCRs
There is provided inter alia an isolated anti-cancer T-cell receptor (TCR), or anti-cancer binding fragment thereof, that binds to a plurality of cancer polypeptide antigens or antigenic peptide fragments thereof wherein said cancer polypeptide antigens or antigenic peptide fragments thereof are distinct from each other and are presented at the cell surface of one or more than one type of cancer cell.
