The present invention relates to a method for memory B cell-specific differentiation induction and to uses thereof and, more specifically, to an anti-CD3 antibody or ligand in a biological sample obtained from and individual, a method for memory B cell-specific differentiation induction comprising a step of treating an anti-CD28 antibody or ligand, and a method for detection a memory B cell which is specific to a specific antigen by using same.

In one aspect, methods of generating human monoclonal antibodies that specifically binds to an allergen are provided. In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibodies are generated from sequences identified from isolated single B cells from a human subject who is allergic to the allergen.

The invention is directed to an isolated population of mammal cells comprising about 75% or higher B-1a regula e PBS-treated tory cells expressing the cell surface inhibitory receptors lympho-cyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3), programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4), and secreting interleukin-27 (IL-27). The invention is also directed to methods of preparing and using the cell population to suppress the immune system and/or to treat or prevent diseases.

The present disclosure relates to genetically modified B cells, including memory cells, differentiated to plasmablasts or plasma cells useful for long term in vivo expression of a transgene, such as a specific antibody or other protein therapeutic. Also disclosed are methods of producing the cells and methods of treatment.

In some embodiments, marrow-infiltrating lymphocytes (“MILs”) comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”) are provided. In some aspects, the embodiments relate to a method for making a recombinant MIL, comprising obtaining bone marrow comprising MILs; and transfecting, transforming, or transducing the MILs with a nucleic acid encoding a chimeric antigen receptor. In some aspects, the embodiments relate to a method for treating a condition in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a MIL comprising a CAR.

Provided are engineered B lymphocytes modified to express one or several different types of microRNAs or anti-miRs where in one embodiments the lymphocytes contain multiple copy numbers of nucleic acids encoding the one or several different types of miRs or anti-miRs. Provided are compositions and methods for treating, ameliorating, or preventing a cancer cell, a breast cancer cell or a triple negative breast cancer, or a breast cancer cell that tests negative for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or HER2, comprising or by administering a composition, formulation or pharmaceutical composition comprising a microRNA or anti-miR. Provided are methods for treating an inflammation, a disease, a condition, infection or cancer capable of being treated by modulation or inhibition or expression of an miRNA or anti-miRs by administering to an individual in need thereof a B lymphocyte that secretes a microRNA or anti-miR, or a B lymphocyte supernatant, extracellular vesicle or exosome having a microRNA or anti-miR.

The invention disclosed herein relates to improved methods for expanding cell populations, particularly B cell populations. The invention further relates to improved B-cell expansion media, compositions comprising expanded B cells and methods of using such expanded B cells. The invention further relates to methods of treating diseases or disorders wherein a population of B cells is obtained and cultured, and wherein said B cells are engineered to express a payload and/or a chimeric receptor, and wherein said B cells are administered to a subject.

In certain aspects, the present invention provides methods for inducing a stable gene modification of a target nucleic acid via homologous recombination in a primary cell, such as a primary blood cell and/or a primary mesenchymal cell. In certain other aspects, the present invention provides methods for enriching a population of genetically modified primary cells having targeted integration at a target nucleic acid. The methods of the present invention rely on the introduction of a DNA nuclease such as a Cas polypeptide and a homologous donor adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector into the primary cell to mediate targeted integration of the target nucleic acid. Also provided herein are methods for preventing or treating a disease in a subject in need thereof by administering to the subject any of the genetically modified primary cells or pharmaceutical compositions described herein to prevent the disease or ameliorate one or more symptoms of the disease.

The present invention is directed to a method of generating multilineage potential cells by de-differentiation of somatic leukocytes in a mixed leukocyte suspension from a blood sample. The present invention is also directed to the use of the generated multilineage potential cells to treat conditions in humans and mammals.

Compounds, compositions, and methods for use in inhibiting the E3 enzyme Cbl-b in the ubiquitin proteasome pathway are disclosed. The compounds, compositions, and methods can be used to modulate the immune system, to treat diseases amenable to immune system modulation, and for treatment of cells in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo.
