The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

Disclosed herein are nucleotide sequences encoding an insecticidal protein exhibiting Lepidopteran inhibitory activity, as well as novel insecticidal proteins referred to herein as a BCW 001, BCW 002, BCW 003, and BCW toxic protein-containing chimeras and BCW toxin insecticide, transgenic plants expressing the chimeras or the insecticide, and methods for detecting the presence of the nucleotide sequences or the insecticide in a biological sample.

Signal sequences useful for targeting proteins and peptides to the surface of endospores produced by Paenibacillus family members and methods of using the same are provided. The display of heterologous molecules, such as peptides, polypeptides and other recombinant constructs, on the spore surface of Paenibacillus family members, using particular N-terminal targeting sequences and derivatives of the same, are also provided.

Disclosed are a 3-N-cyclopropylmethyl-2-fluorobenzamide compound, a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. The compound has a structure as represented by the following formula I. This compound can be used for the preparation of an m-diamide compound substituted with a 3-N-cyclopropylmethyl derivative. The m-diamide compound substituted with the 3-N-cyclopropylmethyl derivative, when serving as an insecticide, has the characteristics of a good fast-acting property, needing to use a low amount thereof, and being more beneficial for environmental protection. The 3-N-cyclopropylmethyl-2-fluorobenzamide compound is easy to synthesize and has mild conditions, and when used for preparing a m-diamide compound insecticide substituted with a 3-N-cyclopropylmethyl derivative, same is easy to synthesize and has a low synthesis cost and a high yield.
