Disclosed herein are methods of selecting an allogeneic T cell line for therapeutic administration to a patient having or suspected of having a pathogen or cancer. Also disclosed are methods of selecting a donor from whom to derive an allogeneic T cell line for therapeutic administration to a patient having or suspected of having a pathogen or cancer.

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles and methods of using them for detecting reactive oxygen species are disclosed. In particular, methods of using SERS nanoparticles to detect and quantify reactive oxygen species and monitor oxidative stress and disease-relevant changes in levels of reactive oxygen species are provided.

The invention relates to diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions associated with the functions of prion-like or Tetz-proteins.

The disclosure provides, in various embodiments, compositions, such as polypeptides, polynucleotides, gene editing systems, small molecules, vectors or host cells, that comprise and/or modulate expression or activity of immune regulation-associated proteins, such as cytokines. The disclosure also provides, in various embodiments, methods of treating a disease or condition (e.g., a disease or condition associated with the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), whole genome sequencing, phenome-wide association study (PheWAS), expression quantitative trait locus (cQTL) studies, or a combination thereof) using an agent that comprises and/or modulates expression or activity of an immune regulation-associated protein, and methods of identifying said agent.

The present disclosure relates to a diagnostic method and a device performing the same. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a diagnostic device is a diagnostic device that uses a test kit including a specimen plate having a specimen region in which a specimen is smeared and a patch plate configured to store a contact-type patch, which comes into contact with the specimen to stain the specimen, and the diagnostic device includes a body having a loading region in which the test kit is placed, a moving unit configured to move the patch plate and the specimen plate of the test kit relative to each other so that the specimen placed in the test kit is smeared in the specimen region, and a contact unit configured to move a structure of the test kit such that the contact-type patch comes into contact with the smeared specimen so that the smeared specimen is stained.

The present disclosure relates to anti-IL-27 antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof. The disclosure also relates to methods for treating or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a disease, such as cancer, by administering the antibodies or antigen-binding portion thereof. The disclosure also relates to methods for detecting IL-27 in, for example, a subject or a sample.

Provided in the present application are an IL-15 mutant polypeptide, and a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. Further provided are a nucleic acid encoding the IL-15 mutant polypeptide, a vector containing the nucleic acid, and a host cell.

Fibronectin type III domains (FN3) that specifically bind to CD8A, related polynucleotides capable of encoding CD8A-specific FN3 domains, cells expressing the FN3 domains, as well as associated vectors, and detectably labeled FN3 domains are useful in therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

The present invention provides Claudin-6-specific immunoreceptors (T cell receptors and artificial T cell receptors (chimeric antigen receptors; CARs)) and T cell epitopes which are useful for immunotherapy.

A method of rapid functional analysis of cells is provided. A body fluid sample is introduced into a reservoir of a measurement instrument. A living cell is loaded directly from the body fluid sample into a channel of the measurement instrument in the absence of long-term cell culturing, cell passaging, and application of long-term drug pressure to cells. A functional biomarker of the living cells is measured while the living cell flows through the channel. The functional biomarker measured may be mass accumulation rate (MAR) or mass change. The measurement instrument may be a suspended microchannel resonator (SMR).
