The present invention relates to immunotherapeutic approaches to treating haematological cancers. In particular the invention relates to a method for treating a haematological cancer by targeting the 5T4 antigen. As such, the invention provides a method for treating haematological cancers comprising administering to a subject a 5T4-targeting agent. The invention also provides a 5T4-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and uses thereof in treating cancers.

The present invention relates to a cell which comprises a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and a signal transduction modifying protein, selected from one of the following: (i) a truncated protein which comprises an SH2 domain from a protein which binds a phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM), but lacks a kinase domain; (ii) a truncated protein which comprises an SH2 domain from a protein which binds a phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) but lacks a phosphatase domain; (iii) a fusion protein which comprises (a) an SH2 domain from a protein which binds a phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) or from a protein which binds a phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM); and (ii) a heterologous domain.

A novel peptide targeting CCR10-eNOS binding is provided as is a cell-permeable construct and method of using the construct to promote or accelerate wound healing, particularly diabetic wound healing.

Provided herein are multivalent CD20-binding molecules, and compositions thereof, for use in selective killing of specific cell types and/or as therapeutics for the treatment of a variety of diseases, including cancer, tumors, and immune disorders. Certain multivalent CD20-binding molecules can be used to deliver agents into CD20-expressing cells, collecting diagnostic information, and/or monitoring the treatment of diseases, such as cancers, tumors, and immune disorders.

This disclosure relates generally to an EGFR antibody and its therapeutic effects on tumor inhibition in vitro and in vivo, alone or in combination with various chemotherapeutic agents. In particular, the present disclosure relates to methods for the treatment of cancer, comprising administering an EGFR antibody, alone or in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent.

The disclosure provides a fusion protein comprising at least one antigenic fragment of a protein from a bacterium from genus Streptococcus, as well as means for its expression. Outer membrane vesicles and vaccines comprising the fusion protein are also disclosed, as well as a method of vaccination using such vaccines.

The present invention is directed to a composition and method which to treat diseases and to enhance a regulated immune response. More particularly, the present invention is drawn to compositions that are based on dendritic cells modified to express an inducible form of a co-stimulatory polypeptide.

The present invention is relative to a cell comprising a nucleic acid molecule encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) for use in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), wherein the CAR comprises an antibody or antibody fragment which includes an anti-IL-1RAP binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain comprising at least a stimulatory domain

Provided are ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor (CNTFR) ligands. In certain aspects, a CNTFR ligand of the present disclosure exhibits increased affinity for CNTFR relative to the corresponding wild-type CNTFR ligand. In certain aspects, a CNTFR ligand of the present disclosure results in reduced binding affinity of glycoprotein 130 (gp130), leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR), or both, for a complex including the CNTFR ligand and CNTFR, relative to the binding affinity for a complex including the corresponding wild-type CNTFR ligand and CNTFR. In certain aspects, a CNTFR ligand of the present disclosure has both of the aforementioned properties. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions including the CNTFR ligands, as well as methods of using the CNTFR ligands.

Provided are a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide including a reporter moiety, a substrate moiety, and a destabilization moiety, a host cell including the same, and use thereof to measure the level of a protease by using the recombinant polynucleotide.
