Immune cell compositions and methods of using same
Disclosed herein are cells that are immunoinhibitory cell, which cells recombinantly express a dominant negative form of an inhibitor of a cell-mediated immune response of the cell. In certain embodiments, the immunoinhibitory cell is a regulatory T cell. In another aspect, provided herein is a regulatory T cell that recombinantly expresses a dominant negative form of an inhibitor of a regulatory T cell-mediated immune response. The cells can be sensitized to an antigen that is the target of a pathologic immune response associated with an immune-mediated disorder. Additionally provided are methods of using such cells to treat an immune-mediated disorder in a subject in need thereof.
Recombinant PD-L1 Peptides and Methods of Use
The present disclosure provides soluble mutant PD-L1 peptides, polynucleotides and vectors encoding the peptides, and methods of using the peptides to elicit differentiation of regulatory T cells.
METHODS OF ISOLATING T CELL RECEPTORS HAVING ANTIGENIC SPECIFICITY FOR A CANCER-SPECIFIC MUTATION
Disclosed are methods of isolating a TCR having antigenic specificity for a mutated amino acid sequence encoded by a cancer-specific mutation, the method comprising: identifying one or more genes in the nucleic acid of a cancer cell of a patient, each gene containing a cancer-specific mutation that encodes a mutated amino acid sequence; inducing autologous APCs of the patient to present the mutated amino acid sequence; co-culturing autologous T cells of the patient with the autologous APCs that present the mutated amino acid sequence; selecting the autologous T cells; and isolating a nucleotide sequence that encodes the TCR from the selected autologous T cells, wherein the TCR has antigenic specificity for the mutated amino acid sequence encoded by the cancer-specific mutation. Also disclosed are related methods of preparing a population of cells, populations of cells, TCRs, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treating or preventing cancer.
Cell
The present invention provides a cell which co-expresses a first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and second CAR at the cell surface, each CAR comprising an antigen-binding domain, wherein the antigen-binding domain of the first CAR binds to CD19 and the antigen-binding domain of the second CAR binds to CD22.
ARTIFICIAL MULTI-ANTIGEN FUSION PROTEIN AND PREPARATION AND USE THEREOF
Provided are an artificial multi-antigen fusion protein and a preparation method thereof. The fusion protein can effectively stimulate CD8+T and CD4+ T cell immunities, and can be applied to immunodiagnostics or serve as a prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine.
METHODS FOR ISOLATING CD8+ SELECTED T CELLS
A method of producing an engineered T cell population includes obtaining a cell population comprising a CD8+ T cell, isolating the CD8+ T cell from the obtained cell population, activating the isolated CD8+ T cell, introducing a nucleic acid encoding a T cell receptor (TCR) binding to an antigen in a complex with an MHC molecule into the activated CD8+ T cell, and expanding the introduced CD8+ T cell to obtain the engineered T cell population.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CYTOTOXIC CD4+ T CELLS
Provided herein, inter alia, are compositions and methods for treating bladder cancer, including CD4+T cells that can be cultured ex vivo to generate a population of cytotoxic CD4.sup.+T cells capable of killing bladder cancer tumor cells. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such a cytotoxic CD4.sup.+T cell population, as well as methods for treating an individual having or suspected of having bladder cancer are also provided.
DIMERIZING AGENT REGULATED IMMUNORECEPTOR COMPLEXES
The present disclosure provides improved compositions for adoptive T cell therapies for treating, preventing, or ameliorating at least one symptom of a cancer, infectious disease, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, and immunodeficiency, or condition associated therewith.
POPULATION OF IMMUNOREGULATORY T CELLS SPECIFIC FOR AN IRRELEVANT ANTIGEN AND USES THEREOF FOR PREVENTING OR TREATING IMMUNE DISEASES
The present invention relates methods and compositions for preventing or treating various immune diseases including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) using populations or compositions of immunoregulatory T cells specific for an irrelevant antigen; such cells being activated in vivo by a simultaneous, separate or sequential administration of said antigen.
METHODS OF ISOLATING T CELL RECEPTORS HAVING ANTIGENIC SPECIFICITY FOR A CANCER-SPECIFIC MUTATION
Disclosed are methods of isolating a TCR having antigenic specificity for a mutated amino acid sequence encoded by a cancer-specific mutation, the method comprising: identifying one or more genes in the nucleic acid of a cancer cell of a patient, each gene containing a cancer-specific mutation that encodes a mutated amino acid sequence; inducing autologous APCs of the patient to present the mutated amino acid sequence; co-culturing autologous T cells of the patient with the autologous APCs that present the mutated amino acid sequence; selecting the autologous T cells; and isolating a nucleotide sequence that encodes the TCR from the selected autologous T cells, wherein the TCR has antigenic specificity for the mutated amino acid sequence encoded by the cancer-specific mutation. Also disclosed are related methods of preparing a population of cells, populations of cells, TCRs, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treating or preventing cancer.
