The present disclosure pertains to a GUCY2C-binding polypeptide and uses thereof and, specifically, to a GUCY2C-binding polypeptide, a fusion protein including same, a chimeric antigen receptor, an immune cell expressing the chimeric antigen receptor, and a use thereof for treatment and/or diagnosis of cancer.

A cancer treatment composition and a cancer treatment method. Provided are a cancer treatment method and a treatment composition for patients for whom an anti-PD-1 antibody or anti-PD-L1 antibody treatment has failed.

Genetically modified compositions, such as non-viral vectors and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer are disclosed. Disclosed are methods of utilizing a CRISPR system to generate genetically modified compositions. Also disclosed are the methods of making and using the genetically modified compositions for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer.

The invention is directed to treatment of cancer, infections and various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions by affecting regulatory T cell stability and function via a Neuropilin-1:Semaphorin axis.

The invention is directed to treatment of cancer, infections and various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions by affecting regulatory T cell stability and function via a Neuropilin-1:Semaphorin axis. The present invention satisfies this and other needs by demonstrating that the regulatory T cell (Treg)-restricted neuropilin-1 (Nrp 1) interacts with the cell surface ligand semaphorin-4a (Sema4a) (e.g., on conventional T cells (Tconv), conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), and/or plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs)) to potentiate reg function and enhance their survival at inflammatory sites.

The present invention refers to an in vitro or ex vivo method for the treatment of isolated CD8+ T cells. In particular, it refers to an in vitro or ex vivo method for obtaining an isolated population of CD8+ T cells comprising exposing isolated CD8+ T cells to an excess of sodium chloride. CD8+ T cells obtained by such method, pharmaceutical compositions including them and their medical uses, in particular for the prevention and/or the treatment of cancer, are also within the invention.

Provided herein, among other things, are methods of administering NK cells comprising poly nucleotides comprising a nucleic acid encoding an anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR).
