The invention is directed to a process for providing a cell comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for one or more target antigens exposed on tumor microenvironment cells characterized by providing a cell sample comprising tumor microenvironment cells and non-tumor microenvironment cells and repeating the steps of—contacting the cell tissue with a conjugate comprising a fluorescent moiety and an antigen recognizing moiety—removing unbound conjugate from the cell tissue and detecting cells bound to the conjugate by the fluorescence radiation emitted by the fluorescent moieties of the first conjugates—erasing the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent moieties of the conjugates until identifying at least two conjugates provided with antigen recognizing moieties recognizing different antigens, allowing in combination to discriminate between tumor microenvironment cells and non-tumor microenvironment cells and providing cells with the identified at least two antigen recognizing moieties as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Preferable, the tumor microenvironment cells are tumor microenvironment cells from tumor stromal cells or PaCa cells.

Provided herein are nucleic acid molecules, proteins, compositions and methods for treating brain cancer in a subject. In some embodiments, the compositions comprise cancer antigens hTERT, WT-1, and PSMA. In some embodiments, the compositions also comprise an adjuvant. The methods comprise administering to a subject in need thereof the cancer antigens. According to certain embodiments, the methods further involve administering the adjuvant and an anti-PD-1 antibody. In certain embodiments, the methods further comprise administering radiation therapy and/or a chemotherapeutic agent. In certain embodiments, the methods are clinically proven safe, clinically proven effective, or both.

What is described is a method for treating cancer in a patient assaying levels of (a) CXCR1 and/or CXCR2 ligands or (b) myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and/or neutrophils in the patient, and if the patient has increased levels of (a) or (b), then administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound having a structure selected from the group consisting of formulas SX-517, SX-576, and SX-682

The present disclosure relates to CCL22 as a novel T cell target in cancer immunosuppression.

This disclosure relates to populations and compositions of purified cancer cell-derived vesicles and uses thereof.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions dock and lock (DNL) complexes comprising an AD moiety selected from an AKAP protein and a DDD moiety selected from a protein kinase A regulatory subunit. Also disclosed are fusion proteins comprising an AD moiety or DDD moiety attached to an effector moiety. The DDD moieties form dimers that bind to the AD moiety to form the DNL complexes. The effector moieties may be selected from a wide range of known effector moieties that produce one or more physiological effects, including but not limited to cell death. The DNL complexes may further comprise one or more diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. The DNL complexes are of use for treating and/or diagnosing a variety of diseases or conditions.
