Disclosed are immunotherapeutic compositions and the concurrent use of combinations of such compositions for the improved induction of therapeutic immune responses and/or for the prevention, amelioration and/or treatment of disease, including, but not limited to, cancer and infectious disease.

A composition comprising mesoporous silica rods comprising an immune cell recruitment compound and an immune cell activation compound, and optionally comprising an antigen such as a tumor lysate. The composition is used to elicit an immune response to a vaccine antigen.

A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of disease cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.

The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition including (e.g. for use as an adjuvant) a polymeric carrier cargo complex, comprising as a carrier a polymeric carrier formed by disulfide-crosslinked cationic components; and as a cargo at least one nucleic acid molecule, and at least one antigen that is selected from an antigen from a pathogen associated with infectious disease; an antigen associated with allergy or allergic disease; an antigen associated with autoimmune disease; or an antigen associated with a cancer or tumour disease, or in each case a fragment, variant and/or derivative of said antigen. The pharmaceutical composition allows for efficient induction of an adaptive immune response directed against said antigen. The present invention furthermore provides kits, as well as the use of the pharmaceutical composition or the kit as a vaccine, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases and tumour or cancer diseases.

The present invention provides a novel technology useful for a cancer vaccine therapy, that is, a pharmaceutical composition wherein a Toll-like receptor agonist, LAG-3 protein, a variant thereof or a derivative thereof, at least one immunogenic agent, and an immune checkpoint inhibitor are administered in combination.

The present invention is directed to the field of immunotherapy. Specifically, the invention provides compositions and methods for improved T cell modulation ex vivo and in vivo and for the treatment of cancer and other pathologies. More specifically, embodiments of the invention are directed to the use of soluble NTB-A polypeptides or agonists thereof for the treatment of cancer patients, for preventing and treating cytopenia in susceptible patients, and for the ex vivo preparation of improved cell compositions.

The present invention in general relates to combinations of mRNA molecules encoding CD40, caTLR4 and CD70 with mRNA molecules encoding tumor-associated antigens for use as therapeutic vaccine in the treatment of metastatic cancer patients primarily with stable malignant melanoma disease, but also extending into other cancer types and to patient whose disease has shown partial response on prior therapy. Said uses may further encompass the administration of checkpoint inhibitors. The present invention further provides administration schemes for such therapies focusing on administration of the therapeutic into lymph nodes, so called intra-nodal therapy.

Described herein are compositions and methods for treating cancer and autoimmune diseases.

The present disclosure provides a microemulsion-based vaccine delivery system, and further provides a preparation method and an application thereof. Using the microemulsion absorbing a series of metal ion compounds, and adding an antigen in a preparation process, antigen entrapment can be realized and a stable vaccine preparation is obtained. The prepared vaccine can effectively be taken up by an antigen-presenting cell and effectively delivered to lymph nodes to induce an antigen-specific immune response, and the same has a wide application prospect.
