A method for coupling an antibody to a surface of a cell comprises the following steps: (1) chemically modifying sialic acid to obtain a sialic acid derivative containing an azide group; (2) absorbing the sialic acid derivative by the cell to obtain a cell modified with the azide group; (3) modifying the antibody with a conjunction compound to obtain a modified antibody; (4) co-culturing the modified antibody with the cell modified with the azide group. The present disclosure modifies natural sialic acid molecules in vitro through chemical synthesis methods, and utilizes modified natural sialic acid molecules to realize antibody modification on the surface of the cell. The modification method of the present disclosure is simple, low-cost, safe, and efficient, does not need complex gene editing or enzyme catalytic operation, and has universality. In theory, the modification method can realize the coupling of any antibody or macro-molecular substance on the surface of the cell.

The present invention provides a use of IFN-γ in preparing an anti-tumor adjuvant drug, wherein the IFN-γ enhances killing effect of the T cell preparation on tumor cell by sensitizing the tumor cell; the T cell preparation comprises non-genetically engineered T cell and/or genetically engineered T cell; and the IFN-γ comprises full-length or fragment of wild-type or mutant IFN-γ. The present invention revises the current understanding of IFN-γ in the prior art and finds that the IFN-γ inhibits the acquired immune resistance mediated by PD-L1-PD-1 and enhances the anti-tumor effect of immunotherapy by activating the IFN-γ signaling pathway in tumor cell.

The present invention relates to the construction and application of a fusion protein vaccine platform. The present invention provides a vaccine, comprising a fusion protein containing an interferon-target antigen-immunoglobulin Fc region (or antibody) and a Th cell helper epitope. The present invention also relates to use of a fusion protein containing an interferon-target antigen-immunoglobulin Fc region (or antibody) and a Th cell helper epitope in the preparation of prophylactic or therapeutic compositions. The vaccine of the present invention can be produced by eukaryotic cell expression systems to prepare wild-type and various mutant antigen vaccines, and vaccination by means of subcutaneous/muscular or nasal or other routes can lead to a strong immune response to a body. The vaccine of the present invention can be used as a prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine.

The present invention relates a chimeric antigen receptor, which has a structure of X-Y-CD3zeta-M-N; wherein X comprises a tumor targeting antibody or a ligand or receptor capable of specifically binding to a tumor. Y is an intracellular region of a costimulatory receptor selected from ICOS, CD28, CD27, HVEM, LIGHT, CD40L, 4-1BB, OX40, DR3, GITR, CD30, TIM1, SLAM, CD2, and CD226; M is an intracellular region of a gamma chain family cytokine receptor, the cytokine receptor being selected from IL2Ra, IL2Rb, IL4Ra, IL7Ra, IL9Ra, IL15Ra, and IL21Ra. N is an intracellular region of IL2Rg. The present invention further provides a CAR-T cell constructed from the recombinant expression vector of said chimeric antigen receptor, a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. The CAR-T cell of the present invention significantly improves tumor killing capacity and amplification capacity. The CAR T cell comprises a third signal receptor, has a potential effect-enhancing function, and only works on the CAR-T cell, thereby reducing the risk of causing an immune side effect.
