The present invention also relates to an antigen composition comprising at least two mesothelioma cancer cell associated antigens and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention further relates to an antigen composition comprising at least two mesothelioma cancer cell associated antigens and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for use as a pharmaceutical, in particular for use in the treatment of mesothelioma.

Provided methods of obtaining a plurality of T cell receptors specifically recognizing a target tumor antigen peptide from an individual that has clinically benefitted from an immunotherapy, such as Multiple Antigen Specific Cell Therapy. Also provided tumor-specific TCRs, engineered immune cells expressing the TCRs and methods of treating a disease using the engineered immune cells.

The present invention relates generally to the treatment of PML by infusion of activated and expanded autologous lymphocytes.

The present invention encompasses methods and compositions for the generation and use of cytotoxic T lymphocytes that target multiple viruses or that are specific for multiple tumor antigens. In specific embodiments, the generation methods employ use of certain cytokines to promote proliferation and reduce cell death in an activated T cell population and/or that employ a particular bioreactor having a gas permeable membrane.

The present invention provides a complex for use in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer, the complex comprising a) a cell penetrating peptide, b) at least one antigen or antigenic epitope, and c) at least one TLR peptide agonist, wherein the components a)-c) are covalently linked. In particular, compositions for use in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer, such as a pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines are provided.

The present disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods for improving T cell therapy. In particular, the disclosure provides polypeptides and recombinant nucleic acid constructs and/or recombinant nucleic acids encoding polypeptides having mutations capable of altering T cell signaling, cytokine production, and/or in vivo persistence in tumors of therapeutic T cells comprising the mutation. The T cell signaling can be by NFAT, NF-?B and/or AP-1 pathways. The disclosure also provides vectors and cells including the polypeptides and/or recombinant nucleic acid constructs and/or recombinant nucleic acids of the disclosure as well as methods of preparing a T cell for use in cell therapy, and methods of identifying a mutation useful for improving T cell therapy.

Disclosed provides a method of treating measure residue disease (MRD) in a subject with cancer using an allogeneic leukemia-derived cell as a vaccine based on the information provided by prognostic biomarkers comprising dendritic cells including cDC1 cDC2, and/or pDC; CD8+ T cells including CD8+CD45RA+ cells, CD8+CD45RA? CCR7+CM T cells, and/or CD8 RO+ T cells; B cells; NK cells including CD56++NK cells and/or CD56+NK cells; CD4 CD161+ T cells; CD14+CD16? non-inflammatory monocytes, or any combination thereof.

The present invention encompasses methods and compositions for the generation and use of cytotoxic T lymphocytes that target multiple viruses or that are specific for multiple tumor antigens. In specific embodiments, the generation methods employ use of certain cytokines to promote proliferation and reduce cell death in an activated T cell population and/or that employ a particular bioreactor having a gas permeable membrane.

The present invention provides an isolated cell composition suitable for adoptive immunotherapy, as well as methods of manufacturing the cell compositions and methods of treatment with the cell compositions. The composition comprises, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, at least about 10.sup.6 CD8+ T cells specific for target peptide antigen(s). In various embodiments, the composition is predominately CD8+ T cells, and at least about 20% of T cells in the composition exhibit a central or effector memory phenotype, providing for a robust and durable adoptive therapy from a natural T cell repertoire that has undergone natural selection.
