Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, are disclosed. Illustrative compositions comprise one or more bacterial polypeptides, immunogenic portions thereof, polynucleotides that encode such polypeptides, antigen presenting cell that expresses such polypeptides, and T cells that are specific for cells expressing such polypeptides. The disclosed compositions are useful, for example, in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of IBD.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to an immune preparation, a composition comprising the immune preparation and a use thereof, and a preparation method. an immune adjuvant provided by the present disclosure is an erythrocyte-derived vesicle, and the erythrocyte-derived vesicle has an erythrocyte content and a biofilm structured wrapped outside the erythrocyte content as a whole, and the two are matched with each other, so that the erythrocyte-derived vesicle serves as an endogenous substance of the body to activate an immune system of the body and effectively enhance a cellular immune response. Moreover, in this process, no toxic or side effect is caused to the body, and the method has the advantages of high biocompatibility, safe raw material source and simple preparation process.

The present invention relates to autologous dual-specific lymphocytes, methods of making and uses for the treatment of tumors. In particular, the invention relates to methods producing autologous dual-specific lymphocytes comprising an endogenous receptor for at least one tumor associated antigen and an exogenous receptor for a strong antigen.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting one or more diacylglycerol kinase (DOK) isoform in a cell in order to enhance the cytolytic activity of the cell. In one embodiment, the cells may be used in adoptive T cell transfer. For example, in some embodiments, the cell is modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Inhibition of DOK in T cells used in adoptive T cell transfer increases cytolytic activity of the T cells and thus may be used in the treatment of a variety of conditions, including cancer, infection, and immune disorders.

The present invention relates to lymphocytes, preferably that have been transinfected from dendritic cells with a bacterium, preferably CD4.sup.+ T cells, preferably Listeria monocytogenes, wherein said bacterium comprises a tumor peptide. It also relates to the use of lymphocytes for therapy and/or treatment of solid tumors, preferably melanoma, the kit or device which comprises for this purpose. Furthermore, it also refers to the transinfection method thereof.

The disclosure provides for compositions and methods comprising cell-derived vesicles induced from cells that have been genetically engineered or infected to express specific antigen(s), and uses thereof, including as a cell-free, cell-like vaccine.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting one or more diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) isoform in a cell in order to enhance the cytolytic activity of the cell. In one embodiment, the cells may be used in adoptive T cell transfer. For example, in some embodiments, the cell is modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Inhibition of DGK in T cells used in adoptive T cell transfer increases cytolytic activity of the T cells and thus may be used in the treatment of a variety of conditions, including cancer, infection, and immune disorders.

The present invention relates to a method for providing a neopeptide-specific T cell, wherein the neopeptide-specific T cell forms a complex having a half-life (T?) of at least 50 s with a neopeptide-MHC monomer. The present invention further relates to a T cell obtainable by the method as well as a pharmaceutical composition comprising such T cells.
