Disclosed herein are non-viral methods to ablate FOXP1 in T cells while effectively expressing chimeric receptors. Therefore, disclosed herein is a chimeric cell expressing a chimeric receptor, wherein the chimeric receptor is encoded by a transgene, and wherein the transgene is inserted in the genome of the cell at a location that disrupts expression or activity of an endogenous FOXP1 protein.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating T cell exhaustion in a subject, by administering a PTD-MYC fusion protein (e.g., an HIV TAT-MYC fusion protein) or immune cells treated with a PTD-MYC fusion protein. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided herein.

The inventors provide a new therapeutic strategy to treat cancers expressing embryonic antigens. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method of treating a subject suffering from a cancer comprising a step of administration simultaneously, separately or sequentially to said subject a therapeutically amount of i) a population of derived engineered fetal stem cells carrying cancer associated fetal neo-antigen and ii) a compound selected from a group which activates immune response, as a combined preparation.

The invention relates to T cells, and to methods of producing tissue-resident memory T cells (T.sub.RM). The invention concerns tissue-resident memory T cells (T.sub.RM) per se which have been obtained from the methods of the invention, compositions comprising these T.sub.RM cells, and the use of these T.sub.RM cells and the compositions in therapy, such as in immuno-therapy for treating cancer.

The present invention provides methods of producing in vitro derived neutrophils or macrophages in xenogen- and serum-free conditions from pluripotent stem cells and in vitro derived populations of neutrophils and macrophages. Methods of treatment using in vitro derived neutrophils or macrophages are also contemplated.

The present invention is generally directed to a colorectal (CRC) cell atlas that provides methods of predicting outcomes of cancer patients and therapeutic targets for treating patients in need thereof. The atlas may be used to predict a response to immunotherapy, in particular checkpoint blockade therapy and adoptive cell transfer. Disclosed herein are previously unidentified gene programs in tumors that can be used to predict response and provide for therapeutic targets that can be used to shift a tumor to a responsive phenotype.

The invention provides methods of treating CD-19 positive malignancies in human subjects with suitable doses of switchable CAR-T cells and complementary switch molecules.

Embodiments of the disclosure concern methods and compositions related to T cell receptors directed against breast cancer neoantigens, including immunotherapeutic compositions of any kind. In specific embodiments, the TCRs are identified following particular methods of producing neoantigen-specific T cells, including particular culturing methods.

The present invention includes compositions and methods for treating atherosclerosis. In certain embodiments, atherosclerosis is treated using a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell specific for modified low-density lipoprotein.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating T cell exhaustion in a subject, by administering a PTD-MYC fusion protein (e.g., an HIV TAT-MYC fusion protein) or immune cells treated with a PTD-MYC fusion protein. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided herein.
