The present disclosure provides diacylglycerol kinase modulating compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, for treating cancer, including solid tumors, and viral infections, such as HIV or hepatitis B virus infection. The compounds can be used alone or in combination with other agents.

Provided is an African swine fever virus chimeric protein. The chimeric protein comprises: (1) an African swine fever virus p72 domain I; (2) an African swine fever virus p72 domain II; (3) an African swine fever virus p72 domain III; and (4) an African swine fever virus antigenic protein. By using African swine fever virus p72 protein as a skeleton, the chimeric protein provided in the present invention will exhibit antigenic epitopes of African swine fever virus antigenic proteins p54, p30, CD2v, and p12, achieve a good immune effect, and can produce significant humoral and cell-mediated immune response.

Provided herein are compounds of Formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions that include a compound described herein (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound described herein) and methods of synthesizing the same. Also provided herein are methods of treating diseases and/or conditions with a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The present invention provides a method for preparation of a lyophilized formulation of an anti-CD 20 antibody as well as to a lyophilized formulation of an anti-CD 20 antibody, comprising an anti-CD 20 antibody and having a residual moisture content in the range of 1% to 10%. The present invention also relates to the reconstituted formulation obtained by the method described herein, the use of said antibody formulation as a medicament, the use of the lyophilized formulation for the preparation of a medicament and a method of treating a patient.

The present invention relates to T cells, in particular a non-activated T cell, comprising an exogenous nucleic acid encoding a T cell Receptor (TCR) specific for a virus. An embodiment of the invention is directed to a non-activated (resting) T cell expressing Hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope s183-191 TCR capable of inhibiting viral replication and which shows reduced expression of perforins and/or granzymes in response to stimulation as compared to an activated T cell expressing the said TCR. Also encompassed are methods for producing such cells, compositions, pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising such cells and medical uses thereof.
