COMBINATION TUMOR IMMUNOTHERAPY
Provided are methods for treating cancer using local administration of certain CpG oligonucleotides (CpG ODN) and systemic administration of a checkpoint inhibitor such as an anti-PD-1 antibody, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, and/or an anti-CTLA-4 antibody. In preferred embodiments, the CpG ODN are selected based on their propensity to induce high amounts of interferon alpha (IFN-α) and T-cell activation relative to interleukin-10 (IL-10) and B-cell activation. In certain embodiments, the methods further include pretreatment with radiotherapy, to potentiate the combination immunotherapy.
RNA for treatment of autoimmune diseases
The present invention relates to non-immunogenic RNA. This RNA forms the basis for the development of therapeutic agents for inducing tolerance towards an autoantigen and thus, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Detecting ovarian cancer
Provided herein is technology for ovarian cancer screening and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, compositions, and related uses for detecting the presence of ovarian cancer and sub-types of ovarian cancer (e.g., clear cell ovarian cancer, endometrioid ovarian cancer, mucinous ovarian cancer, serous ovarian cancer).

Methods for cancer treatment
Residual, refractory or relapsed cancer is treated by immunostimulation in the presence of allogeneic immune effector cells, optimally in combination with radiation therapy. The methods of the disclosure induce a systemic allogeneic anti-tumor immune response that results in tumor regression in untreated sites of disease, i.e. non-injected, non-irradiated, etc.
