摘要:
The presently disclosed subject matter provides for methods and compositions for treating cancer (e.g., multiple myeloma). It relates to anti-CD56 antibodies, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that specifically target human CD56, and immunoresponsive cells comprising such CARs. The presently disclosed CD56-specific CARs have enhanced immune-activating properties, including anti-tumor activity.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides for methods and compositions for enhancing the immune response toward cancers and pathogens. It relates to chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that specifically target human mesothelin, and immunoresponsive cells comprising such CARs. The presently disclosed mesothelin-targeted CARs have enhanced immune-activating properties, including anti-tumor activity.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for treating cancer by increasing radiation-induced damage to cancer without increasing radiation-induced side effects by increasing secretory ASMase levels specifically in tumor endothelium, and inducing apoptosis of tumor endothelial cells by treating the tumor with radiation. ASMase levels are increased in tumor endothelium by administration of a recombinant DNA construct comprising a region coding for a functional ASMase linked to particular transcriptional regulatory sequences that confer tissue-specific expression of ASMase.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of adoptive immunotherapy. The invention provides methods for generating phenotypically defined, functional, and/or expandable T cells from pluripotent stem cells engineered through safe genetic modifications. The engineered cells may provide one or more of: 1) targeting a specific predetermined antigen expressed on the cell surface of a target cell in an HLA independent manner, 2) enhanced survival and functional potential 3) “off-the-shelf” T cells for administration to multiple recipients, eventually across immunogenic barriers, and/or 4) cytotoxic potential and anti-tumor activity.
