摘要:
The present invention generally embraces the treatment of diseases by targeting cells expressing an antigen on the cell surface. In particular the invention relates to a method for stimulating, priming and/or expanding in vivo T cells genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeted to an antigen, comprising contacting the T cells with the antigen or a variant thereof in vivo. In one embodiment, the antigen or variant thereof is provided by administering a nucleic acid encoding the antigen or variant thereof.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to fusion proteins that comprise one or more modified alpha virus surface glycoproteins and one or more tumor specific antigens. Also disclosed are fusion proteins that comprise one or more modified alpha virus surface glycoproteins and one or more viral specific antigens. Also disclosed are fusion proteins that comprise one or more modified alpha virus surface glycoproteins. It also relates to methods to activate the immune system in cancer patients to infiltrate and kill tumor cells or cells infected with a latent virus. The present disclosure provides a platform technology that elicits a faster, broader and stronger immune response using the fusion proteins.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions comprising biodegradable particles that encapsulate two or more epitopes linked together by one or more linkers that are susceptible to cleavage by specific proteases. The present invention further provides methods for inducing antigen-specific tolerance and protective immune responses and for the treatment inflammatory diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, allergies, cancers, or infectious diseases.
