    摘要: The present disclosure describes a method of producing T cells exhibiting an enhanced memory T cell phenotype, the method comprising: modulating a population of T cells to enhance the expression and/or function of high mobility group protein Y (HMGY). In embodiments, the method may include introducing a polynucleotide encoding HMGY into a population of T cells, wherein expression of HMGY is higher in the population of T cells as compared to a population of T cells that are not introduced with the polynucleotide, and the memory T cell phenotype of the population of T cells is enhanced as compared to T cells that are not introduced with the polynucleotide. In embodiments, the method can also include introducing a polynucleotide encoding one or more genes associated with HMGY, for example, upstream or downstream of the signaling pathway associated with HMGY and/or a transcription factor associated with HMGY.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for enhancing T cell response in vivo. For example, a method of enhancing T cell response in a subject or treating a subject having cancer, the method comprising: administering an effective amount of a composition comprising modified cells to the subject having a form of cancer associated with or expressing an antigen, for example, a solid tumor antigen; and administering (1) a nucleic acid encoding the antigen, (2) additional modified cells comprising the nucleic acid or the antigen, or (3) microorganisms, for example cold viruses, comprising the nucleic acid or the antigen. In embodiments, the modified cells comprise mixed cells targeting a solid tumor antigen and a white blood cell (WBC) antigen. In embodiments, the modified cells comprise a dominant negative form of an immune checkpoint molecule (e.g., PD-1). In embodiments, the modified cells comprise an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a therapeutic agent, such as IL-12 and IFNγ.
