摘要:
The present invention provides nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, methods and compositions to confer and/or augment immune responses mediated by cellular immunotherapy, such as by adoptively transferring CD8+ central memory T cells or combinations of central memory T cells with CD4+ T cells that are genetically modified to express a chimeric receptor under the control of an inducible promoter. In some alternatives the genetically modified host cell comprises a nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide coding for a chimeric antigen receptor comprising a ligand binding domain, a polynucleotide comprising a spacer region, a polynucleotide comprising a transmembrane domain, and a polynucleotide comprising an intracellular signaling domain under the control of a drug inducible promoter. Controlling the expression of the chimeric receptor provides for the ability to turn expression on and off depending on the status of the patient. Pharmaceutical formulations produced by the method, and methods of using the same, are also described.

摘要:
The present application relates to plasma cells and plasma cell precursors that express a macromolecule, such as a protein, protein mimetic or a peptide and compositions comprising these plasma cells or plasma cell precursors. The application further relates to methods of using and making the plasma cells and plasma cell precursors that express the macromolecule. Methods of treatment comprising administering the plasma cells or plasma cell precursors are also contemplated.

A CD19-OR-CD20 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) protein construct is provided. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding the CD19-OR-CD20 CAR; and methods of use, e.g. in the treatment of B cell malignancies. The CD19-OR-CD20 CAR of the invention is a bispecific CAR that can trigger T-cell activation upon detection of either CD19 or CD20 (or both). It is a single molecule that confers two-input recognition capability upon human T cells engineered to stably express this CAR.
摘要:
Aspects of the invention described herein concern the incorporation of a FOXP3 cDNA (e.g., full-length human codon-optimized cDNA) into a FOXP3 gene or a non-FOXP3 locus so as to provide constitutive or regulated FOXP3 expression in a primary human CD34+ cells or cells derived from edited CD34+ cells. In some embodiments, guide RNA sequences that are directed to FOXP3, AAVS1, or other candidate loci are used for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene regulation, and gene delivery cassettes for HDR based gene-modification are provided.

Some embodiments of the methods and compositions provided herein include methods and materials involved in binding a binder (e.g., an antibody, antigen binding fragment, antibody domain, CAR, cell engager, and/or ADC) to an FGFR4 polypeptide. For example, binders (e.g., antibodies, antigen binding fragments, antibody domains, CARs, cell engagers, and/or ADCs) acidic box that bind to an FGFR4 polypeptide and methods and materials for using one or more such binding molecules to treat a mammal (e.g., a human) having cancer are provided. Some embodiments of the methods and compositions provided herein include chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) which specifically bind to fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4). Some embodiments include nucleic acids encoding such CARs, and cells containing such CARs. Some embodiments include the use of such CARs in safe and effective therapies for a cancer, such as an FGFR4-expressing cancer, such as a rhabdomyosarcoma.

摘要:
A method for determining a presence of arthritis in a patient, including obtaining a first image of a patient's joint, wherein the first image is a visible light image, obtaining a second image of the patient's joint, wherein the second image is a thermal light image, determining an outline of the patient's joint from the first image, determining an outline of a reference area from the first image, wherein the patient's joint is adjacent to the reference area, determining a first representative topological temperature within the outline of the patient's joint of the first image from the second image, determining a second representative topological temperature within the outline of the reference area of the first image from the second image, comparing the first representative topological temperature and the second representative topological temperature; and determining a likelihood of the presence of arthritis within the patient's joint.
