摘要:
The present invention is directed to novel compositions that cause effective redirection of class I-immunity to Tc1 effectors, that take advantage of the unexpected loading of MHC I by peptide within IgG backbone combined with appropriate instruction of antigen presenting cells. Such compositions are able to transform a seemingly ineffective therapeutics into a highly effective one, associated with generation of class I-restricted cytolytic cells and IFN-γ, IL-2 producing T cells, further associated with protection against a highly virulent microbe or recovery from malignant tumoral process.
摘要:
The present application is directed to non-coding RNA motifs that are used in conjunction with an antigen or without an antigen to induce, enhance or modulate an immune response that compromises a B cell and a T cell component.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and compositions for inducing, entraining, and/or amplifying the immune response to MHC class-I restricted epitopes of carcinoma antigens to generate an effective anti-cancer immune response. The methods and compositions disclosed herein, can be used for prophylactic or therapeutic purposes. Further embodiments provide methods of treating a cell proliferative disease, such as cancer by providing to a subject in need thereof a therapeutic strategy comprising an immunogenic composition in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent.
摘要:
The invention described herein relates to improved strategies for designing and practicing treatments and clinical trials based upon active immunotherapy protocols, particularly by making diagnostic use of portions of the therapeutic regimen and adjusting the course of treatment if necessary. Embodiments of the invention include methods for determining a course of treatment and methods for treating a patient in which responsiveness to a non-final step of a multi-step active immunotherapy protocol is assessed to determine if, how and when to continue treatment, progress to a different stage of treatment, or discontinue treatment.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for inducing an immune response against various combinations of tumor-associated antigens, which can promote effective immunologic intervention in pathogenic processes. Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are directed to the use of effective combinations of TuAAs for the immunotherapy of patients with various types of cancer. Both immunogenic compositions for inducing an immune response to these combinations of antigens and methods for their use are disclosed.
摘要:
Some embodiments relate to analogs of peptides corresponding to class I MHC-restricted T cell epitopes and methods for their generation. These analogs can contain amino acid substitutions at residues that directly interact with MHC molecules, and can confer improved, modified or useful immunologic properties. Additionally classes of analogs, in which the various substitutions comprise the non-standard residues norleucine and/or norvaline, are disclosed.

摘要:
A composition comprises a lipid-based microstructure with at least one bioactive macromolecule. The composition provides improved bioavailability and is capable of rapidly releasing a bioactive macromolecule. It is believed that the improved bioavailability is due, at least in part, to the reduction of scavenging by bronchoalveolar macrophages and/or mucociliary clearance.
