    摘要: The present invention provides methods and compositions for expanding Treg cells ex vivo or in vivo using one or more conjugates comprising a costimulatory moiety that stimulates at least one of three signals involved in Treg cell development and/or using dendritic cells pulsed with antigens and modified to display TGF-β, or hematopoetic stem cells or bone marrow cells modified to display TGF-β. The methods and compositions are useful, for example, in the treatment and prevention of autoimmune disease, including Type 1 diabetes and in preventing foreign graft rejection, as well as to establish mixed chimerism, induce tolerance to autoantigens, alloantigens or xenoantigens, beta cell regeneration, prevention of foreign graft rejection, and treatment of a genetically inherited hematopoietic disorder.

    摘要: This invention provides chimeric proteins comprising an apoptosis-inducing molecule fused to a member of a binding pair that is capable of binding to a selected cell that expresses a death receptor. When the selected cell is exposed in vivo or ex vivo to the chimeric protein, the selected cell undergoes apoptosis. The preferred embodiment is FasL protein fused to streptavidin. The methods of using the chimeric proteins are especially beneficial in causing activated lymphocytes to undergo apoptosis, thus modulating the immune response. Patients with conditions such as asthma or allergy, or patients undergoing transplantation with allogeneic or xenogeneic tissue are examples of patients who benefit from the methods of this invention.

    摘要: Streptavidin(SA)-4-1BBL and TLR agonists such as monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) exhibit surprising synergy as adjuvants, inducing immune responses against weak antigens. Accordingly, there are provided adjuvant compositions comprising 4-1BBL and a toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist, such as MPL, methods of inducing an immune response against an antigen in a subject, comprising administering to the subject (a) the antigen, (b) a TLR agonist and, (c) 4-1BBL, and methods of treating a tumor or a cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject (a) an antigen associated with the tumor or cancer, (b) a TLR agonist, and (c) 4-1BBL.
