Abstract:
This disclosure describes novel methods for predicting responsiveness of a patient to treatment of a cancer therapy (e.g., adoptive cell therapy (ACT)) and novel CD8+ T-cell network-based biomarkers that can improve patient selection and guide the design of adoptive cell therapy clinical trials.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes novel T cell receptors (TCRs) specific for tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and methods of use thereof. The disclosed TCRs and methods of use expand the applications of adoptive cell therapy and TCR-based cellular immunotherapies.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a population of lymphocytes comprising at least 90% CD3+ T cells and less than 5% B cells, wherein at least 70% of said T cell portion are viable, at least 20% are CD27/CD28 double positive and less than 10% are triple positive for CD45RA, CD57 and KLRG1 and a method for expansion of a population of lymphocytes specific for one or more antigens comprising a single culture phase.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for the joint analysis of regulation of gene expression and gene expression in single cells. Provided are methods for obtaining gene expression information for a single nucleus, the methods comprising deriving a DNA library from the genomic DNA in one or more nuclei and deriving an RNA library from the RNA in one or more nuclei, sequencing the molecules in the RNA library and the DNA library, and correlating the RNA library and the DNA library for each of the one or more nuclei.
Abstract:
Provided herein are antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that bind to tumor endothelial marker 1 (TEM1), as well as methods of using the disclosed antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof, including methods of treating cancer, reducing tumor growth, reducing tumor metastasis, and/or reducing tumor-associated fibrosis in a subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods for bisulfite-free identification in a nucleic acid sequence of the locations of 5-methylcytosine, 5- hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-carboxylcytosine and 5- formylcytosine.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human GITR, as well as compositions comprising such antibodies. In a specific aspect, the antibodies specifically bind to human GITR and deactivate, reduce, or inhibit GITR activity. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating autoimmune or inflammatory diseases disorders, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to human GITR and deactivates, reduces, or inhibits GITR activity.
Abstract:
Specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF-β3) are provided, particularly recognizing human and mouse TGF-β3, particularly antibodies and fragments that do not recognize or bind TGF-β1 or TGF-β2. Particular antibodies are provided which specifically recognize and neutralize TGF-β3. These antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with activated or elevated TGF-β3, including cancer, and for modulating immune cells and immune response, including immune response to cancer or cancer antigens. The anti-TGF-β3 antibodies, variable regions or CDR domain sequences thereof, and fragments thereof may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics, immune modulators, or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof. Antibodies of this type are exemplified by the novel antibodies hereof, including antibody MTGF-β3-9, MTGF-β3-12, MTGF-β3-16, MTGF-β3-17 and MTGF-β3-19, whose sequences are provided herein.
Abstract:
The instant disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human CTLA-4 and antagonize CTLA-4 function. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, expression vectors and host cells for making these antibodies, and methods of treating a subject using these antibodies.
Abstract:
Expression of proteolytically active, high molecular weight ADAM protease is relatively increased in tumour cells that also express the putative tumour stem cell marker CD133. An antibody or antibody fragment such as 8C7 monoclonal antibody may be used to selectively bind to proteolytically active, high molecular weight AD AMI 0 protease to thereby detect tumour cells and also as a therapeutic agent for treating cancers, tumours and other malignancies inclusive of leukemia, lymphoma, lung cancer, colon cancer, adenoma, neuroblastoma, brain tumour, renal tumour, prostate cancer, sarcoma and/or melanoma.
