Abstract:
Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are white blood cells that are actively recruited to the tumor site to mount an immune response against tumor growth and metastasis. The disclosure provides methods for treating cancer that comprise steps of isolating CD8+ T cells from a sample derived from a subject, expanding the CD8+ T cells in the presence of interleukin-10, and administering the expanded CD8+ T cells to the subject. Methods of treating cancer may be used in combination with inhibitors of the complement signaling pathway.
Abstract:
Disclosed are targeted interleukin-10 molecules that may be useful for treating cancer. Disclosed methods of treating cancer may be used in combination with inhibitors of the complement signaling pathway.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides miRNA biomarkers useful for determining the risk of, prognosis of, and/or diagnosis of conditions such as GVHD in a subject.
Abstract:
Provided are compositions and methods for donor selection and prognosis of acute graft-versus-host disease. Provided is a method, which comprises obtaining a first biological sample from a first subject at risk of GVHD; detecting a level of miR-142-3p in the sample; and determining a risk of, prognosis of, or diagnosis of GVHD in the first subject. Provided also is a method for selecting a stem cell transplant donor, which comprises obtaining a first biological sample from a first subject and a second biological sample from a second subject, detecting a level of miR-142-3p in the first biological sample and the second biological sample; determining a ratio of the level of miR-142-3p in the second biological sample to the level of miR-142-3p in the first biological sample; determining the likelihood of the first subject will develop GVHD based on the ratio; and selecting a transplant donor based on the ratio.
