    Abstract: Described are cell-based cancer vaccines and anti-cancer immunotherapies. The vaccines include isolated tumor cells activated with one or more genotoxic drugs, and, optionally, treated with one or more MK2 inhibitors. The activated cells are highly immunogenic non-proliferative cells, and may be tested for immunogenicity ex vivo for priming T cells by co-incubating the isolated activated cells with dendritic cells and T cells. The vaccines are typically administered into patient's tumor to provide an intratumoral immune activation. Immune checkpoint inhibitor(s) (ICI) may be administered before, during, or after vaccine administration. ICI may be a component of the vaccine. The vaccines confer heightened cytotoxic immune response against the cancer cells, induce tumor regression, and enhance survival from cancer. The vaccines prevent tumor recurrence and induce a long-lasting anti-tumor immunological memory.

    Abstract: Protein antigens are provided. The protein antigens typically include a peptide antigen conjugated or fused to a chaperone protein to form a "chaperone-antigen" that increases lymph node uptake; improves an immune response; or a combination thereof relative to the peptide antigen alone. The immune response can be, for example, increased antigen-specific proliferation, enhanced cytokine production, stimulation of differentiation and/or effector functions, promotion of survival, rescue from exhaustion and/or anergy of T cells, or a combination thereof. Chaperon-antigens can also be used to induce tolerance and increase immune suppressive responses. In the most preferred embodiments, the peptide antigen is fused to the chaperone protein to form a fusion protein. The "chaperone-antigen" can be combined with an adjuvant to form a vaccine and administered to a subject to modulate an immune response to the antigen. Methods of increasing immune responses, treating cancer and infectious diseases and inducing tolerance are also provided.

    Abstract: A method of tracking cell identity across analytical platforms uses stochastic barcoding (SB). SB uses a randomly generated code based on one or more of the number, color and position of beads encapsulated together with a set of cells of interest. SB use is demonstrated in an application where cells are transferred from a microwell array into a microtitre plate while keeping their identity, and obtained an average identification accuracy of 96% for transfer of 100 blocks. Model scaling of the method up to 1000 blocks demonstrated that SB is able to achieve approximately 90% accuracy.
