Abstract:
A method of treating an inflammation in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of perforin+ immature DCs (Perf+ im DCs), thereby treating the inflammation in the subject. Methods of generating Perf+ im DCs, wherein the Perf+ im DCs are inhibited from maturing are also disclosed. Isolated population of cells, pharmaceutical compositions and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method of generating an isolated population of non graft versus host disease (GvHD) inducing cells comprising a central memory T-lymphocyte (Tcm) phenotype, the cells being tolerance inducing cells and/or endowed with anti-disease activity, and capable of homing to the lymph nodes following transplantation is disclosed. The method comprising: (a) providing a population of at least 70 % memory T cells; (b) contacting the population of memory T cells with an antigen or antigens so as to allow enrichment of antigen reactive cells; and (c) culturing the cells resulting from step (b) in the presence of cytokines so as to allow proliferation of cells comprising the Tcm phenotype. Cells generated by the method, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of treating a malignant disease in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The method comprises subjecting cells of the subject to a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of ablating Perforin positive dendritic cells (Perf+ DCs) of the subject, thereby treating the malignant disease.
