摘要:
The inventors provide a new therapeutic strategy to treat cancers expressing embryonic antigens. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method of treating a subject suffering from a cancer comprising a step of administration simultaneously, separately or sequentially to said subject a therapeutically amount of i) a population of derived engineered fetal stem cells carrying cancer associated fetal neo-antigen and ii) a compound selected from a group which activates immune response, as a combined preparation.

The technology of the present disclosure relates to the use of Heat-inactivated modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus (Heat-iMVA) or Heat-inactivated vaccinia virus as a vaccine immune adjuvant. In particular, the present technology relates to the use of Heat-iMVA as a vaccine adjuvant for tumor antigens in cancer vaccines alone or in combination with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) antibodies for use as a cancer immunotherapeutic.
摘要:
Described herein is a reliable method for preparing a potent vaccine useful for immunotherapy comprising the step of cryopreserving a population of cells undergoing immunogenic cell death, and using such cells to activate dendritic cells for use in immunotherapy. In a specific embodiment, the method comprises cryopreserving cancer cells undergoing cell death, which can be used to prepare a pharmaceutical composition for immunotherapy against cancer.
摘要:
A lymphoma cell line was engineered to express surface IgGl Fc. These tumor cells were taken up rapidly by DCs, leading to enhanced cross-presentation of tumor-derived antigen to CD8 T cells. IgGl-Fc tumors failed to grow in vivo and prophylactic vaccination in an animal model resulted in rejection of unmanipulated tumor cells. Furthermore, IgGl-Fc tumor cells were able to slow the growth of an unmanipulated primary tumor when used as a therapeutic tumor vaccine. This demonstrates that engagement of Fc receptors by tumors expressing the Fc region of IgGl can induce efficient and protective anti-tumor CD8+ T cell responses without prior knowledge of tumor-specific antigen.

The invention relates to methods and compositions for causing the selective targeting and killing of tumor cells. Through a combination of ex vivo gene therapy protocols and cell enrichment, tumor cells are engineered to express an α (1,3) galactosyl epitope and optionally the tumor associated antigens mesothelin and carcinoembryonic antigen. After administration of the compositions of the invention to patients, the production of increased antibody titers to certain cell-surface markers, including mesothelin, calreticulin, and carcinembryonic antigen (CEA) positively correlates with an increased overall survival.

Methods of treating cancer including administering to a subject with cancer a pharmaceutical composition including an effective amount of a chimeric VSV virus are disclosed. The chimeric viruses are based on a VSV background where the VSV G protein is replaced with one or more heterologous viral glycoproteins. In the most preferred embodiment, the VSV G protein is replaced with the glycoprotein from Lassa virus or a functional fragment thereof. The resulting chimeric virus is an oncolytic virus that is attenuated and safe in the brain, yet still retains sufficient oncolytic activity to infect and destroy cancer cells such glioblastoma, and to generate an immune response against infected cancer cells. Methods of using chimeric viruses as a platform for immunization against other pathogenic microbes are also provided.

摘要:
The invention provides combinations of derivatives of decitabine and other active agents, including T-cell activating agents, cancer vaccines, and adjuvants. Some derivatives of decitabine exhibit superior chemical stability and shelf life, with similar physiological activity. Methods of treating one or more myelodysplasia syndromes, cancers, haematological disorders, or diseases associated with abnormal haemoglobin synthesis using the combinations are described.
摘要:
The present invention provides a therapeutic agent comprising an antibody-recognition epitope (ARE) covalently bound to a tumor cell, wherein the ARE is bound to an antibody that is specific for the ARE, to form a tumor cell:ARE:antibody complex, and kits and methods of using these tumor cell:ARE:antibody complexes.
