Compositions and methods to increase the in vivo capacity of CD8+ T cells to kill HIV-infected and reactivated latent HIV-infected T cells (LHITC) to functionally cure HIV infection or improve the clinical course. Compositions and methods to increase the in vivo capacity of CD8+ T cells to kill CMV or CMV -infected cells are also provided.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods of preparing tumor infiltrating cells engineered to express a pro-inflammatory polypeptide. The pro-inflammatory polypeptide is expressed from the tumor infiltrating cell to counter a generally immunosuppressive state in and around tumors resulting from an imbalance between the number and activation state of immune effector cells versus those of suppressor cells. Delivering the proinflammatory polypeptide via expression from the TICs, as distinct from systemic administration, reduces side effects from increased inflammation at sides remote from a tumor to be treated.
摘要:
The present invention relates to T cell receptors (TCRs) with specificity for a myeloperoxidase peptide. The present invention further relates to soluble TCR constructs, chimeric TCRs, bi-specific antibodies, nucleic acids, expression constructs and cells comprising said TCRs or TCR constructs. Moreover, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such TCRs, soluble TCR constructs, chimeric TCRs, bi-specific antibodies, nucleic acids, expression constructs and/or cells. The present invention further relates to the use of such TCRs, soluble TCR constructs, chimeric TCRs, bi-specific antibodies, nucleic acids or expression constructs for generating genetically modified lymphocytes and to their use as medicaments, preferably in the detection, diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and/or treatment of a hematological neoplasia involving the expression of myeloperoxidase, preferably a leukemia involving the expression of myeloperoxidase. The present invention further relates to methods of detecting, diagnosing, prognosing, preventing and/or treating a hematological neoplasia involving the expression of myeloperoxidase, preferably a leukemia involving the expression of myeloperoxidase.
摘要:
The present application relates to conjugates comprising interleukin 2 (IL2), and a tumour necrosis factor, such as tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), and an antibody molecule. The antibody molecule preferably binds to an antigen associated with neoplastic growth and/or angiogenesis, such as the Extra-Domain A (EDA) of fibronectin. The conjugate may be used in the treatment of cancer.
摘要:
Provided herein are IL-2 muteins, IL-2 mutein Fc-fusion molecules, anti-IL-2 antibodies, and complexes comprising an anti IL-2 antibody bound to an IL-2 cytokine that preferentially expand and activate T regulatory cells and are amenable to large scale production. Also provided herein are variant human IgG1 Fc molecules lacking or with highly reduced effector function and high stability despite lacking glycosylation at N297. Also provided herein are linker peptides that are glycosylated when expressed in mammalian cells. Also provided herein are methods of making and using the compositions of the present invention.
摘要:
The invention described herein is a novel IL-2 protein with selective agonist activity for Regulatory T cells and with an additional amino acid substitution that enable chemical conjugation with Polyethyene Glycol (PEG) that increase circulating half-life compared to the IL-2 selective agonist alone. A preferred IL-2 selective agonist variant is IL2/N88R/C125S/D109C.

摘要:
A conjugate comprising interleukin-4 (IL4) and a specific binding member is disclosed. The specific binding member preferably binds an extra-cellular matrix component associated with neoplastic growth and/or angiogenesis, and the conjugate may be used for targeting IL4 to tissues in vivo. In particular, the therapeutic use of such conjugates in the treatment of a disease/disorder, such as cancer and/or autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), endometriosis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and periodontitis is envisaged. Other diseases which may be treated or prevented using the conjugates include autoimmune insulitis and diabetes, in particular autoimmune diabetes. In the treatment of cancer, the conjugate may be administered in combination with a conjugate comprising either interleukin-12 (IL12) or interleukin-2 (IL2) and a specific binding member. In the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the conjugate may be administered in combination with a glucocorticoid, such as dexamethasone.
