Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with antibodies has shown durable clinical responses in a wide range of cancer types, but the overall response rate is still limited. Other effective therapeutic modalities to increase the ICB response rates are urgently ne ...
Eosinophils are granulocytes and belong to the innate arm of immunity. Eosinophils can be in different basal or activation states and depending on which type of activation is applied, they exert different effector functions. These multi-functional cells ha ...
The present invention relates generally to the field of anti-cancer therapy and autoimmune therapy, in particular to the use of adoptive T cell transfer therapy. More specifically, the present invention relates to compositions, pharmaceutical compositions ...
The understanding of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions via receptor and ligand binding relies on our ability to study the very first events of their contact. Of particular interest is the interaction between a T cell receptor and its cognate peptide-m ...
Template-directed methods are emerging as some of the most effective means to conjugate payloads at selective sites of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). We have previously reported a method based on an engineered Fc-III reactive peptide to conjugate a radionuc ...
In the past decades, breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy have led to unprecedented clinical responses in patients with advanced-stage cancers that would otherwise be fatal. However, treatment of many solid organ malignancies with highly immunosuppressive ...
In addition to direct and cross-presentation, dendritic cells (DCs) can present tumor antigens (TAs) to T cells via a hitherto poorly understood mechanism called "cross-dressing." DC cross-dressing involves the acquisition of preformed peptide-major histoc ...
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. Immunotherapy represents one of the most promising cancer treatments inducing complete and durable responses in a fraction of cancer patients. Despite the unprecedented clinical success achieved by T c ...
Background The use of intralesional Mycobacterium bovis BCG (intralesional live BCG) for the treatment of metastatic melanoma resulted in regression of directly injected, and occasionally of distal lesions. However, intralesional-BCG is less effective in p ...
Protein Engineering, especially protein post-translational modification (PTM), ex-tends proteomes in a more complex way than one can expect from analysis of their encod-ing genomes. It can activate or deactivate certain catalytic functions, add new desired ...
