Redox-Responsive Polycondensate Neoepitope for Enhanced Personalized Cancer Vaccine

Li Tang, Lixia Wei, Yu Zhao, Xiaomeng Hu

A versatile and highly effective platform remains a major challenge in the development of personalized cancer vaccines. Here, we devised a redox-responsive polycondensate neoepitope (PNE) through a reversible polycondensation reaction of peptide neoantigen ...

A releasable disulfide-linked peptide tag facilitates the synthesis and purification of short peptides

Christian Heinis, Alessandro Zorzi, Yu Teng Wu, Jack Peter Christopher Williams

Combinatorial cyclization of hundreds to thousands of random linear peptides by structurally diverse chemical linkers offers access to large macrocyclic compound libraries. A bottleneck in the development of such libraries is the preparation of large numbe ...

HLA Heterozygote Advantage against HIV-1 Is Driven by Quantitative and Qualitative Differences in HLA Allele-Specific Peptide Presentation

Jacques Fellay

Pathogen-mediated balancing selection is regarded as a key driver of host immunogenetic diversity. A hallmark for balancing selection in humans is the heterozygote advantage at genes of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA), resulting in improved HIV-1 control ...

The Contorsbody, an antibody format for agonism: design, structure, and function

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

The careful design of the antibody architecture is becoming more and more important, especially when the purpose is agonism. We present the design of a novel antibody format that is able to promote receptor dimerization and induce signal transduction resul ...

Regulatory T cells engineered with TCR signaling-responsive IL-2 nanogels suppress alloimmunity in sites of antigen encounter

Li Tang, Na Li

Adoptive cell transfer of ex vivo expanded regulatory T cells (T-r(egs)) has shown immense potential in animal models of auto- and alloimmunity. However, the effective translation of such T-reg therapies to the clinic has been slow. Because T-reg homeostas ...

Involvement of the M-CSF/IL-34/CSF-1R pathway in malignant pleural mesothelioma

Background Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer related to asbestos exposure. The tumor microenvironment content, particularly the presence of macrophages, was described as crucial for the development of the disease. This wo ...

Low-dose photodynamic therapy promotes a cytotoxic immunological response in a murine model of pleural mesothelioma

Paul Joseph Dyson, Etienne Meylan, Julien Robert Rémi Faget, Aspasia Gkasti, Yameng Hao, Maxime Reichenbach

OBJECTIVES: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a deadly disease with limited treatment options. Approaches to enhance patient immunity against MPM have been tested but shown variable results. Previously, we have demonstrated interesting vascular modul ...

A computationally designed chimeric antigen receptor provides a small-molecule safety switch for T-cell therapy

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, George Coukos, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Sabrina Susan Vollers, Sailan Shui

The activity of CAR-T cells is reversibly halted with a small-molecule drug. Approaches to increase the activity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells against solid tumors may also increase the risk of toxicity and other side effects. To improve the s ...

Atomic-Scale Description of Interfaces between Antigen and Aluminum-Based Adjuvants Used in Vaccines by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) Enhanced NMR Spectroscopy

Jasmine Viger-Gravel, Federico Maria Paruzzo, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

The addition of aluminum-based adjuvants in vaccines enhances the immune response to antigens. The strength of antigen adsorption on adjuvant gels is known to modulate vaccine efficacy. However, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of interaction bet ...

Myeloid Cells Orchestrate Systemic Immunosuppression, Impairing the Efficacy of Immunotherapy against HPV+ Cancers

Douglas Hanahan, Nadine Fournier, Mélanie Louise Tichet, Melody Swartz, Stephan Wullschleger, Gabriele Galliverti

Cancers induced by human papillomaviruses (HPV) should be responsive to immunotherapy by virtue of expressing the immunogenic oncoproteins E6/E7. However, advanced forms of cervical cancer, driven by HPV, are poorly responsive to immune response-enhancing ...
