Abstract One major hurdle to the success of adoptive T-cell therapy is identification antigens that permit effective targeting tumors in absence toxicities essential organs. Previous work has demonstrated T cells engineered express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-T cells) murine homolog colorectal cancer GUCY2C treat established metastases, without toxicity normal GUCY2C-expressing intestinal epithelium, reflecting structural compartmentalization endogenous apical membranes comprising lumen....

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) emerged in 2012 and is a highly pathogenic virus. There are no treatment options against MERS-CoV for humans or animals, there large-scale clinical trials therapies MERS-CoV. To address this need, we developed an inactivated rabies virus (RABV) that contains the spike (S) protein expressed on its surface. Our initial recombinant vaccine, BNSP333-S, expresses full-length wild-type S protein; however, it showed significantly reduced viral...

Adoptive T-cell therapy (ACT) is an emerging paradigm in which T cells are genetically modified to target cancer-associated antigens and eradicate tumors. However, challenges treating epithelial cancers with ACT reflect antigen targets that not tumor-specific, permitting immune damage normal tissues, preclinical testing artificial xenogeneic models, preventing prediction of toxicities patients. In context, mucosa-restricted expressed by exploit anatomical compartmentalization shields mucosae...

<h3>Background</h3> The colorectal cancer antigen GUCY2C exhibits unique split tolerance, evoking antigen-specific CD8<sup>+</sup>, but not CD4<sup>+</sup>, T-cell responses that deliver anti-tumor immunity without autoimmunity in mice. Here, the vaccine Ad5-GUCY2C-PADRE was evaluated a first-in-man phase I clinical study of patients with early-stage to assess its safety and immunological efficacy. <h3>Methods</h3> Ten surgically-resected stage or II (pN0) colon received single intramuscular...

Characterizing self-tolerance mechanisms and their failure is critical to understand immune homeostasis, cancer immunity, autoimmunity. However, examination of has relied primarily on transgenic mice expressing TCRs targeting well-characterized, but nonphysiologic, model Ags, such as OVA hemagglutinin. Identifying directed against bona fide self-antigens made difficult by the extraordinary diversity low prevalence Ag-specific clones (<10-100 naive cells per organism), limiting dissection...

Cancer immunotherapeutics focus primarily on stimulating the immune system to elicit endogenous responses fight cancer or transferring primed effectors in adoptive cell transfer (ACT) paradigms (1,2). CD8 + T cells are desirable cancer, however, their antitumor activity is often attenuated by tolerance mechanisms suppressive nature of tumor microenvironment (3). As such, goal immunotherapies increasingly focusing overcoming barrier enhancing antigen reactivity and effector function...
