Abstract Background Several properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have the potential to affect their bioactivity. This study examined in vitro and vivo outcomes influence diameter, length, purification carboxylation ( testing only) MWCNT. Methods Three original ‘as received’ MWCNT that varied size (diameter length) were purified functionalized by carboxylation. The resulting characterized for cytotoxicity inflammasome activation using THP-1 cells primary alveolar macrophages...
Abstract Activating interferon responses with STING agonists (STINGa) is a current cancer immunotherapy strategy, and therapeutic modalities that enable tumor-targeted delivery via systemic administration could be beneficial. Here we demonstrate tumor cell-directed agonist antibody-drug-conjugates (STINGa ADCs) activate in cells myeloid induce anti-tumor innate immune vitro, vivo (in female mice), ex models. We show the STINGa ADCs are internalized into by Fcγ-receptor-I antigen-dependent...
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) achieve targeted drug delivery to a tumor and have demonstrated clinical success in many types. The activity safety profile of an ADC depends on its construction: antibody, payload, linker, conjugation method, as well the number payload drugs per antibody [drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR)]. To allow for optimization given target antigen, we developed Dolasynthen (DS), novel platform based auristatin hydroxypropylamide, that enables precise DAR-ranging site-specific...
The authors describe a 62-year-old woman with symptoms of major depression presumed to be secondary propranolol use. patient responded poorly imipramine; however, her cleared rapidly when atenolol was substituted for propranolol.
Abstract Purpose: Targeted tumor delivery may be required to potentiate the clinical benefit of innate immune modulators. The objective study was apply an antibody-drug conjugate approach STING agonism and develop a candidate. Methods: XMT-2056, HER2-directed STING-agonist (ADC), designed, built, tested in pharmacology toxicology studies. ADC compared benchmark intravenously administered agonist. Results: XMT-2056 achieved tumor-targeted agonist upon systemic administration mice induced...

Abstract STING pathway agonism has emerged as a potential therapeutic mechanism to stimulate an innate anti-tumor immune response. While in principle systemic administration of agonist would have many benefits, including the delivery all tumor lesions, such approach may be limited by toxicity. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) constitute proven modality that is ideally suited enable without associated toxicity concerns via targeted strategy. Herein, we demonstrate systemically administered...
Abstract STING pathway agonism has emerged as a potential therapeutic mechanism to stimulate an innate anti-tumor immune response. However, the systemic administration of free agonist may be limited by toxicity, and broad biodistribution not ideal. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) constitute proven modality that enables tumor-targeted delivery thus is ideally suited with reduced toxicity. To develop optimized STING-agonist ADC platform, we designed novel specifically tailored for use in ADC....
Abstract Natural Tregs are highly effective at inhibiting Th2 differentiation but restrictive in their ability to suppress airway inflammatory processes. nTregs prevent autoimmunity and modulate immune responses foreign antigens. CD4+Foxp3+ from DO11.10 mice were expanded ex vivo, effectiveness suppressing the development of lung responses, elicited by differentiated CD4+ T cells following antigen inhalation, was examined. Effector cells, when adoptively transferred into BALB/c that...

We show that allergic airway inflammation was associated with an increase in innate IL-17-producing (γδ-17) expressed the αEβ7 integrin were closely epithelium. Importantly, PGI(2) its receptor IP, which downregulated eosinophilic inflammation, promoted emergence these intraepithelial γδ-17 into...
