Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods for stimulating T cells, and more particularly, to methods to eliminate undesired (e.g., autoreactive, alloreactive, pathogenic) subpopulations of T cells from a mixed population of T cells, thereby restoring the normal immune repertoire of said T cells. The present invention also relates to compositions of cells, including stimulated T cells having restored immune repertoire and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods for generating, expanding, and isolating antigen-specific T cells. Compositions of antigen-specific T cells activated and expanded by the methods herein are further provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dispensing compositions comprising sols, sol-forming compounds, or highly viscous compositions into porous substrates. In some embodiments, the porous substrates are elements of transdermal delivery devices. In some embodiments, the highly viscous compositions comprise alkylcellulose ethers, or derivatives thereof, in particular, hydroxypropyl cellulose. Such may be useful in continuous web-based manufacturing processes.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods for activating and expanding cells, and more particularly, to a novel method to activate and/or stimulate cells that maximizes the expansion of such cells to achieve dramatically high densities. In the various embodiments, cells are activated and expanded to very high densities in a short period of time. In certain embodiments, cells are activated and expanded to very high numbers of cells in a short period of time. Compositions of cells activated and expanded by the methods herein are further provided.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for transdermal delivery of one or more therapeutic active agents to a biological interface. An iontophoretic drug delivery system is provided for transdermal delivery of one or more therapeutic active agents to a biological interface of a subject. The iontophoretic drug delivery system includes at least one active agent reservoir.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods for stimulating cells, and more particularly, to a novel method to concentrate and stimulate cells that maximizes stimulation and/or proliferation of such cells. In the various embodiments, cells are stimulated and concentrated with a surface yielding enhanced proliferation, cell signal transduction, and/or cell surface moiety aggregation. In certain aspects methods for stimulating a population of cells such as T-cells, by simultaneous concentration and cell surface moiety ligation are provided by contacting the population of cells with a surface, that has attached thereto one or more agents that ligate a cell surface moiety and applying a force that predominantly drives cell concentration and cell surface moiety ligation, thereby inducing cell stimulation, cell surface moiety aggregation, and/or receptor signaling enhancement.
