Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating cancer in humans are provided using CARs. The invention includes engineered CARs (chimeric receptor antigens) and genetically modified immune cells that express such a CAR with a high affinity for VEGFR. More specifically, the cells are CAR-T cells recognizing VEGFR-2 on solid tumors, uses thereof, compositions thereof and methods of making. The invention includes therapeutic methods to treat VEGFR-2 dependent cancers targeting tumor angiogenesis. A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds to VEGFR-2, an epitope or fragment thereof, or a variant thereof.

Abstract: Methods and compositions to restore function to acidified T cells are provided. The methods comprise administering urease to the T cells. Compositions comprise urease.

Abstract: This disclosure provides antibody-urease conjugates having therapeutic and diagnostic utility. More specifically, the disclosure relates to diagnostic and/or therapeutic conjugates that are prepared by conjugating one or more whole antibodies to urease.

Abstract: Human prion protein, PrP, selectively presents the epitope MDEYSNQNN (SEQ ID No. 14) when PrP misfolds. The misfolded form of human PrP is associated with various disease states. The present invention provides an antibody useful to detect and treat such diseases, including cancer such as ovarian cancer and lymphomas, and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies such as CJD. Also provided is an immunoconjugate in which the antibody is conjugated with urease as cytotoxin.

Abstract: A biphasic lipid vesicle composition for treating cervical displasia by intravaginal delivery. The composition includes a suspension of lipid-bilayer vesicles having entrapped therein, an oil-in-water emulsion, human interferon alpha-2b and L-methionine, the composition having an interferon alpha-2b specific activity of between about 1-10 MIU (million international units) per gram composition, and between 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent L-methionine. In the treatment method, the composition is administered at a dose of between about 1-20 MIU interferon alpha-2b, and this dose is administered at least 3 days/week, for a period of at least 4 weeks.
