Abstract: A method for adjusting a seat in a vehicle includes adjusting the seat from an initial position to a passenger adjusted position based on receiving an input from a passenger. The method further includes determining the passenger exited the vehicle after adjusting the seat and predicting a likelihood of the passenger returning to the vehicle based on determining the passenger exited the vehicle. The method also includes adjusting the seat to the initial position based on the likelihood of the passenger returning is less than a passenger returning threshold. The method still further includes identifying a person approaching the vehicle after the passenger exited the vehicle based on information captured by one or more sensors of the vehicle. The method also includes adjusting the seat to a position associated with the previous passenger based on identifying the person approaching the vehicle as the previous passenger.

Abstract: Tumor-specific T cell receptor (TCR) gene transfer enables specific and potent immune targeting of tumor antigens. The canonical cancer-testis antigen, NY-ESO-1, is not expressed in normal tissues but is aberrantly expressed across a broad array of cancer types. It has also been targeted with A2-restricted TCR gene therapy without adverse events or notable side effects. To enable the targeting of NY-ESO-1 in a broader array of HLA haplotypes, we isolated TCRs specific for NY-ESO-1 epitopes presented by four MHC molecules: HLA-A2, -B07, -B18, and -C03. Using these TCRs, we have developed an approach to extend TCR gene therapies targeting NY-ESO-1 to patient populations beyond those expressing HLA-A2.
