Abstract: The present disclosure describes an IHC assay for detecting and quantifying spatially proximal pairs of PD-1-expressing cells (PD-1+ cells) and PD-Ligand-expressing cells (PD-L+ cells) in tumor tissue, and the use of the assay to generate proximity biomarkers that are predictive of which cancer patients are most likely to benefit from treatment with a PD-1 antagonist. The disclosure also provides methods for testing tumor samples for the proximity biomarkers, as well as methods for treating subjects with a PD-1 antagonist based on the test results.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of vaccinating a patient against varicella zoster virus (VZV) by delivery of an effective amount of a live attenuated VZV vaccine to the epidermis or the dermis of a patient's skin at a depth of between about 100 and about 700 microns from the surface of the skin, which is useful for preventing herpes zoster or reducing the severity or duration thereof. In embodiments of the invention, the patient is 50 years of age or older and has been previously exposed to VZV. The invention also relates to a method of preventing VZV infection in an individual who was not previously infected with VZV comprising administering an effective amount of a live attenuated VZV vaccine to the epidermis or the dermis of the individual's skin at a depth of between about 100 and about 700 microns from the surface of the skin.

Abstract: Container system and method for freezing (and subsequently thawing) a liquid such as a drug substance, such that all containers in a set have a uniform width, hence uniform freeze-path length, in the widthwise direction and perpendicular to major walls of the containers, irrespective of the particular length, height, and volumetric capacity of the various containers in the set. This leads to uniform freezing performance and thereby reduces cryoconcentration. The system also eliminates or reduces ice-bridging, and the potential for containers rupturing during freezing and thawing operations.
