Methods of treating cancer and improving immunotherapy comprising administering the agents are also provided.

Abstract: Multimeric protein structures comprising at least two alpha-galactosidase monomers being covalently linked to one another via a linking moiety are disclosed herein, as well a process for preparing same, and methods of treating Fabry disease via administration of a multimeric protein structure. The disclosed multimeric protein structures exhibit an improved performance, in terms of enhanced activity and/or a longer lasting activity under both lysosomal conditions and in a serum environment.

Abstract: Methods of decreasing shedding of CD28, decreasing soluble CD28 levels, treating cancer and improving immunotherapies comprising inhibiting matrix metalloproteases are provided. Methods of producing agents for performance of the methods of the invention are also provided.

Abstract: Methods of diagnosing and predicting cancer relapse comprising measuring soluble CD28 levels in a subject, wherein an increase in soluble CD28 is indicative of cancer relapse or imminent cancer relapse, are provided. Methods of determining response to PD-1/PD-L1 based immunotherapy in a subject in need thereof, comprising measuring sCD28 levels in a subject undergoing PD-1/PD-L1 based immunotherapy at at least two time points wherein a decrease indicates response and an increase indicates lack of response, are also provided.

Abstract: Agents that are less than 100 kilodaltons, bind a membranal immune receptor on a surface of a cell and inhibit proteolytic cleavage of the immune receptor are provided. Methods of treating cancer and improving immunotherapy comprising administering the agents are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, is directed to a method for suppressing an immune response in a subject, including administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent having specific binding affinity to a soluble immune receptor.
