Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods for treating, preventing, and/or ameliorating chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or renal injury in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the methods disclosed herein comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one Nlrp3 siRNA non-covalently conjugated to sidewall ammonium-functionalized carbon nanotubes (fCNTs), wherein the at least one Nlrp3 siRNA reduces the expression of NLR pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) in a subject diagnosed with, or at risk for CKD and/or renal injury.

Abstract: This invention provides methods of treating, reducing the incidence of, and inducing immune responses to a WT1-expressing cancer, by administering a combination of WT1 peptides including each of: YMFPNAPYL, RSDELVRHHNMHQRNMTKL, PGCNKRYFKLSHLQMHSRKHTG, SGQAYMFPNAPYLPSCLES, NLMNLGATL, WNLMNLGATLKGVAA, and WNYMNLGATLKGVAA, or cytotoxic T cells induced by the combination of WT1 peptides. The combination of WT1 peptides may be administered to the subject via a WT1 delivery agent, i.e., in peptide form, or in the form of nucleic acids encoding the WT1 peptides, or in the form of immune cells comprising nucleic acids encoding the WT1 peptides, and/or comprising or presenting the WT1 peptides. The WT1 delivery agents or CTLs can be administered to the subject in a single composition (as a heptavalent immunotherapy composition), or multiple compositions, resulting in delivery of all seven WT1 peptides and induction of an immune response against the WT1-expressing cancer.

Abstract: Antigen binding proteins specific for an HLA-A2 restricted Ras peptide are disclosed. The antigen binding proteins encompass antibodies in a variety of forms, including full-length antibodies, substantially intact antibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab?)2 fragments, and single chain Fv fragments. Fusion proteins, such as scFv fusions with immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor domains, and bispecific antibodies incorporating the specificity of the antigen binding region for each peptide are also contemplated by the disclosure. Furthermore, immunoconjugates may include antibodies to which is linked a radioisotope, fluorescent or other detectable marker, cytotoxin, or other molecule are also encompassed by the disclosure. Among other things, immunoconjugates can be used for delivery of an agent to elicit a therapeutic effect or to facilitate an immune effector function.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for adoptive cell therapy comprising engineered immune cells that express a tumor antigen-targeted chimeric antigen receptor and a SIRP? polypeptide.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of modulating immune response, including methods of treating a cancer or an infection using a combination of kinase modulators and immunotherapy that promotes immune response. Also provided herein are methods of treating an autoimmune disease or graft-versus-host disease, and methods of reducing the risk of solid organ transplant rejection using a combination of kinase modulators and immunosuppressive therapy.

Abstract: Functionalized single walled or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) can be delivered into mammals to targeted organs, such as the kidney and the liver. These f-CNTs may be non-covalently linked or covalently linked to therapeutic agents. In particular, the application delivers carbon nanotube-therapeutic agent conjugates to a target organ, thereby preventing or reducing damages to the organ caused by other agents or procedure.

Abstract: Provided herein are single wall nanotube constructs to which are convalently linked a plurality of a bifunctional chelator, a therapeutic or a diagnostic radionuclide chelated to each bifunctional chelator and a plurality of morpholino oligonucleotides conjugated to the single wall nanotube. Also provided are single wall nanotube complexes which have the morpholino oligonucleotides on the single wall nanotube constructs hybridized to other morpholino oligonucleotides. The other morpholino oligonucleotides are each conjugated to a therapeutic antibody.

Abstract: This invention provides methods of treating, reducing the incidence of, and inducing immune responses to a WT1-expressing cancer, by administering a combination of at least one WT1 peptide, or cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) against a WT1-expressing cancer, and at least one checkpoint inhibitor. The at least one WT1 peptide can be administered to the subject by administering one or more agents to the subject resulting in delivery of one or more WT1 peptides and induction of an immune response against the WT1-expressing cancer. Examples of these WT1 delivery agents include: (i) an isolated WT1 peptide, (ii) a nucleic acid encoding the at least one WT1 peptide, and (iii) an immune cell comprising or presenting the at least one WT1 peptide or nucleic acid encoding the at least one WT1 peptide.

Abstract: The present invention provides antigen binding proteins that specifically bind to Wilms' tumor protein (WT1), including humanized, chimeric and fully human antibodies against WT1, antibody fragments, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), fusion proteins, and conjugates thereof. The antigen binding proteins and antibodies bind to HLA-A0201-restricted WT1 peptide. Such antibodies, fragments, fusion proteins and conjugates thereof are useful for the treatment of WT1 associated cancers, including for example, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, chronic myelocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid/myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). In more particular embodiments, the anti-WT1/A antibodies may comprise one or more framework region amino acid substitutions designed to improve protein stability, antibody binding and/or expression levels.

Abstract: Provided herein is the two component self-assembly single wall nanotube system and the single wall nanotube construct that is the second component. The two component self-assembly single wall nanotube system has a morpholino oligonucleotide with a targeting moiety followed by a single wall nanotube construct with second morpholino oligonucleotides complementary to the first morpholino oligonucleotides and one or both of a therapeutic or diagnostic payload molecule linked to the single wall nanotube construct.
