Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for mediating immunosuppressive myelopoiesis. Additionally, disclosed herein are combination therapies for treating cancers and methods of using the same.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for predicting a patient's response to immune based or target therapy are described herein. An example computer-implemented method includes generating a model configured to represent dynamics and interactions among normal T cells, engineered cells, and tumor cells, where the model includes a plurality of cell population compartments. The computer-implemented method also includes receiving pre-treatment patient data for a cancer patient, and receiving post-treatment patient data for the cancer patient. Each of the pre-treatment patient data and the post-treatment patient data includes a measure of at least one of tumor volume, total lymphocytes, memory T cells, memory engineered cells, tumor killing cells, or antigen-presenting tumor cells.

Abstract: The invention concerns a variant (double mutant form) of the survivin polypeptide; nucleic acid molecules encoding the survivin variant; antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells, or APC precursors, comprising the variant survivin polypeptide or encoding nucleic acid sequence; and methods for treating a malignancy, such as myeloma, or for inducing an immune response, utilizing a variant survivin polypeptide, nucleic acid molecule, or APC.
