Publication number: 20210030856Abstract: The present invention pertains to a novel cell based tumor vaccine platform. The invention provides a method for modifying antigen presenting cells (APCs) to present both MHC class I and/or MHC class II peptides in context of improved peptide presentation protein complexes in order to increase activation of a patient's immune response. In this invention, an MHC II mRNA dendritic cell based vaccine platform was developed to activate CD4+T cells in patients and to enhance the anti-tumor response. The invariant chain (Ii) was modified and the semi-peptide CLIP was replaced with an MHCII binding peptide sequences of tumor associated antigens. These chimeric MHC II constructs are presented by APCs and induce proliferation of tumor specific CD4+T cells. The invention provides the constructs, proteins, nucleic acids, recombinant cells, as well as medical applications of these products.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2019Publication date: February 4, 2021Applicants: Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum Stiftung des Öffentlichen Rechts, Yeda Research and Development Co., Ltd.Inventors: Rachel Lea Eisenbach, Esther Tzehoval, Gal Cafri, Adi Sharbi Yunger, Mareike Grees
