Abstract: Compositions and methods for NK cell based treatments, and particularly NK cells that express and intracellularly retain IL-2, are presented in which the NK cells are stimulated with a chimeric protein that has a cancer cell targeting portion and an IL-12 portion. Beneficially, such chimeric protein has substantially reduced systemic toxicity and induces IFN-? secretion in a targeted manner. Moreover, chimeric proteins contemplated herein also significantly enhanced IFN-? secretion in NK cells that express and intracellularly retain IL-2 as compared to native NK cells. Preferred chimeric proteins comprise SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2, and SEQ ID NO:3.

Abstract: Antibodies, fragments thereof, and chimeric proteins comprising same are presented that have specific binding activity against CD30. Advantageously, contemplated molecules can be used in pharmaceutical compositions for immune therapy, particularly in individuals diagnosed with hematopoietic malignancies, including Hodgkin lymphoma, CD30-positive B cell lymphomas, CD30-positive T cell lymphomas, CD30-positive NK cell lymphomas.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for multi-specific protein complexes comprising an interleukin-15 (IL-15) domain comprising an N72D mutation (IL-15N72D), a IL-15 receptor alpha sushi-binding domain (IL-15R?Su), an immunoglobulin Fc domain, and a mutated transforming growth factor-beta receptor type 2 (TGF?RII) domain, wherein the mutated TGF?RII domain has a N->Q mutation in positions 47, 71, and 131 respectively. The IL-15R?Su domain, the Fc domain, and the mutated TGF?RII domain are sequentially linked by amide bonds. Preferably, contemplated complexes further include a binding domain that specifically binds to a disease antigen, immune checkpoint molecule, or immune signaling molecule.
