Abstract: The present invention includes, among other things, ?-1,6-glucan linked to an antibody directed to a cell present in a tumor microenvironment. T regulatory cells can be one type of cell present in the tumor microenvironment. In particular embodiments, the antibody is directed to a surface feature of a T regulatory cell, MDSC, or other immune cell. In certain embodiments, the antibody is directed to T regulatory cells, MDSCs, or other immune cells present in a tumor microenvironment. Compositions including ?-1,6-glucan linked to an antibody directed to a T regulatory cell, MDSC, or other immune cell may be useful, e.g., in the treatment of a tumor or cancer in a subject in need thereof. Accordingly, the present invention provides, among other things, methods and compositions for treatment of a tumor or cancer.

Abstract: This invention is directed to ?-1-6-glucans, compositions and devices comprising the same, and methods of use thereof in modulating immune responses. The ?-1-6-glucans of certain embodiments of the invention are enriched for O-acetylated groups and/or conjugated to a solid support or linked to a targeting moiety.

Abstract: The invention is directed to ?1-6 glucans, compositions, diagnostic kits, and devices comprising the same, and methods of use thereof in modulating immune response and treating, delaying progression of, reducing the incidence or severity of cancer, infection, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. The ?1-6 glucans of certain embodiments of the invention are enriched for O-acetylated groups and/or conjugated to a solid support or linked to a targeting moiety. The ?1-6 glucans of certain embodiments of the invention recruit immunoglobulin G antibodies to mediate complement and neutrophil killing. The conjugated ?1-6 glucans of certain embodiments of the invention are targeted to cells to stimulate the immune response at the target location by activating complement-mediated lysis and recruitment of neutrophils.
