Abstract: Provided herein are embodiments relating to therapeutic applications of antibodies that modulate; e.g., inhibit the interaction of TIM-3 and LILRB2 antibodies. In some embodiments, the antibodies bind TIM-3. In some embodiments the antibodies bind LILRB2. Modulation of the interaction of TIM-3 and LILRB2 stimulates the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines; e.g., myeloid-associated pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract: The technology described herein relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) compositions targeting the genes encoding negative regulators of MHC expansion (e.g. AhR, Itch, Prox1 and/or SH2B3), and methods of using such dsRNA compositions to inhibit expression of negative regulators of MHC expansion. The use of such compositions to provide, for example, enhanced quantitites and/or qualities of MHCs and/or hematopoietic progenitor cells for transplantation and/or to enhance engraftment of transplanted MHCs hematopoietic progenitor cells is described.
