  • Publication number: 20200140556
    Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for treating an individual with cancer or infectious disease. Multivalent Dectin-2 stimulating agents are provided that include: (a) an agent that binds to Dectin-2 and stimulates Dectin-2 signaling; and (b) an antibody and/or an immunomodulatory agent, wherein (a) and (b) are conjugated to one another. In some cases, (a) is a mannobiose glycopolypeptide that binds to Dectin-2. In some cases (b) is a stimulatory ligand for a TLR (e.g., TLR7, TLR8, TLR7/8, TLR2, and the like). Methods of treating an individual with cancer and/or an infectious disease can include administering to the individual an effective amount of a Dectin-2 stimulating composition. In some cases, the Dectin-2 stimulating composition comprises a Dectin-2 stimulating glycopolymer. In some cases the Dectin-2 stimulating composition comprises a multivalent Dectin-2 stimulating agent.

  • Publication number: 20190010236
    Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for treating an individual with cancer by administering to the individual a composition that includes a Dectin-2 stimulating agent that stimulates Dectin-2 signaling in myeloid cells (e.g., induces Dectin-2 clustering on the cell surface), thereby stimulating an anti-cancer immune response in the individual. In some cases, the myeloid cells are tumor-associated myeloid (TAM) cells. Methods and compositions are also provided for: treating an individual with cancer via contacting a cancer cell from the individual with an alpha-mannosidase class 1 inhibitor (e.g.
