  • Publication number: 20230053048
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for tracking and providing status updates for delivery of a product. An example method may include obtaining a request to process an order for transporting a product between a shipper and a receiver storage location. Shipper and receiver profiles may be identified by accessing a database comprising a plurality of tenant profiles, each profile including specifications associated with handling of the product. A set of instructions for processing the order may be determined from data associated with at least one of the shipper or receiver profiles, and communicated to a carrier device. Status updated may be generated based on data uploaded to the system via the carrier device, where the status updates may be associated with the shipper profile, the receiver profile, or both. A confirmation of the delivery may be generated based on the data obtained from the carrier device.

  • Publication number: 20220040298
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of VISTA agonists alone or in association with other immune inhibitors, preferably another inhibitor of humoral immunity such as an iNOS/NO promoter or nitric oxide or a PD-1 or PD-L1 agonist or a CD40 antagonist for the treatment or prevention of conditions wherein the suppression of humoral immunity is therapeutically beneficial. The present invention is further directed to the use of VISTA antagonists alone or in association with other immune agonists, preferably another enhancer of humoral immunity such as iNOS/NO inhibitor or a PD-1 or PD-L1 antagonist or anti-CTLA-4 antibody or a CD40 agonist for the treatment or prevention of conditions wherein the enhancement of humoral immunity is therapeutically beneficial. Also, the invention relates to the use of VISTA antagonists alone or in association with another immune agonist, e.g., an iNOS/NO inhibitor or a CD40 agonist to promote the efficacy of therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines, e.g.

  • Patent number: 11123426
    Abstract: Methods for alleviating the suppression of humoral immunity by myeloid-dependent suppressor cells (MDSCs) are provided which include the administration of a VISTA antagonist and an iNOS/NO inhibitor in a subject in need thereof, e.g., subjects with cancer or infectious disease wherein VISTA is aberrantly expressed. This combination has been discovered to elicit a synergistic or additive effect on alleviating suppression of humoral immunity by VISTA which is elicited by MDSCs.
