  • Publication number: 20220273718
    Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for treating disease and/or disorders associated with inflammatory conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, graft-vs-host diseases, and/or organ graft rejection (collectively AGO), In some embodiments, the methods include isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a patient suffering from AGO, arming a population of TREGS with a bispecific antibody directed at TREG cells and at target antigens on pancreatic islet cells or other AGO inflamed target tissues under conditions, wherein generation of TREGS, bispecific antibody is used to arm ATREGS and target cells expressing autoimmune antigens, ATREG cells binding to target cells expressing autoimmune antigens, suppression of inflammatory activity by immune cells in the tissue microenvironment by ATREGS, and infusing a composition comprising the ATREGS armed with a bispecific antibody into the subject to thereby treat the AGO in the patient.
