  • Publication number: 20210187262
    Abstract: Provided herein are devices and methods used to produce tattoo biosensors that are based on spatially controlled intracutaneous gene delivery of optical reporters driven by specific transcription factor pathways for a given cytokine or other analyte. The biosensors can be specific to a given analyte, or more generically represent the convergence of several cytokines into commonly shared intracellular transcription factor pathways. These biosensors can be delivered as an array in order to monitor multiple cytokines. Biosensor redeployment can enable chronic monitoring from months to years. The tattooed biosensor array of the present invention includes endogenous reporter cells, naturally tuned to each patient's own biology and can be used to reliably measure the state of a patient in real-time.

  • Publication number: 20060153821
    Abstract: Formulations comprising combinations of APCs and tumor cells and APCs and virally infected cells are disclosed. These formulations generally comprise hybridoma of at least one antigen presenting cell fused to either at least one tumor cell or at least one virally infected cell, or the products of co-cultures of antigen presenting cells and either tumor cells or virally infected cells. Methods for using these formulations in prophylactically and therapeutically treating patients are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050170503
    Abstract: Antigen-specific T-cells prepared by culturing T-cells in formulations comprising combinations of DCs and either tumor cells or virally infected cells are disclosed. These formulations generally comprise hybridoma of at least one dendritic cell fused to either at least one tumor cell or at least one virally infected cell, or co-cultures of dendritic cells and either tumor cells or virally infected cells. The resulting T-cells can then be used in immunotherapy methods through adoptive transfer of autologous antigen-specific T-cells into patients using well-established techniques, as agents to identify tumor antigens, and to establish animal models.
