  • Publication number: 20250327027
    Abstract: The present application provides TILs comprising agents that enhance activity and/or proliferative capacity of the TILs, methods of manufacturing such TILs, and methods of using such modified TILs for enhancing an immune response.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 28, 2022
    Publication date: October 23, 2025
    Inventors: Jonathan B. GILBERT, Devin BRIDGEN, Michael Finnan MALONEY, Emrah Ilker OZAY, Scott Mcnabb LOUGHHEAD, Rebecca Jean SILVER, Ashley BRATE, Murillo SILVA, Nader Ahmad EL-SAYES
  • Publication number: 20250257322
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for producing modified HSCs, wherein the method comprises passing a cell suspension comprising the cell and a payload through a constriction, wherein the constriction deforms the cell, thereby causing a perturbation of the cell such that the payload enters the cell. In some aspects, the payloads are capable of enhancing one or more properties of the HSCs, such that the HSCs are better engrafted within the bone marrow of a subject.

  • Patent number: 12246097
    Abstract: Non-liposome, non-micelle particles formed of a lipid, an additional adjuvant such as a TLR4 agonist, a sterol, and a saponin are provided. The particles are porous, cage-like nanoparticles, also referred to as nanocages, and are typically between about 30 nm and about 60 nm. In some embodiments, the nanocages include or are administered in combination with an antigen. The particles can increase immune responses and are particularly useful as adjuvants in vaccine applications and related methods of treatment. Preferred lipids, additional adjuvants including TLR4 agonists, sterols, and saponins, methods of making the nanocages, and method of using them are also provided.
    Type: Grant
