  • Publication number: 20220257785
    Abstract: Provided are conjugates comprising a knottin peptide comprising an engineered loop that binds to a cell surface molecule, and an immunostimulant conjugated to the knottin peptide via a linker. According to some embodiments, the immunostimulant activates a pathogen recognition receptor (PRR). For example, the immunostimulant may be a Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) agonist, e.g., an agonist of TLR 7, TLR 8 and/or TLR 9. Also provided are compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) that comprise the conjugates of the present disclosure, as well as kits comprising such compositions and methods of using such compositions, e.g., to treat an individual having cancer. Methods of making the conjugates of the present disclosure are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20200017915
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for determining whether a subject suffering from a neoplastic condition is responsive to an antineoplastic therapy, such as antibody therapy, e.g., Rituximab. In practicing the subject methods, the subject is genotyped to determine whether the subject has a least one favorable Fc?R polymorphism, e.g., the 131 H/H genotype or the 158 V/V genotype. In addition, reagents, devices and kits thereof, that find use in practicing the subject methods are provided.

  • Patent number: 9605320
    Abstract: Predictive biomarkers identify those patients suffering from immunoglobulin positive (Ig+) B lineage malignancies that are responsive to active immunotherapy, where the active immunotherapy comprises vaccination with a tumor-specific idiotype-immunogen. It is shown herein that patient responsiveness to the idiotype-immunogen is dependent upon the sequence of the immunogen, where an immunogen having a low number of tyrosine residues in the CDR1 (herein termed CDR1-Y10) regions of one or both of the immunogen heavy and light chains is predictive of a positive anti-tumor response, while a high number of CDR1 tyrosine residues (herein termed CDR1-Yhi) is predictive of a low anti tumor response.
