Abstract: Provided herein are cancer stem cell targeted cancer vaccines and methods for treating and vaccinating against cancer. Also contained herein are regimens by which cancer stem cell targeted cancer vaccines are administered, such regimens comprising peptides, compositions, immunomodulatory agents, and emulsifiers. Also provided are the patient populations to which the regimens are to be administered, and the dosages, schedules, and route of administration for the regimens.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating cancer in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a peptide derived from the EphA2 protein and/or the IL-13R?2 protein and monitoring the amount of cancer stem cells in the subject. Also provided herein are methods for monitoring the efficacy of an EphA2 peptide-based cancer treatment or an IL-13R?2 peptide-based cancer treatment in a patient with cancer, comprising monitoring the amount of cancer stem cells in the subject prior to, during, and/or following cancer treatment of a patient.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of monitoring cancer stem cells in patients undergoing cancer therapy to determine whether the cancer therapy is an effective cancer therapy. The present invention relates to methods for monitoring the amount of cancer stem cells prior to, during, and/or following cancer treatment of a patient. In particular, the methods provide measuring the amount of cancer stem cells i) in a sample obtained from a patient and/or ii) in a patient via in vivo imaging, e.g. at different time points before, during or after a treatment regimen for cancer. The change in amount of cancer stem cells over time allows the physician to judge the effectiveness of the treatment regimen and then to decide to continue, alter, or halt the treatment regimen if need be. The present invention also provides kits for monitoring cancer stem cells prior to, during, and/or following cancer treatment of a patient.

Abstract: Provided herein are improved methods for diagnosing allergy in a subject using designed ankyrin repeat proteins (“DARPins”), and kits for use in such methods. Also provided herein are novel DARPins and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for stabilizing, reducing or eliminating cancer cells. In particular, the present invention provides prophylactically and/or therapeutically effective regimens for the prevention, treatment and/or management of cancer, the regimens comprising administering one or more cancer therapies to a subject to reduce a cancer cell population. The therapy(ies) in the prophylactically and/or therapeutically effective regimen can be administered at a lower dose than currently used or known to one of skill in the art and/or for a longer period of time and/or more frequently than currently administered or known to one of skill in the art.
