  • Patent number: 11858978
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

  • Patent number: 11751056
    Abstract: A method for historical 5G user equipment (UE) mobility tracking and security screening includes receiving, at a network data aggregation node including at least one processor, UE registration data from 5G network functions (NFs) as UEs connect to different network locations. The method further includes aggregating, at the network node, registration data for individual UEs from the 5G NFs to produce mobility patterns for the UEs. The method further includes receiving, at the network node and from a 5G NF located in a home network of a UE, a request for a mobility pattern of the UE in response to receiving a message for effecting a new registration for the UE. The method further includes responding to the request by transmitting the mobility pattern to the 5G NF located in the home network of the UE.
