Abstract

The present invention is related to the field of high-throughput laboratory automation and instrumentation. In particular, a dynamic plate support stage device is disclosed which makes any multi-well plate compatible with any commercially available instrument that acts on plates by generating downward vertical force by compensating for plate skirt height variations. For example, when applied in the context of a plate sealer stage, the dynamic support stage device comprises a rectangular upper frame supported by a compressible attachment and surrounds a plate-support block upon which a plate is secured. When in use, a sealer instrument applies downward force on the plate, which depresses the rectangular upper frame around the plate/plate-support block complex until the well bottom fully contacts the plate-support block thereby compensating for any plate skirt height variation.

Abstract

Compositions and methods are provided for suppressing tumors by modulating the LAP pathway. Targeting components of the LAP pathway for specific drug design can be used as n immunotherapy strategy that modulates the tumor microenvironment. It is well established that infiltrating monocytes and macrophages play a pivotal role in shaping an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. By modulating LAP in the innate immune cells, the function of effector T cells can be manipulated toward an effective, cytotoxic immune response that can eliminate tumor cells. Thus, methods are provided for reducing the size or number of tumor cells and for treating cancer or other cell proliferative disorders. Further provided are methods for increasing the Th1 response or increasing IFNγ and/or TNFα expression in the tumor microenvironment by administering a LAP inhibitor.

Abstract

Provided herein are methods and compositions for modulating T-cell activity by incubating a CD8 T cell with a signal 3 cytokine, such as IL-12. Incubation of naïve CD8 T cells, particularly, with a signal 3 cytokine can acquire long-lived memory associated gene expression characteristic of the stem cell memory subset of CD8 T cells. Further, incubation with signal 3 cytokines can induce changes to the epigenetic profile of naïve CD8 T cells that are more characteristic of bona fide Tscm cells than in vitro generated cells using traditional differentiation protocols. On account of epigenetic profiles being preserved during in vivo homeostasis, signal 3 cytokines such as IL-12 can be used to engineer a T cell population with the desired epigenetic profile that maintains effector functions and proliferative capacity.

Abstract

Provided herein are methods and compositions for modulating T-cell activity by incubating a CD8 T cell with a signal 3 cytokine, such as IL-12. Incubation of naïve CD8 T cells, particularly, with a signal 3 cytokine can acquire long-lived memory associated gene expression characteristic of the stem cell memory subset of CD8 T cells. Further, incubation with signal 3 cytokines can induce changes to the epigenetic profile of naïve CD8 T cells that are more characteristic of bona fide Tscmcells than in vitro generated cells using traditional differentiation protocols. On account of epigenetic profiles being preserved during in vivo homeostasis, signal 3 cytokines such as IL-12 can be used to engineer a T cell population with the desired epigenetic profile that maintains effector functions and proliferative capacity.

Abstract

Compositions and methods are provided for suppressing tumors by modulating the LAP pathway. Targeting components of the LAP pathway for specific drug design can be used as n immunotherapy strategy that modulates the tumor microenvironment. It is well established that infiltrating monocytes and macrophages play a pivotal role in shaping an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. By modulating LAP in the innate immune cells, the function of effector T cells can be manipulated toward an effective, cytotoxic immune response that can eliminate tumor cells. Thus, methods are provided for reducing the size or number of tumor cells and for treating cancer or other cell proliferative disorders. Further provided are methods for increasing the Th1 response or increasing IFNγ and/or TNFα expression in the tumor microenvironment by administering a LAP inhibitor.

Abstract

Provided herein are methods and compositions for modulating T-cell activity by altering DNA methylation status. Altering the methylation status of CD8+ T cells can prevent T-cell exhaustion and maintain effector functions during sustained antigen exposure. The methods and compositions can be used to treat symptoms of chronic infections and cancer. Further, the methods and compositions relate to predicting T-cell activity by measuring the methylation status of specific memory cell methylation markers and using the markers to identify and separate populations of CD8 T cell having desired T cell activity. The memory cell methylation markers can further be used to identify subjects with chronic infections or cancer that would benefit from personalized therapy, including immune checkpoint blockade therapy.
