Methods for engineering allogeneic and immunosuppressive resistant t cell for immunotherapy

Methods for developing engineered T-cells for immunotherapy that are both non-alloreactive and resistant to immunosuppressive drugs. The present invention relates to methods for modifying T-cells by inactivating both genes encoding target for an immunosuppressive agent and T-cell receptor, in particular genes encoding CD52 and TCR. This method involves the use of specific rare cutting endonucleases, in particular TALE-nucleases (TAL effector endonuclease) and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides, to precisely target a selection of key genes in T-cells, which are available from donors or from culture of primary cells. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies for treating cancer and viral infections.

The present invention pertains to engineered T-cells, method for their preparation and their use as medicament, particularly for immunotherapy. The engineered T-cells of the invention are characterized in that the expression of beta 2-microglobulin (B2M) and / or class II major histocompatibility complex transactivator (CIITA) is inhibited, e.g., by using rare-cutting endonucleases able to selectively inactivating by DNA cleavage the gene encoding B2M and / or CIITA, or by using nucleic acid molecules which inhibit the expression of B2M and / or CIITA. In order to further render the T-cell non-alloreactive, at least one gene encoding a component of the T-cell receptor is inactivated, e.g., by using a rare-cutting endonucleases able to selectively inactivating by DNA cleavage the gene encoding said TCR component. In addition, expression of immunosuppressive polypeptide can be performed on those modified T-cells in order to prolong the survival of these modified T cells in host organism. Such modified T-cell is particularly suitable for allogeneic transplantations, especially because it reduces both the risk of rejection by the host's immune system and the risk of developing graft versus host disease.

Use of cell adhesion inhibitor for the mobilization of antigen presenting cells and immune cells in a cell mixture (AIM) from the peripheral blood and methods of use

Disclosed is a method to recover an antigen presenting cells (APCs) and immune cells rich mixture (AIM) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) mobilized with one or more cell adhesion inhibitors for the preparation of an AIM vaccine or an AIM adoptive immunotherapy preparation. In addition, AIM mobilization can be enhanced by priming, simultaneously or in sequence, one or more of a combination of different chemical compounds, cytokines, hormones, growth factors, etc. The interaction of chemokines and chemokine receptors enable tumor cells attachment or in close proximity to antigen presenting cells and immune cells which possess similar receptors in a micro niche environment. Severing the chemokine / chemokine receptor linkage by a cell adhesion inhibitor will release these specifically primed cell mixtures into the peripheral blood. The collection of these cells from the peripheral blood has never been described and is the basis of this invention. AIM cells can either be used alone or better still, be induced into more target specific preparations with additions, modifications and incubation, pre or post cell adhesion inhibitors mobilization, with vaccines, different target specific antigens, peptides, chemotherapeutic agents, oncolytic viral therapeutic agents, cytokines, co-stimulatory molecules, anti-regulatory T cell therapeutic agents, anti-CTLA4, anti-PD1 molecules and other methodologies of immunological enhancement known to the art. The AIM vaccine or AIM adoptive immunotherapy preparation can then be used, but not limited to, the treatment of cancer and other diseases.
