341 results about "CD8" patented technology

CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR, CD8 binds to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, but is specific for the class I MHC protein. There are two isoforms of the protein, alpha and beta, each encoded by a different gene. In humans, both genes are located on chromosome 2 in position 2p12.

Waning immunity induced by first-generation Spike-alone-based COVID-19 has failed to prevent immune escape by many variants of concern (VOCs) that emerged from 2020 to 2024, resulting in a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, a next-generation Coronavirus (CoV) vaccine incorporating highly conserved non-Spike SARS-CoV-2 antigens is described herein. Conserved non-Spike T cell antigens in combination with a Spike antigen encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles: (i) Induced high frequencies of lung-resident antigen-specific CXCR5+CD4+ T follicular helper cells, GzmB+CD4+ and GzmB+CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, and CD69+IFN-γ+TNFα+CD4+ and CD69+IFN-γ+TNFα+CD8+ effector T cells; and (ii) Reduced viral load and COVID-19-like symptoms caused by various VOCs. The combined antigen / LNP-based pan-CoV vaccine could be rapidly adapted for clinical use to confer broader cross-protective immunity against emerging highly mutated and pathogenic VOCs.

The invention discloses application of a palmitoylation inhibitor in prevention and treatment of gastric cancer. The chromatin remodeling protein SNF2 derived from S.anginosus EVs can be combined with a transcription factor TEAD1, so that the transcription of the palmitoyl transferase ZDHHC11 is promoted together. Then, the stability of the ZDHHC11 is enhanced by catalyzing palmitoylation of PD-L1, and finally immune escape is induced. In addition, SNF2 also can activate AXL, CTGF, CYR61 and other carcinogenic targets at the downstream of TEAD1, thereby further accelerating the malignant progression of gastric cancer. In an in-vivo experiment, the intragastric administration of the S.anginosus EVs not only promotes the tumor growth of mice, but also significantly inhibits the infiltration of CD8 + T cells. Blocking of ZDHHC11 can effectively reverse immune escape, and has a synergistic effect with an anti-PD-1 therapy, so that the treatment effect is remarkably improved.
