4 results about "Interleukin 21" patented technology

The invention relates to proximity activated cytokine compounds comprising a PD-1 targeting moiety, and an IL-21 polypeptide covalently linked to an anti-IL-21 antibody-binding domain, which together provide targeted cytokine signaling to PD-1 expressing cells. The invention further relates to nucleic acid and expression vectors encoding proximity activated cytokines, as well as use of such compounds for treating cancer.

The present application belongs to the field of cell therapy and immunotherapy, and provides a genetically engineered human trophoblast, a preparation method and application thereof. The human trophoblast takes K562 cells as starting cells, and stably expresses membrane-bound interleukin 21, CD137 ligand and Delta-like ligand 1 after genetic engineering. The constructed K562 three-factor trophoblast can significantly improve the expansion efficiency, activation state and functional stability of NK cells and γδT cells. The synergistic mechanism includes enhancing the proliferation, cytotoxicity and stemness maintenance of NK cells and γδT cells through STAT3, NF-κB and Notch signaling pathways, respectively. The human trophoblast has the advantages of good expression stability, significant functional enhancement, and high activity after freezing and recovery.

Provided is a cytokine combination useful for treating a tumor and / or preventing recurrence or metastasis of the tumor. The cytokine combination with at least three cytokines selected from the following groups: interleukin 12 (IL12) or a functional variant thereof, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) or a functional variant thereof, FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L) or a functional variant thereof, interleukin 2 (IL2) or a functional variant thereof, interleukin 15 (IL15) or a functional variant thereof, interleukin 21 (IL21) or a functional variant thereof, and interleukin 7 (IL7) or a functional variant thereof. Also provided is a nucleic acid molecule encoding the cytokine combination and a vector thereof, a cell, a pharmaceutical composition, and a application thereof for the manufacture of a drug for treating the tumor and / or preventing recurrence or metastasis of the tumor.
