The present invention provides thymic T regulatory cells (ThyTreg cells) that encode or alternatively express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising an extracellular domain, a hinge region, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain, wherein the intracellular domain comprises a cytoplasmic costimulatory domain having a sequence having at least 85% identity with SEQ ID NO: 1, and a cytoplasmic stimulatory domain. The present invention also provides compositions and uses in immunotherapy.

Provided herein are IL-2 muteins, IL-2 mutein Fc-fusion molecules, anti-IL-2 antibodies, and complexes comprising an anti IL-2 antibody bound to an IL-2 cytokine that preferentially expand and activate T regulatory cells and are amenable to large scale production. Also provided herein are variant human IgG1 Fc molecules lacking or with highly reduced effector function and high stability despite lacking glycosylation at N297. Also provided herein are linker peptides that are glycosylated when expressed in mammalian cells. Also provided herein are methods of making and using the compositions of the present invention.

This invention provides compositions and methods for reducing the immunogenicity of cells for transplantation, including cell-based immunotherapy. [Solution] A vector encoding β2-microglobulin (B2M) modified RNA, along with a targeting moiety and other signaling and / or suicide genes, enables the efficient generation of engineered CAR T regulatory cells or other therapeutic cells derived from any source. The present invention provides, for example, vectors encoding β2-microglobulin (B2M) modified RNA and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs).

The invention relates to the medicinal product consisting of CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127− T regulatory cells administered intrathecally in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Aging progresses at different rates among individuals, underscoring the need for better indicators of functional decline. The inventors showed that the T cell energy metabolism in the elderly reveals that high mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, especially in CD4 T regulatory cells, is associated with a reduced probability of being frail / prefrail, independent of age, sex, or comorbidities. When mitochondrial respiration drops below a critical threshold, it adversely affects intrinsic capacity. Furthermore, a low level of oxidative phosphorylation in CD4 T helper cells, particularly in central and effector memory subsets, was significantly associated with a faster decline in intrinsic capacity over time, suggesting that T cell mitochondrial bioenergetics represents a key biomarker for managing functional decline in older adults. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method for determining the risk of age-related functional decline in a subject comprising the step of measuring the mitochondrial dependency in a population of T cells wherein the mitochondrial dependency (MitoDep) correlates with the age-related functional decline.

Immunotherapy leverages the body's immune system to target cancer cells, but some tumors resist this treatment due to low infiltration of T CD8+ cells and high infiltration of regulatory T cells in the tumor microenvironment. The inventors showed that a JAK inhibitor (i.e. ruxolitinib) reshapes the tumor immune microenvironment resulting in T regulatory cells reduction and T CD8+ cells increase. Ruxolitinib-mediated immune microenvironment effects create new therapeutic opportunities by enhancing anti-PD1 treatment efficacy in cSCC and melanoma and other immunotherapy resistant cancer types such as pancreatic cancer and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cell-based immunotherapy response is also improved in AML. Accordingly, the present invention relates to the use of JAK inhibitors for enhancing the potency of immunotherapy.

The present invention relates to methods for monitoring and for assessing the efficacy of, respectfully, cell therapies of patients treated with CD4+ Fox P3+ T regulatory cells. Further subject matter relates to cell therapeutic methods using CD4+ Fox P3+ T regulatory cells and the monitoring methods of the invention.

This disclosure describes a novel approach that specifically modulates the activity and / or the number of intratumoral regulatory T (Treg) cells in a subject. Such an approach can be used to reduce the number of intratumoral T regulatory cells in a subject as well as to inhibit tumor growth in a subject having a cancer without eliciting autoimmune responses.
