05-24-2021 Immunotherapies for Targeting of Tumor Vasculature
https://therapeuticsolutionsint.com/the ... cs-v-ipsc/
Disclosed are novel means, protocols, and compositions of matter for creating targeted immune responses and/or induction of immunological memory towards the tumor vasculature. In one embodiment pluripotent stem cells are transfected with one or more genes capable of eliciting immunity, induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cells which resemble the tumor endothelial cells, and utilized as a vaccine. In some embodiment’s genes are engineered under control of specific promoters to allow for various specificities of activity. In one specific embodiment pluripotent stem cells engineered to endow properties capable of inducing expression of the α-Gal epitope (Galα1,3Galα1,4GlcNAc-R). Addition of adjuvants to enhance antigen presentation of the vaccine composition, as well as means of stimulating systemic enhancement of circulating endothelial specific T cells are also disclosed.

Disclosed are novel means, protocols, and compositions of matter for eliciting an immune response against blood vessels supplying neoplastic tissue. In one embodiment pluripotent stem cells are transfected with one or more genes capable of eliciting immunity. In some embodiments such genes are engineered under control of specific promoters to allow for various specificities of activity. In one specific embodiment pluripotent stem cells engineered to endow properties capable of inducing expression of the α-Gal epitope (Galα1,3Galα1,4GlcNAc-R).
03-23-2021 Chimeric Cells Comprising Dendritic Cells and Endothelial Cells Resembling Tumor Endothelium
https://therapeuticsolutionsint.com/the ... d-vessels/
Disclosed are means, methods and compositions of matter useful for induction of immunological responses towards tumor endothelial cells. In one embodiment the invention teaches fusion of dendritic cells and cells resembling tumor endothelial cells and administration of such chimeric cells as an immunotherapy for stimulation of tumor endothelial cell destruction. In other embodiments pluripotent stem cells are utilized to generate dendritic cells, wherein said dendritic cells are fused with pluripotent stem cell derived endothelial cells created in a manner to resemble tumor endothelial cells.
03-16-2021 Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Dendritic Cells and Engineered Dendritic Cells for Cancer Immunotherapy
https://therapeuticsolutionsint.com/the ... temvacs-v/
Disclosed are populations of dendritic cells generated from stem cells capable of inducing immunity towards cancer. In one embodiment said dendritic cells are generated from allogeneic inducible pluripotent stem cells, for some uses, said pluripotent stem cells are genetically engineered/edited to induce cancer specific immunity and/or resist immunosuppressive effect of tumor derived microenvironment. In one embodiment pluripotent stem cells are transfected with cancer stem cell antigens such as BORIS and/or NR2F6.
02-22-2021 Ex Vivo Generation of Immunocytes Recognizing Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites (BORIS) Expressing Cancer Stem Cells
https://therapeuticsolutionsint.com/the ... tem-cells/
Disclosed are means, methods and compositions of matter useful for induction of immunity towards cancer stem cells by providing a dendritic cell, wherein said dendritic cells express BORIS and/or peptides derived from BORIS, wherein said dendritic cell is cultured in the presence of one or more immunocytes. In one embodiment said dendritic cells are derived from umbilical cord blood sources and allogeneic to T cells, which are expanded ex vivo and used for the purposes of immunotherapy.
02-08-2021 Stimulation of Natural Kill Cell Memory by Administration of Dendritic Cells
https://therapeuticsolutionsint.com/the ... to-cancer/
Disclosed are means, methods and compositions of matter useful for induction of natural killer cell memory by administration of dendritic cells and/or exosomes thereof. In one embodiment a mammal suffering from cancer is administered allogeneic cord blood derived dendritic cells that are not pulsed exogenously. In one embodiment the dendritic cells are stimulated to possess chemotactic activity towards the tumor by culture of dendritic cell progenitors in hypoxia. Natural killer cell memory is induced, in part, by triggering of upregulation of cytokines associated with homeostatic expansion such as interleukin 7 and interleukin 15.
01-26-2021 Stimulation of Dendritic Cell Activity by Homotaurine and Analogues Thereof
https://therapeuticsolutionsint.com/the ... motaurine/
Disclosed are means, methods, and compositions of matter useful for enhancement of dendritic cell activity. In one embodiment the invention provides the use of GABA agonists such as homotaurine for stimulation of dendritic cell activity. In one embodiment said dendritic cell activity is enhancement of natural killer cell activity and/or of T cell activity. In one embodiment NK cell activity is ability to induce cytotoxicity in neoplastically transformed cells, whereas T cell activity is either cytokine production for CD4 cells or cytotoxicity for CD8 cells.
06-30-2020 Augmentation of Natural Killer Cell Activity and Induction of Cytotoxic Immunity Using Leukocyte Lysate Activated Allogeneic Dendritic Cells: StemVacs™
https://therapeuticsolutionsint.com/the ... ine-storm/
Stimulation of immunity would be beneficial in various chronic conditions such as viral infections and neoplasia. Autologous dendritic cell therapy has been widely described in the immunotherapy literature and has been approved by the FDA for treatment of prostate cancer. Unfortunately, the need to generate individual doses is costly and limited by ability of the patients to have sufficient starting cell numbers available to generate sufficient dendritic cells. Here we describe the process of preparing allogeneic dendritic cells utilizing a leukocyte lysate based approach. These data support development of StemVacs for conditions that would benefit from NK activation such as cancer and COVID-19.
