    Individualized, Heterologous Chimpanzee Adenovirus and Self-Amplifying mRNA Neoantigen Vaccine for Advanced Metastatic Solid Tumors: Phase I Trial Interim Results

    The safety, tolerability, and recommended Phase II dose of an individualized, heterologous chimpanzee adenovirus and self-amplifying mRNA-based neoantigen vaccine in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab were assessed in an ongoing Phase I/II study in patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors.

    Abstract

    Immunodeficiency, Autoimmunity, and Increased Risk of B Cell Malignancy in Humans with TRAF3 Mutations

    In five unrelated families, investigators described an immune dysregulation syndrome of recurrent bacterial infections, autoimmunity, systemic inflammation, B cell lymphoproliferation, and hypergammaglobulinemia.

    Abstract

    Single Cell Spatial Analysis Reveals the Topology of Immunomodulatory Purinergic Signaling in Glioblastoma

    The authors revealed that purinergic signaling in gliomas was shaped by genotype, lineage, and functional state, and that core enzymes expressed by tumor and myeloid cells were organized to promote adenosine-rich microenvironments potentially amenable to therapeutic targeting.

    Single-Cell ATAC-Seq Maps the Comprehensive and Dynamic Chromatin Accessibility Landscape of CAR-T Cell Dysfunction

    The authors initially observed that CAR-T cells showed rapid differentiation and increased exhaustion after co-culture with tumor cells in vitro, and then performed single-cell ATAC-seq to depict the comprehensive and dynamic landscape of chromatin accessibility of CAR-T cells during tumor cell stimulation.

    Abstract

    BTLA+CD200+ B Cells Dictate the Divergent Immune Landscape and Immunotherapeutic Resistance in Metastatic vs. Primary Pancreatic Cancer

    Compared to primary tumors, liver metastases in both mice and humans were infiltrated by highly anergic T cells and MHCIIloIL10+ macrophages that were unable to present tumor-antigen.

    Abstract

    Molecular Monitoring of T Cell Kinetics and Migration in Severe Neurotoxicity after Real-World CD19-Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cell Therapy

    Investigators applied their recently developed digital-PCR assays to monitor CD19-CAR-T cell kinetics in cerebrospinal fluid and blood in real-world patients with neurotoxicity.
