The invention relates to compositions, methods and therapies for the treatment of inflammation caused by infection with. The compositions include a combination of peptide and anti-TNF. The peptide consists of a specific amino acid sequence or a peptide consisting of an amino acid sequence derived the specific amino acid sequence by deletion, substitution, insertion or addition of one or more amino acids. The administration of the peptide and anti-TNF in therapeutically effective amounts to a patient is effective to suppress, by immune response, inflammation caused by infection with

Compositions, methods and therapies for administering antigen peptide

The invention relates to therapy and methods of applying the therapy to a patient. The invention includes the introduction of immature dendritic cells into the patient and the introduction of anti-TNF antibody into the patient. The immature dendritic cells are introduced intratumorally and/or through vessel and the anti-TNF antibody is introduced intratumorally and/or through vessel and/or subcutaneously. The immature dendritic cells can be formed by collecting monocyte cells from the patient and culturing the cells in a culture medium. The invention can be effective to regress, reduce or eliminate tumor cells in tumor tissue of the patients, including metastasized tumors. Further, the treatment of the invention is effective in the absence of conventional therapy, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Therapy and methods for introducing immature and dendritic cells and/or cytotoxic T lymphocyte and anti-TNF antibody for treatment of tumors

Therapy and methods of introducing immature dendritic cells and/or cytotoxic T lymphocyte and anti-TNF antibody for treatment of tumors

The invention relates to a method of treating tumor cells within a patient wherein immature dendritic cells developed from the patient's monocyte cells and a lymphocyte cultured medium (LCM) adjuvant are introduced into the patient directly into the patient's tumor cells. The immature dendritic cells and LCM adjuvant combine with the antigens in the tumor cells to form a cancer vaccine, thereby immediately treating the tumor cells of the patient. The invention also provides a precursor treatment step of treating the patient with radiation therapy or a chemotherapy regimen.

Dendritic cell tumor injection (DCTI) therapy

The invention relates to therapy and methods of applying the therapy to cancer patients. The invention includes introducing intratumorally cytotoxic T lymphocyte and/or NKT cells, and prior to, coincident with, or following introducing intratumorally the cytotoxic T lymphocyte and/or NKT cells, introducing intratumorally anti-TNF and/or anti-IL-10 to the patient. The cytotoxic T lymphocyte and/or NKT cells can be induced by the intratumoral introduction of immature dendritic cells to the patient. This therapy of the invention can be effective to regress, reduce or eliminate tumor cells in tumor tissue of the patients in the absence of radiation therapy.

Therapy and method for intratumorally introducing cytotoxic T lymphocyte and/or NKT cell with anti-TNF and/or anti-IL-10

In order to provide an effective vaccine against infection with, the present invention provides a peptide which is a peptide consisting of a specific amino acid sequence or a peptide consisting of an amino acid sequence derived from the specific amino acid sequence by deletion, substitution, insertion, or addition of one or more amino acids, the peptide suppressing, by immune response, inflammation caused by infection with

Antigen peptide and use thereof

The present invention relates to an adjuvant derived from human lymphocytes. The adjuvant can be used in combination with traditional vaccines or cancer immunotherapy, to enhance the response of the patient's immune system to the vaccine or other immunotherapeutic agent. The adjuvant is derived from the supernatant collected from cultured activated lymphocytes.

Human lymphocyte vaccine adjuvant

Adoptive immune cells obtained by a method including (a) obtaining mammalian antigen-presenting associated cells; (b) culturing the resulting cells from step (a) in a culture liquid contained in a culture vessel coated with a sugar chain-containing polymer; and (c) detaching the cells from step (b) by shaking the culture vessel without treating the cells with an enzyme and without using a cell detaching tool. A method for treating a malignant tumor, type I diabetes, an atopic allergic disease or an infection, by administering the adoptive immune cells to a patient. A pharmaceutical composition for treating a malignant tumor, type I diabetes, an atopic allergic disease or an infection, including the adoptive immune cells and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Adoptive immune cells for tumor vaccines

Human lymphocyte medium adjuvant

The present invention provides a method for preparing adoptive immune cells comprising the following steps of a) obtaining mammalian antigen-presenting associated cells; b) culturing the resulting cells in a culture vessel coated with a sugar chain-containing polymer; and c) detaching the cells by shaking the culture vessel without treating the cells with enzyme and without using a cell detaching tool; adoptive immune cells obtained by this preparing method; a culture vessel coated with a sugar chain-containing polymer for use in this preparation method; a kit for preparing an adoptive immune cell vaccine; and a method and a medicine for treating a malignant tumor, type I diabetes, atopic allergic diseases or infections using the adoptive immune cells.
