BackgroundAmphivena’s ReSTORE T cell engager platform produces tunable, potent, and selective molecules that mitigate immune suppression while also directly targeting tumor cells. The core function of this platform utilizes AMV564, a clinically active molecule that has been shown in a phase 1 study to selectively deplete myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and produce clinical responses in cancer patients (NCT04128423).1 Increased levels of MDSC in cancer patients correlate with reduced overall survival, as MDSC suppressive factors impair T cell activation and anti-tumor immunity. With the addition of unique target-specific VHH domains to the AMV564 core, new platform molecules can be engineered with additional functionality to selectively target tumor-specific antigens.MethodsCell lines, primary human cells, and patient samples were analyzed using flow cytometry with appropriate marker panels including directly labeled AMV564 (phycoerythrin) and labeled anti-AMV564 antibodies. T cell cytotoxicity assays were conducted using primary human T cells and target cells (3:1 ratio) for 72 hours. Biophysical characterization was performed using standard techniques with SDS-PAGE gels, analytical SEC, and Octet analysis.ResultsWe have engineered a stable and potent T cell engager platform that targets both MDSC and tumor cells (figure 1). The tumor antigen potency relative to MDSC cytotoxicity is tunable, allowing design flexibility. We demonstrate that ReSTORE molecules expressing a variety of VHH domains can effectively mediate a cytolytic synapse with KG-1 target cells, which represent MDSC in in vitro assays due to their CD33 expression level and myeloid differentiation state (figure 2A).2 Our platform molecules act as robust T cell agonists while maintaining selectivity with minimal activation-induced cell death (AICD) compared to positive controls (CD3/CD28) and demonstrate dose-dependent enhancement of cytolytic activity (figure 2B). Molecules with targets ranging from tumor targets to antiviral epitopes have been developed, and they maintain potent and selective T cell-dependent cytotoxicity against cells expressing the target antigen (figure 3A). New targets can be engineered to accommodate desired potency, and bivalent design yields selectivity (figure 3B). In all cases, these molecules significantly inhibit cancer cell growth in a dose dependent manner.Abstract 849 Figure 1ReSTORE platform molecules are bivalent and trispecific. The core function of each molecule targets MDSC (M) while activating and expanding T cells (T). By adding unique VHH domains, these molecules gain the ability to target specific tumor antigens (R) and direct specific tumor cell killing.Abstract 849 Figure 2Cytotoxicity assay using primary T cells demonstrates ‘core’ potency of platform molecules on the CD33-expressing KG-1 cell line. Core potency can be engineered to allow appropriate dosing for TME saturation while maintaining selectivity (2A). T cell proliferation exceeds positive control (CD3/CD28) across expected clinical dose range while maintaining selectivity and T cell viability (2B).Abstract 849 Figure 3Bivalent VHH affinity can be engineered to increase or decrease potency depending on the specific target while maintaining selectivity. AMV-MSLN lead demonstrates potent cytotoxic effects on MSLN-high HeLa cells (3A). The same AMV-MSLN molecule does not target MSLN-low HT-29 cells. AMV-X binds a non-MSLN surface antigen on HT-29, demonstrating the potency and specificity of ReSTORE molecules (3B).ConclusionsThe clinically validated MDSC-depleting core of the ReSTORE platform molecules allow targeting of specific antigens associated with a variety of solid and hematologic tumor indications. This antigen-specific cytotoxicity of cancer cells occurs in parallel with control of the immunosuppressive MDSC.ReferencesNiharika B Mettu, Alexander Starodub, Sarina Anne Anne Piha-Paul, Raghad Muhsin Abdul-Karim, Gabriel Tinoco, Michael Rahman Shafique, Victoria Smith, Christina Baccei, Patrick Youngwhan Chun.

Spain is more commonly known as Andalusia, the Andalusia comes from the word Vandalusia, which means the country of the Vandals, because the southern part of the Peninsula was once ruled by the Vandals before they were defeated by Western Gothia in the fifth century. This area was ruled by Islam after the rulers of The Umayyah seized the peninsula's land from the West Gothies during the time of the Caliph Al-Walid ibn Abdul Malik. Islam entered Spain (Cordoba) in 93 AH (711 AD) through the North African route under the leadership of Tariq bin Ziyad who led the Islamic army to conquer Andalusia. Before the conquest of Spain, Muslims had taken control of North Africa and made it one of the provinces from the Umayyad Dynasty. Full control of North Africa took place in the days of Caliph Abdul Malik (685-705 AD). Conquest of the North African region first defeated until becoming one of the provinces of the Umayyad Caliph spent 53 years, starting from 30 H (Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan's reign) to 83 H (al-Walid's period). Before being defeated and then ruled by Islam, in this region there were sacs which became the basis of the power of the Roman Empire, namely the Gothic Kingdom. In the process of conquering Spain there were three Islamic heroes who could be said to be the most effective in leading units of troops there. They are Tharif ibn Malik, Tariq ibn Ziyad, and Musa ibn Nushair. Subsequent territorial expansion emerged during the reign of Caliph Umar ibn Abdil Aziz in the year 99 AH/717 AD, with the aim of controlling the area around the Pyrenian mountains and South France. The second largest invasion of the Muslims, whose movement began at the beginning of the 8th century AD, has reached all of Spain and reached far to Central France and important parts of Italy. The victories achieved by Muslims appear so easy. It cannot be separated from the existence of external and internal factors. During the conquest of Spain by Muslims, the social, political and economic conditions of this country were in a sad state. Politically, the Spanish region was torn apart and divided into several small countries. At the same time, the Gothic rulers were intolerant of the religious beliefs adopted by the rulers, namely the Monophysites, especially those who adhered to other religions, Jews. Adherents of Judaism, the largest part of the Spanish population, were forced to be baptized to Christianity. Those who are unwilling brutally tortured and killed. The people are divided into the class system, so that the situation is filled with poverty, oppression, and the absence of equality. In such situations, the oppressed await the arrival of the liberator and the liberator was from Muslims. Warrior figures and Islamic soldiers who were involved in the conquest of Spain are strong figures, their soldiers are compact, united, and full of confidence. They are also capable, courageous, and resilient in facing every problem. Equally important are the teachings of Islam shown by the Islamic soldiers, like tolerance, brotherhood, and help each other. The attitude of tolerance of religion and brotherhood contained in the personalities of the Muslims caused the Spanish population to welcome the presence of Islam there. Since the first time Islam entered in the land of Spain until the collapse of the last Islamic empire was about seven and half centuries, Islam played a big role, both in fields of intellectual progress (philosophy, science, fiqh, music and art, language and literature) and the splendor of physical buildings (Cordova and Granada). The long history passed by Muslims in Spain can be divided into six periods. Spanish Muslims reached the peak of progress and glory rivaled the glory of the Abbasid sovereignty in Baghdad. Abdurrahman Al-Nasir founded the Cordova University. He preceded Al-Azhar Cairo and Baghdad Nizhamiyah.

The commercial viability of Gurinder Chadha’s Viceroy’s House (2017) and Stephen Frears’ Victoria and Abdul (2017) can be attributed to their effective use of heritage film elements to offer romanticized versions of British rule. Decoding the teleological intent behind these romanticized versions, this article contends that the chosen films promote nostalgia in response to the postimperial melancholia that Britain is experiencing in the contemporary period. Exploring the cinematic recreation of nostalgia, this article analyses the spatial, material, and racial aspects of Victoria and Abdul and Viceroy’s House. The spatial analysis highlights the cinematography used to depict heritage space to commemorate British tradition, the material examination focuses on colonial gifts of economic mobility and political emancipation bestowed on the colonized, and the racial analysis focuses on Muslim stereotyping through exoticism and animalization to reinforce British pride in civilizing the “inferior race”. An explication of these cinematic and narrative elements highlights the films’ invocation of nostalgia for an idealized past through a return to a closed epoch of empire that uncritically and dangerously reproduces ideologies of British cultural and racial superiority. Furthermore, this invocation of nostalgia works to glorify British historical origins and strengthen national cohesion in order to allay collective anxieties about the abject loss of the empire’s global recognition in the wake of Brexit.

A group of Armenian intellectuals in Smyrna inspired by that document created different associations to improve their national, public and religious affairs and admitted to the English and French masonic lodges. On November 19,1859, ―The Homer‖ 806 Lodge, founded by the license of ―The Great Lodge of England‖, promoted activity among Western Armenians (about three decades) to disseminate masonic ideas. The eminent figures of the Lodge were the famous English mason Hyde Clarke, the well-known Western- Armenia masonic leader Serovbe Aznavour, vendor Michael Eramyan, playwright, philologist Sargis Vanandetsi and the like. On March 31, 1861, the members of ―The Homer‖‘ Lodge founded the francophone ―La Victoire‖ in Smyrna, and the 1st Armenian lodge ―Tigran‖ 1014 - on April 29, 1864. The lodge ―Homer‖ stopped its activity on February 15,1887 because of the latest political developments in Smyrna.
