Provided herein are polypeptides that bind to a transferrin receptor, methods of generating such polypeptides, and methods of using the polypeptides to target a composition to a transferrin receptor-expressing cell.

Antibodies that include a sulfatase motif-containing tag in a constant region of an immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain polypeptide are disclosed. The sulfatase motif can be converted by a formylglycine-generating enzyme (FGE) to produce a formylglycine (fGly)-modified Ig heavy chain polypeptide. An fGly-modified Ig heavy chain polypeptide of the antibody can be covalently and site-specifically bound to a moiety of interest to provide an antibody conjugate. The disclosure also encompasses methods of production of such tagged Ig heavy chain polypeptides, fGly-modified Ig heavy chain polypeptides, and antibody conjugates, as well as methods of use of same.

The present invention relates to a CHO cell-derived protein secretory factor, an expression cassette in which a nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein secretory factor; and a gene encoding a target protein are operably linked, an expression vector comprising the expression cassette, a transformed cell into which the expression vector is introduced, and a method for producing a target protein using the transformed cell.

A humanized CD 19 antibody, and a chimeric antigen receptor thereof, an immune cell thereof and the use thereof are provided. The humanized CD19 antibody is based on a FMC63 chimeric antibody, which is subjected to humanization modification. A CAR-T and a dual CAR-T cell constructed based on the humanized antibody and the related use thereof are also provided. Compared with a CAR-T cell constructed by using FMC63, the CAR-T cell constructed based on the humanized antibody has higher killing effect and tumor removal ability.

Disclosed are antigen binding polypeptides and antigen binding polypeptide complexes (e.g., antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof) having certain structural features. Also disclosed are polynucleotides and vectors encoding such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes; chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), cells, pharmaceutical compositions and kits containing such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes; and methods of using such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes.

The invention discloses methods for the generation of chimaeric human-non-human antibodies and chimaeric antibody chains, antibodies and antibody chains so produced, and derivatives thereof including fully humanised antibodies; compositions comprising said antibodies, antibody chains and derivatives, as well as cells, non-human mammals and vectors, suitable for use in said methods.

The present invention relates to a chromatography ligand, which comprises Domain C from Staphylococcus protein A (SpA), or a functional fragment or variant thereof. The chromatography ligand presents an advantageous capability of withstanding harsh cleaning in place (CIF) conditions, and is capable of binding Fab fragments of antibodies. The ligand may be provided with a terminal coupling group, such as arginine or cysteine, to facilitate its coupling to an insoluble carrier such as beads or a membrane. The invention also relates process of using the ligand in isolation of antibodies, and to a purification protocol which may include washing steps and/or regeneration with alkali.
