Blockade of immune checkpoints such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) shows promise in patients with cancer. Inhibitory antibodies directed at these receptors have been shown to break immune tolerance and promote anti-tumor immunity. These agents work particularly well in patients with a certain category of tumor. Such tumors may be particularly susceptible to treatment because of the multitude of neoantigens which they produce.

The present disclosure relates to an improved method for the manufacture of polypeptides comprising at least three or at least four immunoglobulin single variable domains (ISVDs). More specifically, an improved method is provided of producing, purifying and isolating polypeptides comprising at least three or at least four ISVDs in which an undesired product-related conformational variant is reduced or absent.

Methods of predicting an in vivo serum concentration of an antibody with a post-translational modification of interest after administration of the antibody are provided, as are methods for predicting a subject's exposure to post-translational variants of the antibody. The methods include predicting a percentage of the antibody with the post-translational modification of interest using an in vivo rate constant determined for the post-translational modification, and multiplying the predicted percentage of the antibody with the post-translational modification of interest by the in vivo concentration of the antibody to determine the concentration of the antibody with the post-translational modification of interest.

Disclosed are an inflammation-targeted neutrophil granulocyte drug delivery system and use thereof, wherein the drug delivery system includes neutrophil granulocytes and a therapeutic substance or a detectable substance loaded into the neutrophil granulocytes or onto the surface of the neutrophil granulocytes in a direct or indirect way. By using the neutrophil granulocytes as a carrier of a drug, the drug is actively targeted to an inflammatory site, thereby increasing the drug concentration at the inflammatory site. Under the stimulation of cytokines, the neutrophil granulocytes arriving at the inflammatory site are abnormally activated, disintegrate rapidly, and die in the way of “Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)”. This helps to rapidly release the loaded drug to the targeted site, so as to improve the therapeutic effect and reduce the toxic and side effects.
