NOVEL CELL EPITOPES AND COMBINATION OF CELL EPITOPES FOR USE IN THE IMMUNOTHERAPY OF MYELOMA AND OTHER CANCERS
The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer, in particular myeloma. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

MODIFIED CLOSED-ENDED DNA (CEDNA)
CeDNA vectors having linear and continuous structure can be produced in high yields and used for effective transfer and expression of a transgene. ceDNA vectors comprise an expression cassette and two different ITR sequences derived from AAV genomes in a specified order. Some ceDNA vectors provided herein further comprise cis-regulatory elements and provide high gene expression efficiencies. Further provided herein are methods and cell lines for reliable and efficient production of the linear, continuous and capsid-free DNA vectors.
Anti-ErbB3 Antibodies and Uses Thereof
The present invention provides antibodies that bind to ErbB3 and methods of using same. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to human ErbB3. In certain embodiments, the antibodies of the present invention block the interaction of ErbB3 with an ErbB3 ligand such as neuregulin 1. The antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers.
Folate receptor 1 antibodies and immunoconjugates and uses thereof
Novel anti-cancer agents, including, but not limited to, antibodies and immunoconjugates, that bind to human folate receptor 1 are provided. Methods of using the agents, antibodies, or immunoconjugates, such as methods of inhibiting tumor growth are further provided.
Antibodies specific for claudin 6 (CLDN6)
The present invention provides antibodies useful as therapeutics for treating and/or preventing diseases associated with cells expressing Claudin-6 (CLDN6), including tumor-related diseases such as ovarian cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, hepatic cancer, pancreatic cancer, skin cancer, malignant melanoma, head and neck cancer, sarcoma, bile duct cancer, cancer of the urinary bladder, kidney cancer, colon cancer, placental choriocarcinoma, cervical cancer, testicular cancer, and uterine cancer.
ANTI-MESOTHELIN POLYPEPTIDES AND PROTEINS
Polypeptides and proteins that specifically bind to and immunologically recognize human mesothelin582-598 (IP-NGYLVLDLSMQEALS) (SEQ ID NO: 1) are disclosed. Anti-mesothelin binding moieties, nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, pharmaceutical compositions, and conjugates relating to the polypeptides and proteins are disclosed. Methods of reducing mesothelin shed from cell membranes, methods of reducing the activity of TNF converting enzyme, methods of detecting the presence of cancer, and methods of treating or preventing cancer are also disclosed.
HUMAN ANTI-VEGFR-2/KDR ANTIBODIES
The invention relates to antibodies that bind to VEGFR-2. The antibodies are used for treating neoplastic diseases, hyperproliferative disorders, and angiogenic disorders and can be used alone or in combination with other agents.
ANTIGEN BINDING PROTEINS BINDING TO 5T4 AND 4-1BB AND RELATED COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
The present disclosure relates to protein molecules that specifically bind to 5T4 and/or 4-1BB. The molecules may have at least one humanized 5T4-binding or 4-1BB-binding domain. Such molecules are useful for the treatment of cancer. The protein molecule binding to 5T4 or 4-1BB may have a second binding domain that binds to another target. The molecules may bind both 5T4-expressing cells and a cell-surface molecule expressed by an effector cell to enhance effector cell activation, proliferation, survival and/or effector-cell mediated cytotoxicity. The disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the 5T4-binding or 4-1BB-binding polypeptide or protein molecules, nucleic acid molecules encoding these polypeptides and methods of making and using these molecules.
