20230272054 · 2023-08-31 ·

Provided herein are compositions and combinations for the therapeutic and diagnostic use in treating and preventing biofilms and associated disorders using a high mobility group box protein (HMGB) polypeptide, mutant and/or fragment thereof and an anti-DNABII antibody, fragment or variant thereof. The polypeptide and antibody can be administered in the same or separate compositions.

Compositions and methods for the treatment of immunodeficiency

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the treatment of immunodeficiency (e.g., primary immunodeficiency disease). In particular, the invention provides human plasma immunoglobulin compositions containing select antibody titers specific for a plurality of respiratory pathogens, methods of identifying human donors and donor samples for use in the compositions, methods of manufacturing the compositions, and methods of utilizing the compositions (e.g., for prophylactic administration and/or therapeutic treatment (e.g., passive immunization (e.g., immune-prophylaxis))).

COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR USING BISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES TO BIND COMPLEMENT AND A TARGET ANTIGEN

According to certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds a target antigen and a second antigen binding domain that binds a complement component. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present disclosure are capable of binding to the target antigen with an EC.sub.50 of about 10 nM or less, and/or are capable of promoting complement deposition on the target antigen with an EC.sub.50 of about 10 nM. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the disclosure are useful for treating diseases in which inhibition or reduction of the growth of an infectious agent or cancer cell is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial.
