The present invention relates to methods for developing engineered T-cells for immunotherapy that are non-alloreactive. The present invention relates to methods for modifying T-cells by inactivating both genes encoding T-cell receptor and an immune checkpoint gene to unleash the potential of the immune response. This method involves the use of specific rare cutting endonucleases, in particular TALE-nucleases (TAL effector endonuclease) and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides, to precisely target a selection of key genes in T-cells, which are available from donors or from culture of primary cells. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies for treating cancer and viral infections.

Bispecific antibodies which comprise one antigen-binding region binding to an epitope of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and one antigen-binding region binding to human CD3, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and methods for preparing and using the antibodies are also disclosed.

A method for assessing the risk of potential adverse effects for a human patient receiving is provided. The method comprises determining the total B count in the patient, and identifying a B cell number indicative of a patient at risk of potential adverse effects from the antibody. The method further provides a dosing schedule for administering the antibody to the patient identified as at risk of potential adverse effects. Also provided is a pharmaceutical package or kit comprising a first dose and a second dose, and optionally a third dose, the CD19×CD3 bispecific antibody as defined in the methods/dosage regimen of the disclosure.

The present invention provides novel full-length human antibodies that bind to human Fc epsilon-R1 alpha (monospecific antibodies). The present invention also provides novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both Fc epsilon-R1 alpha and CD3 and activate T cells via the CD3 complex in the presence of Fc epsilon-R1 alpha-expressing cells. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced Fc epsilon-R1 alpha-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the bispecific antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of allergies, including anaphylaxis.

There is provided a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising a CD19-binding domain which comprises a) a heavy chain variable region (VH) having complementarity determining regions (CDRs) with the following sequences: CDR1—GY-AFSSS (SEQ ID No. 1); CDR2—YPGDED (SEQ ID No. 2) CDR3—SLLYGDYLDY (SEQ ID No. 3); and b) a light chain variable region (VL) having CDRs with the following sequences: CDR1—SASSSVSYMH (SEQ ID No. 4); CDR2—DTSKLAS (SEQ ID No. 5) CDR3—QQWNINPLT (SEQ ID No. 6). There is also provided a cell comprising such a CAR, and the use of such a cell in the treatment of cancer, in particular a B cell malignancy.

Provided are CD3 binding molecules that specifically bind to CD3, for example monospecific binding molecules that specifically bind to CD3 and multispecific binding molecules (MBMs) that specifically bind to CD3 and a tumor-associated antigen, conjugates comprising the CD3 binding molecules, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the CD3 binding molecules and conjugates. Provided are methods of using the CD3 binding molecules, conjugates, and pharmaceutical compositions to activate T cells in a subject, for example a subject having a cancer or autoimmune disease. Provided are recombinant host cells engineered to express the CD3 binding molecules and methods of producing the CD3 binding molecules by culturing the host cells under conditions in which the CD3 binding molecules are expressed.

Described herein are antibodies, immunogenic fragments and compositions thereof targeting the killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor protein KIR3DL3, as well as methods of using the same for the treatment of human diseases including cancer. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to an antibody or an immunogenic fragment thereof that specifically binds to KIR3DL3 protein, wherein the antibody or the immunogenic fragment thereof specifically binds to a KIR3DL3 epitope comprising the whole extracellular domain or a portion thereof.

Provided is an immunostimulatory composition, comprising a saponin and a CpG oligodeoxynucleotide, or consisting of an adjuvant comprising a saponin and a CpG oligodeoxynucleotide, wherein the sequence of the CpG oligodeoxynucleotide has two or more copies of 5′-TTCGTT-3′ motif or 5′-TCGTCGTCG-3′ motif. Also provided is use of the immunostimulatory composition in the preparation of a medication for treating diseases.

Provided herein are anti-CD 19 antibodies and multi-specific binding proteins that bind CD 19, CD3, and serum albumin. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies or multi-specific binding proteins, expression vectors and host cells for making these antibodies or multi-specific binding proteins, and methods of use of these antibodies or multi-specific binding proteins in treating cancers.

The present disclosure provides isolated monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to CD47 preferably human CD47 with high affinity, and can enhance tumor-targeting immune response by therapeutically boosting the phagocytic function of macrophage for cancer treatment. The disclosure also provides antibodies that are chimeric, humanized, bispecific, derivatized, single chain antibodies or portions of fusion proteins. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibodies of the disclosed invention and hybridoma are also provided. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies of the disclosed invention are also provided. This disclosure also provides methods for regulating innate immune responses, as well as methods for treating cancer using an anti-CD47 antagonist antibody of the disclosed invention.
