C07K16/2803
Stable Antibody Containing Compositions
The invention relates to stable and low viscous (<50 cP) protein containing compositions, in particular, but not exclusively stable antibody containing compositions and to the use of said stable proteins in therapy, in particular for the subcutaneous delivery of said stable protein.
mAb-DRIVEN CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR SYSTEMS FOR SORTING/DEPLETING ENGINEERED IMMUNE CELLS
A polypeptide encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising at least one extracellular binding domain that comprises a scFv formed by at least a VH chain and a VL chain specific to an antigen, wherein said extracellular binding domain comprises at least one mAb-specific epitope.
BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE
The present invention relates to antibodies that bind to receptors expressed on the blood brain barrier and methods of using the same.
ANTIBODY-UREASE CONJUGATES FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES
Pharmaceutical compositions comprising antibody-urease conjugates and substantially free of unconjugated urease are disclosed. These compositions are prepared by a method that does not require chromatographic purification. These pharmaceutical compositions have utility in the treatment of cancer by antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy wherein the urease converts endogenous urea into ammonia in situ to induce cytotoxicity.
MACROPHAGES EAT CANCER CELLS USING THEIR OWN CALRETICULIN AS A GUIDE
Therapeutic and diagnostic methods are provided, which methods relate to the induction of expression of calreticulin on phagocytic cells. Specifically, the methods relate to macrophage-mediated programmed cell removal (PrCR), the methods comprising increasing PrCR by contacting a phagocytic cell with a toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist; or down-regulating PrCR by contacting a phagocytic cell with an inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). In some embodiments, an activator of TLR signaling or a BTK agonist is provided in combination with CD47 blockade.
CD33 SPECIFIC CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS
Provided herein are chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) for cancer therapy, and more particularly, CARs containing a scFv from a CD33 monoclonal antibody. Provided are immune effector cells containing such CARs, and methods of treating proliferative disorders such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and relapsed or refractory AML.
OPTIMIZED ANTIBODIES THAT TARGET CD19
The present invention describes antibodies that target CD19, wherein the antibodies comprise at least one modification relative to a parent antibody, wherein the modification alters affinity to an FcγR or alters effector function as compared to the parent antibody. Also disclosed are methods of using the antibodies of the invention.
ANTI-CLL1 SPECIFIC SINGLE-CHAIN CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS (SCCARS) FOR CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY
The present invention relates to Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CAR) that are recombinant chimeric proteins able to redirect immune cell specificity and reactivity toward CLL1 positive cells. The engineered immune cells endowed with such CARs are particularly suited for immunotherapy for treating cancer, in particular leukemia.
METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS FOR CELLULAR IMMUNOTHERAPY
The present invention provides nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, methods and compositions to confer and/or augment immune responses mediated by cellular immunotherapy, such as by adoptively transferring CD8+ central memory T cells or combinations of central memory T cells with CD4+ T cells that are genetically modified to express a chimeric receptor. In some alternatives the genetically modified host cell comprises a nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide coding for a ligand binding domain, a poly nucleotide comprising a customized spacer region, a polynucleotide comprising a transmembrane domain, and a polynucleotide comprising an intracellular signaling domain. In some alternatives, the ligand binding domains binds to CD171.
A PHAGE-DISPLAYED SINGLE-CHAIN VARIABLE FRAGMENT LIBRARY
Disclosed herein is a phage-displayed single-chain variable fragment (scFv) library, that comprised a plurality of phage-displayed scFvs characterized with (1) a specific CS combination; (2) a specific distribution of aromatic residues in each CDR; and (3) a specific sequence in each CDR. The present scFv library could be used to efficiently produce different antibodies with binding affinity to different antigens. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a potential means to generate different antigen-specific antibodies promptly in accordance with the need in experimental researches and/or clinical applications.
