The present invention relates to a bispecific single chain antibody molecule comprising a first binding domain consisting of one antibody variable domain capable of binding to an epitope of the human and non-chimpanzee primate CD3 epsilon chain, wherein the epitope is part of an amino acid sequence comprised in the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs. 2, 4, 6, and 8, and a second binding domain capable of binding to an epitope of a human and a non-chimpanzee primate tumor target antigen. The invention further relates to a bispecific single chain antibody molecule comprising a first binding domain capable of binding to an epitope of human and non-chimpanzee primate CD3ϵ (epsilon) chain, wherein the epitope is part of an amino acid sequence comprised in the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs. 2, 4, 6, and 8, and a second binding domain consisting of one antibody variable domain capable of binding to an epitope of a human and a non-chimpanzee primate tumor target antigen. The invention also provides nucleic acids encoding said bispecific single chain antibody molecule as well as vectors and host cells and a process for its production. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said bispecific single chain antibody molecule and medical uses of said bispecific single chain antibody molecule.

This invention relates to treatment of cancer using antibody drug conjugates that comprise PBD molecules in combination with Bcl-2 inhibitors.

Described are immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety, comprising at least an immunoglobulin variable region that specifically binds to an MHC-peptide complex preferentially associated with aberrant cells. These immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety are preferably used in selectively modulating biological processes. The provided immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety are of particular use in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diseases related to cellular aberrancies, such as cancers and autoimmune diseases.

Nucleic acid molecules that include a nucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and a nucleotide sequence encoding a protease sensitive scFv, wherein the chimeric antigen receptor comprises: an scFv targeting a tumor antigen, a spacer, a transmembrane domain, a co-stimulatory domain, and a CD3 signaling domain; and the protease-sensitive scFv and the scFv target the same tumor antigen are described.

The present invention relates to a IL-1 antagonist alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents and relative pharmaceutical compositions for use for the treatment and/or prevention of toxicity induced by a T cell therapy, wherein the T cell expresses at least one recombinant receptor.

Provided herein are methods of treating a subject with cancer with a combination of antibody-IR700 molecules and immunomodulators. In particular examples, the methods include administering to a subject with cancer a therapeutically effective amount of one or more antibody-IR700 molecules, where the antibody specifically binds to a cancer cell surface protein, such as a tumor-specific antigen. The methods also include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more immunomodulators (such as an immune system activator or an inhibitor of immuno-suppressor cells), either simultaneously or substantially simultaneously with the antibody-IR700 molecules, or sequentially (for example, within about 0 to 24 hours). The subject or cancer cells in the subject (for example, a tumor or cancer cells in the blood) are then irradiated at a wavelength of 660 to 740 nm at a dose of at least 1 J/cm.sup.2.

The invention described herein provides antibodies or antigen-binding fragment thereof specific for an epitope within the variant exon v6 or v9 of the CD44 gene (CD44v6 or CD44v9), antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC) thereof, and other derivative comprising the antibodies or antigen-binding fragment thereof. The invention also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding the same, and methods of making the same. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and the use of the same in treating diseases or in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of the diseases, such as cancer.

Disclosed herein are compositions, devices, and methods for isolating human Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) without either electricity or enzymatic digestion. In particular, a paramagnetic immunobead (PIB) for isolating human ASCs is disclosed. In some embodiments, the PIB displays on its surface one or more antibodies that selectively bind ASC-specific antigens. Also disclosed is a method for isolating human ASCs using the disclosed PIBs.

The present invention discloses a method for treating a subject suffering from a Flavivirus infection. The method includes a step of administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition including a pharmaceutically effective amount of an anti-CD44 antibody.

Methods for making a combinatorial antibody library from human germline segments are provided. Also provided are libraries of nucleic acid molecules compiled from germline segments encoding VL chains and libraries of nucleic acid molecules encoding VH chains, and resulting antibody libraries. The libraries are provided as addressable libraries. Methods for screening antibody libraries against a target protein antigen, and the identified or selected antibodies are provided.
