Fusion Protein Comprising Three Binding Domains to 5T4 and CD3
The present invention relates to a bispecific binding molecule comprising three binding domains, wherein a first and/or a second binding domain are capable of binding to the extracellular 5T4 antigen and the remaining binding domain(s) is (are) capable of binding to the CD3 receptor complex on T cells. Moreover, the invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence encoding fusion protein, a vector comprising said nucleic acid sequence and a host cell transformed or transfected with said vector. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for the production of the fusion protein of the invention, a medical use of said fusion protein and a kit comprising said fusion protein.
Bi-Specific Monovalent Fc Diabodies That Are Capable of Binding CD32B and CD79b and Uses Thereof
The present invention is directed to bi-specific monovalent diabodies that comprise an immunoglobulin Fc Domain (“bi-specific monovalent Fc diabodies”) and are composed of three polypeptide chains and which possess at least one binding site specific for an epitope of CD32B and one binding site specific for an epitope of CD79b (i.e., a “CD32B×CD79b bi-specific monovalent Fc diabody”). The bi-specific monovalent Fc diabodies of the present invention are capable of simultaneous binding to CD32B and CD79b. The invention is directed to such compositions, to pharmaceutical compositions that contain such bi-specific monovalent Fc diabodies and to methods for their use in the treatment of inflammatory diseases or conditions, and in particular, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and graft vs. host disease.
Anti-BRDU antibodies and methods of use
The invention provides anti-BRDU antibodies and methods of using the same.
Amyloid-beta binding proteins
The present invention relates to amyloid-beta (Aβ) binding proteins. Antibodies of the invention have high affinity to Aβ(20-42) globulomer or any Aβ form that comprises the globulomer epitope. Method of making and method of using the antibodies of the invention are also provided.
Molecules with specificity for CD79 and CD22
The present disclosure relates to multispecific molecule comprising a binding domain specific to the antigen CD22 and a binding domain specific to the antigen CD79a and/or CD79b, compositions comprising the same and use of both in treatment, for example the treatment of autoimmune disease.
Albumin binding antibodies and binding fragments thereof
A serum albumin binding antibody or fragment thereof comprising a heavy chain variable domain having the sequence given in SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO:2 and/or comprising a light chain variable domain having the sequence given in SEQ ID NO:3 or SEQ ID NO:4, in particular comprising a heavy chain variable domain and a light chain variable domain having the sequence given in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO:3 or a heavy chain variable domain and a light chain variable domain having the sequence given in SEQ ID NO: 2 and SEQ ID NO:4. The disclosure also extends to polynucleotides encoding the antibodies or fragments, vectors comprising same and host cells capable of expressing the polynucleotides. The disclosure further includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies or fragments and therapeutic used of any one of the same.
Mesothelin domain-specific monoclonal antibodies and use thereof
Described herein is the use of rabbit hybridoma technology, along with a panel of truncated mesothelin domain fragments, to identify anti-mesothelin mAbs that bind specific regions of mesothelin. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the rabbit mAbs bind an epitope that is not part of Region I. In particular, the identified mAbs (YP187, YP223, YP218 and YP3) bind either Region II (391-486), Region III (487-581) or a native conformation of mesothelin with subnanomolar affinity. These antibodies do not compete for binding with the mesothelin-specific immunotoxin SS1P or mesothelin-specific antibody MORAb-009. In another aspect, disclosed is a high-affinity rabbit mAb that binds Region I of mesothelin (YP158). YP158 binds native mesothelin protein in cancer cells and tissues with high affinity and specificity.
Anti-wall teichoic antibodies and conjugates
The invention provides anti-wall teichoic acid antibodies and antibiotic conjugates thereof, and methods of using the same.
Soluble MIC neutralizing monoclonal antibody for treating cancer
Disclosed are compositions and methods relating to antibodies that bind soluble Major Histocompatibility Complex class I chain-related (sMIC). Specifically, disclosed are antibodies designed or selected to inhibit sMIC (e.g. to neutralize sMIC) shed from MIC+ tumors. Further disclosed are methods of using the antibodies for the treatment of MIC-positive cancers.
Multispecific binding molecules having specificity to dystroglycan and laminin-2
Provided herein multispecific (e.g., bispecific) binding molecules comprising a first binding domain that binds an extracellular portion of dystroglycan and a second binding domain that binds laminin-2. Further provided herein are methods for making such binding molecules and uses of such binding molecules for treating and/or preventing alpha-dystroglycanopathies.
