CD-3 ANTIBODIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF CORONAVIRUS
20230227555 · 2023-07-20 ·

This invention provides methods for treating and preventing symptoms of coronavirus infections using antibodies that recognize CD3. The invention further provides routes of administration and formulations for said methods.

ANTI-DLL3 ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE

The present disclosure provides anti-DLL3 binding constructs, such as anti-DLL3 single domain antibodies, as well as polynucleotide encoding the same. Further provided are multispecific binding constructs comprising the DLL3 binding domains described herein and polynucleotides encoding the same. Methods of production of the anti-DLL3 binding constructs and their use in the treatment of cancer are also provided herein.

Engineered T Cells

A therapeutic molecule (single chain-based antibody or ligand-based) optimized for expression and secretion from engineered T cells, which may be gamma delta (gd) T cells. When expressed from engineered gdT cells, the STAR will be secreted and mediate engagement between gdT cells and antigen/receptor on target cells. Binding mediates the formation of a cytolytic synapse between the gdT cell and the target cell leading to activation the gdT cells to release proteolytic enzymes that kill target cells.

ANTI- GPRC5D ANTIBODIES, BISPECIFIC ANTIGEN BINDING MOLECULES THAT BIND GPRC5D AND CD3, AND USES THEREOF

Provided herein are antibodies that specifically bind to GPRC5D. Also described are related polynucleotides capable of encoding the provided GPRC5D-specific antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, cells expressing the provided antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, as well as associated vectors and detectably labeled antibodies or antigen-binding fragments. In addition, methods of using the provided antibodies are described. For example, the provided antibodies may be used to diagnose, treat, or monitor GPRC5D-expressing cancer progression, regression, or stability; to determine whether or not a patient should be treated for cancer; or to determine whether or not a subject is afflicted with GPRC5D-expressing cancer and thus may be amenable to treatment with a GPRC5D-specific anti-cancer therapeutic, such as the multispecific antibodies against GPRC5D and CD3 described herein.

CD33-binding polypeptides and uses thereof

Provided herein are VHH-containing polypeptides that bind CD33. Uses of the VHH-containing polypeptides are also provided.

Tissue-homing peptide conjugates and methods of use thereof

Peptides that home, target, migrate to, are directed to, are retained by, or accumulate in and/or bind to the cartilage or kidney of a subject are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions and uses for peptides or peptide-active agent complexes comprising such peptides are also disclosed. Such compositions can be formulated for targeted delivery of an active agent to a target region, tissue, structure or cell in the cartilage. Targeted compositions of the disclosure can deliver peptide or peptide-active agent complexes to target regions, tissues, structures, or cells targeted by the peptide.

Twin immune cell engager

A Twin Immune Cell Engager (TWICE) is a kit or composition for treating cancer comprising a first component and second component. Each component comprises a targeting moiety that binds a tumor antigen expressed by the cancer or an antigen expressed by a non-cancer cell in the tumor microenvironment. In some embodiments, the first and second components each comprise an immune cell binding domain capable of immune cell binding activity when binding the immune cell binding domain in the other component, and a complementary binding domain capable of binding to a complementary antigen when binding the complementary binding domain in the other component. In some embodiments, the first and/or second components comprise a complementary functional domain with activity when targeted to the cancer cell or its microenvironment.

IMPROVED PROCESS FOR CULTURING TUMOR-INFILTRATING LYMPHOCYTES FOR THERAPEUTIC USE

The present invention is targeted towards reinvigorating exhausted Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in vitro by co-culturing excised TIL containing tumor fragments with checkpoint inhibitors, stimulating the TILs with other interleukins known to revert T cell exhaustion), and/or inhibiting the effect of regulatory T cells secreted factors (such as IL-10) thereby creating a favorable tumor microenvironment (TME) where exhausted T-cells can expand faster and to higher numbers than currently established TIL expansion protocols.
