Bispecific antibodies against CEACAM5 and CD47
The invention provides bispecific antibodies binding to human carcinoembryonic antigen CEACAM5 and human CD47, polynucleotides encoding such bispecific antibodies and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further provides methods for selecting and producing such antibodies and methods of using such antibodies in the treatment of diseases in monotherapy as well in combination.
Use of Bispecific CD123 x CD3 Diabodies for the Treatment of Hematologic Malignancies
The present invention is directed to a method of treating a hematologic malignancy such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), including hematologic malignancies that are refractive to chemotherapeutic and/or hypomethylating agents. The method concerns administering a CD123×CD3 bispecific binding molecule to a patient in an amount effective to stimulate the killing of cells of said hematologic malignancy in said patient. The present invention is particularly directed to the embodiment of such method in which a cellular sample (Z from the patient prior to such administration evidences an expression of one or more target genes that is increased relative to a baseline level of expression of such genes, for example, a baseline level of expression of such genes in a reference population of individuals who are suffering from the hematologic malignancy, or with respect to the level of expression of a reference gene.
ANTIBODIES TARGETING 5T4 AND USES THEREOF
Disclosed are proteins with antibody heavy chain and light chain variable domains that can be paired to form an antigen-binding site targeting 5T4 on a cell, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such proteins, and therapeutic methods using such proteins and pharmaceutical compositions, including for the treatment of cancer.
Anti-human papillomavirus 16 E6 T cell receptors
Disclosed is a T cell receptor (TCR) having antigenic specificity for an HLA-A2-restricted epitope of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E6, E6.sub.29-38. Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, and populations of cells are also provided. Antibodies, or an antigen binding portion thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions relating to the TCRs of the invention are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of a condition in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing a condition in a mammal, wherein the condition is cancer, HPV 16 infection, or HPV-positive premalignancy.
Tri-specific binding molecules that specifically bind to multiple cancer antigens
The present invention relates to Tri-Specific Binding Molecules, which are multi-chain polypeptide molecules that possess three Binding Domains and are thus capable of mediating coordinated binding to three epitopes. The Tri-Specific Binding Molecule is preferably characterized in possessing binding domains that permit it to immunospecifically bind to: (1) an epitope of a first Cancer Antigen, (2) an epitope of a second Cancer Antigen, and (3) an epitope of a molecule that is expressed on the surface of an immune system effector cell, and are thus capable of localizing an immune system effector cell to a cell that expresses a Cancer Antigen, so as to thereby facilitate the killing of such cancer cell.
BISPECIFIC FC MOLECULES
Described herein is a bispecific molecule containing an Fc polypeptide chain and immunoglobulin variable regions. Also provided are pharmaceutical formulations comprising such molecules, nucleic acids encoding such molecules, host cells containing such nucleic acids, methods of making such molecules, and methods of using such molecules.
IMMUNOGLOBULINS BINDING HUMAN VGAMMA9VDELTA2 T CELL RECEPTORS
The invention is in the field of medicine and relates to immunology, and relates in particular to human Vγ9Vδ2 T cell receptor bindingimmunoglobulin molecules. Human Vγ9Vδ2 T cell receptor binding immunoglobulin molecules are in particular for use in medical treatment and/or useful in assays with human Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, wherein human Vγ9Vδ2 T cells may be modulated.
TRIFUNCTIONAL T CELL-ANTIGEN COUPLER AND METHODS AND USES THEREOF
A trifunctional molecule comprising a target-specific ligand, a ligand that binds a protein associated with the TCR complex and a T cell receptor signaling domain polypeptide is provided. Engineering T cells with this novel receptor engenders anti -gen specific activation of numerous T cell functions, including cytokine production, degranulation and cytolysis.
PROTEASE-ACTIVATABLE BISPECIFIC PROTEINS
Described herein are protease-activatable proteins (PABPs), which, when activated, can mediate cytolysis of target cells by effector cells. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding such PABPs and methods of making and using PABPs.
ANTIBODIES BINDING TO GPRC5D
The present invention generally relates to antibodies that bind to GPRC5D, including bispecific antigen binding molecules e.g. for activating T cells. In addition, the present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding such antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further relates to methods for producing the antibodies, and to methods of using them in the treatment of disease.
