This disclosure describes compounds that engage NK cells and methods of using the compounds. Generally, the compound includes an NK engaging domain, a targeting domain that selectively binds to a target cell, and an NK activating domain operably linking the NK engaging domain and the targeting domain. In an illustrative embodiment, the targeting domain selectively binds to an HIV antigen.

The present invention provides methods and compositions comprising a particle comprising at least one first targeting agent which binds a first target on an NK cell surface, and at least one second targeting agent which binds a second target on a cancer cell surface, wherein the second targeting agent is different from the first targeting agent.

Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) have emerged as a class of promising anti-cancer and anti-infection biological drugs. They are capable of killing target cells, either cancer cells or microbe-infected cells, at levels of nanograms per milliliter serum in vivo, about 1e+5 folds more powerful than regular antibodies. To bypass the problems of high cost in production and inconvenience in administration, a logical solution is to use gene therapy vectors to produce them in vivo. In a series of preclinical studies, we have demonstrated that DNA MiniCircle was able to express far above therapeutic levels of bsAB persistently both in the presence as well as the absence of transfection co-factors. As a specific and intended improvement of the claimed invention, an enhanced form of bispecific antibodies incorporating a target cell-effector cell bridging device (BTEC) is additionally disclosed.

The present application features antibodies that bind to human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). These anti-FcRn antibodies are useful, e.g., to promote clearance of autoantibodies in a subject, to suppress antigen presentation in a subject, to block an immune response, e.g., block an immune complex-based activation of the immune response in a subject, and to treat immunological diseases (e.g., autoimmune diseases) in a subject. These anti-FcRn antibodies are also useful, e.g., to decrease pathogenic antibody transport across the placenta of a pregnant subject, to increase pathogenic antibody catabolism in a pregnant subject, and to treat an antibody-mediated enhancement of viral disease in a fetus or a neonate.

Among other things, the present disclosure provides compounds, compositions thereof, and methods of using the same. In some embodiments, compounds of the present disclosure bind to Fc receptors, e.g., CD16a. In some embodiments, compounds of the present disclosure are useful for treating various conditions, disorders or diseases including cancer.

The invention relates to heavy chain variable regions, binding domains and antibodies specific for human CD3, and CD3 binding proteins. The invention further relates to the use of a CD3 binding protein, preferably an antibody, of the invention in the treatment of cancer or autoimmune disease.

Provided is an antibody that has a high binding activity to membrane-bound IgM on the surface of B cells and exhibits a growth inhibition effect on the B cells, even in the presence of soluble IgM in blood. A bispecific antibody, which binds to IgM and a B cell surface antigen.

The present disclosure pertains to compositions comprising anti-VEGF and methods for producing such compositions in chemically defined media and controlling amounts of certain oxidized aflibercept variants.

The present disclosure provides BCMA binding molecules that specifically bind to human BCMA, conjugates comprising the BCMA binding molecules, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the BCMA binding molecules and the conjugates. The disclosure further provides methods of using the BCMA binding molecules to treat cancers that express cell surface BCMA. The disclosure yet further provides recombinant host cells engineered to express the BCMA binding molecules and methods of producing the BCMA binding molecules by culturing the host cells under conditions in which the BCMA binding molecules are expressed.

The invention provides anti-FcRH5 antibodies and immunoconjugates and methods of using the same.
