The application pertains to a trispecific antibody molecule which may comprise a diabody-unit integrated into a polypeptide chain having at least six variable domains linked one after another. In certain instances two single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments are distally connected to the diabody-unit providing two further antigen binding sites (FIGS. 1 and 2).

The invention features multi-specific fusion protein complexes with one domain comprising IL-15 or a functional variant and a binding domain specific to IL-12 or IL-18.

Provided herein, in some embodiments, are AFFIMER® polypeptides that binds to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and extends the half-life of the polypeptides. Also provided herein, in some embodiments, are compositions containing the polypeptides, methods of using the polypeptides, and methods of producing the polypeptides.

Multifunctional molecules that include i) an antigen binding domain that binds to CD33; and one or both of: an immune cell engager (e.g., chosen from a T cell engager, an NK cell engager, a B cell engager, a dendritic cell engager, or a macrophage cell engager) or a cytokine molecule. Additionally disclosed are nucleic acids encoding the same, methods of producing the aforesaid molecules, and methods of treating a cancer using the aforesaid molecules.

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.

A method of capturing human immunoglobulin Fc domains in a biofluid sample is provided. The method includes providing an affinity capture device. The affinity capture device includes a surface having an aptamer that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO 1 immobilized onto the surface of the affinity capture device. The biofluid sample is diluted with a binding buffer. The binding buffer includes (A) tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris), trimethylamine (TES), 2-ethanesulfonic acid (MES), or 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES); (B) a magnesium cation at a concentration between about 10 μM to about 20 mM; and (C) a total monovalent cation concentration from 0 to no greater than 100 mM. The human immunoglobulin Fc domains in the biofluid sample are adsorbed to the aptamer with the binding buffer.

The disclosure provides antibody molecules that bind to TCR Vβ regions and multispecific molecules comprising said antibody molecules. Additionally, disclosed are nucleic acids encoding the same, methods of producing the aforesaid molecules, pharmaceutical compositions comprising aforesaid molecules, and methods of treating a cancer using the aforesaid molecules.

The present invention provides a human CD16.sup.+ natural killer cell line and a CAR-expressing human CD16.sup.+ natural killer cell line. These human CD16.sup.+ natural killer cell line and a CAR-expressing human CD16.sup.+ natural killer cell line does not include synthetic, genetically modified or purposely deliberately delivered polynucleotide encoding the CD16 receptor and are non-tumorigenic cell lines. Therefore, this human CD16.sup.+ natural killer cell line and a CAR-expressing human CD16.sup.+ natural killer cell line might provide considerable long-term safety for disease treatment.

The present disclosure relates to an isolated anti-FcRn antibody, which is an antibody binding to FcRn (stands for neonatal Fc receptor, also called FcRP, FcRB or Brambell receptor) that is a receptor with a high affinity for IgG or a fragment thereof, a method of preparing thereof, a composition for treating autoimmune disease, which comprises the antibody, and a method of treating and diagnosing autoimmune diseases using the antibody. The FcRn-specific antibody according to the present disclosure binds to FcRn non-competitively with IgG to reduce serum pathogenic auto-antibody levels, and thus can be used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

The present invention relates to a method for culturing natural killer cells (NK cells) applied to immune therapy and, more particularly, to a medium addition kin for culturing NK cells with which lymphocytes derived from human peripheral blood can be cultured to effectively amplify and activate NK cells, which have an outstanding therapeutic effect on malignant tumors, while remarkably increasing the share of NK cells, and an NK cell culturing method using the kit.
