The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T-cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

The invention relates to the use of an anti-CK8 antibody alone or in combination therapy (with another antibody and/or chemotherapeutic agent) to (1) treat solid tumours expressing CK8 having wild-type K-Ras (not mutated as disclosed herein) and (2) treat solid tumours expressing CK8 having K-Ras mutation as disclosed herein. The invention also relates to the use of anti-CK8 antibodies having internalizing property, allowing to deliver cytotoxic agent coupled to antibody for the treatment of CK8 positive solid tumours, having wild-type K-Ras (not mutated as disclosed herein) or having K-Ras mutation as disclosed herein.

Provided herein are antibodies and related polypeptides that bind specifically to CEACAM6. The antibodies and/or polypeptides can be configured as bispecific T cell engagers. The antibodies and/or polypeptides can also be configured as chimeric antigen receptors. Also provided are methods of detection and treatment of cancer, for example, pancreatic cancer, using the antibodies and related polypeptides herein.

Disclosed is an advancement in provoked chemical cleavage. Thereby the invention provides the use of a diene as a chemically cleavable group attached to a Construct, and the use of a dienophile to provoke the release of the Construct by allowing the diene to react with a dienophile capable of undergoing an inverse electron demand Diels Alder reaction with the diene. The invention includes a kit for releasing a Construct C.sup.A bound to a Trigger T.sup.R, the kit having a tetrazine and a dienophile, wherein the Trigger is the tetrazine. The invention also includes the use of the formation of a pyridazine by reacting a tetrazine having a Construct C.sup.A bound thereto and a dienophile, as a chemical tool for the release, in a chemical, biological or physiological environment, of the Construct.

The present disclosure relates to monoclonal antibodies anti-FGFR4 and their use as medicaments and diagnostic agents. In particular, it relates to an antibody which specifically binds to the acid box domain of FGFR4 and to specific portions thereof. Nucleic acids coding for said antibody, vectors and host cells for their expression and production, antibody-drug conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said antibody are also within the scope of the present disclosure. The present disclosure also relates to antibodies anti-FGFR4 for use for detecting, killing, affecting or inhibiting development and/or differentiation of colon cancer stem cells.

It is intended to provide an antitumor drug having an excellent therapeutic effect, which is excellent in terms of antitumor effect and safety. There is provided an antibody-drug conjugate in which an antitumor compound represented by the following formula is conjugated to an anti-TROP2 antibody via a linker having a structure represented by the following formula: -L.sup.1-L.sup.2-L.sup.P-NH—(CH.sub.2)n.sup.1-L.sup.a-(CH.sub.2)n.sup.2-C(═O)— wherein the anti-TROP2 antibody is connected to the terminal of L.sup.1, and the antitumor compound is connected to the carbonyl group of the —(CH.sub.2)n.sup.2-C(═O)— moiety with the nitrogen atom of the amino group at position 1 as a connecting position.

A method of predicting an effect of a c-Met inhibitor and/or selecting a subject for application of a c-Met inhibitor using TFF1, a method of monitoring an effect of a c-Met inhibitor using TFF1, and a method of treating and/or preventing cancer including administering a c-Met inhibitor to the selected subject.
