The present disclosure provides anti-bed bug monoclonal antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof as well as compositions and kits comprising the same. The present disclosure also provides methods of making monoclonal antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof and methods of using the same to detect bed bugs.

This invention provides antibodies or fragments thereof that are capable of specifically binding to at least one conformational epitope of Human Enterovirus 71 (EV71), wherein the antibody individually comprises at least one variable light chain and at least one variable heavy chain. There is also provided a method of producing an antibody capable of specifically binding to at least one conformational epitope of Human Enterovirus 71 (EV71).

The present disclosure relates to a method of obtaining a cell where fucosylation pathways are modified, leading to production of partially fucosylated and non-fucosylated protein products, specifically antibodies from the cell. The present disclosure employs the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology. The method of the present disclosure targets the Fut8 gene and GMD gene in a cell. Such products are used in developing therapeutics and biomarkers, and in diagnosis and prognosis of diseases.

The present invention provides antibodies or the antigen-binding portion thereof, that bind to one or more carbohydrate antigens. Also disclosed herein are pharmaceutical pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the inhibition of cancer cells in a subject in need thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions comprise an antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The present invention relates to the use of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) as a marker for identifying and/or isolating adult multipotential cells. The present invention also relates to cell populations enriched by methods of the present invention and therapeutic uses of these cells.

Immunostimulatory fusion molecules that include an immune cell targeting moiety and a cytokine molecule, pharmaceutical and formulations thereof, and methods of using and making the same, are disclosed.

Provided are an autoantibody specifically binding to an exosomal protein EIF3A (Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit A) or a fragment including an antigen-binding site (paratope) thereof, a hybridoma cell line producing the autoantibody, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of an antigenic determinant (epitope) specifically binding to the autoantibody, a composition for diagnosing liver cancer including an agent measuring an expression level of the autoantibody or the fragment including the antigen-binding site thereof, a kit for diagnosing liver cancer including the composition, and a method of providing information for diagnosis of liver cancer by using the composition. Further, provided is a method of screening for a therapeutic agent for liver cancer by using an expression level of the autoantibody. When anti-EIF3A autoantibody of the present invention is used as a diagnostic marker for liver cancer, the incidence of liver cancer may be diagnosed at a high level only by using non-invasive biological samples. Furthermore, liver cancer may be easily diagnosed by using only the amino acid sequence identified in the present invention, leading to the effective development of diagnostic products such as a diagnostic kit for liver cancer.

The present disclosure relates to an antibody specifically binding to bovine pregnancy-associated glycoprotein 1 (bPAG1) or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. The present disclosure further relates to a hybridoma cell producing the antibody; a composition including the antibody as an effective ingredient for diagnosis of bovine pregnancy; and a kit for diagnosis of bovine pregnancy. The present disclosure also relates to a method of diagnosing bovine pregnancy. Binding specifically to bPAG1, which is a pregnancy-associated plasma protein in bovines, the antibody allows a simple diagnosis of pregnancy in animals such as bovines of which the reproduction is important, so that the antibody may be usefully applied in the livestock industry by increasing reproduction efficiency.

The invention refers to a non-therapeutic method for producing antigen-specific B cells by using the adoptive cell transfer of primed B cells, especially of spleen cells including B cells of a previously immunized non-human animal and by administering an antigen of interest to a nave non-human animal.

Polynucleotides encoding immunostimulatory fusion molecules that include an immune cell targeting moiety and a cytokine molecule, pharmaceutical and formulations thereof, and methods of using and making the same, are disclosed.
