ENGINEERING BROADLY REACTIVE HUMAN NOTCH LIGANDS AS NOVEL TOOLS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS
Disclosed are compositions and methods for engineered DLL4 proteins. In one aspect, disclosed herein are engineered DLL4 proteins comprising a conservative amino acid substitution at a residue corresponding to residues 28, 107, 143, 194, and 206 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and further comprising at least one conservative amino acid substitution at residues 256, 257, 271, 280, 301, and 305 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.
MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY SPECIFICALLY BINDING TO TIM-3 AND USES THEREOF
The present invention relates to a monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to TIM-3 and uses thereof.
The monoclonal antibody, hTIM-3_NCC1, of the present invention specifically recognizes human and mouse cells expressing TIM-3, and it can be useful for various fields such as diagnosis of diseases mediated by TIM-3 expressing cells as well as prevention or treatment thereof.
VARIANT NUCLEIC ACID LIBRARIES FOR CD3
Provided herein are methods and compositions relating to CD3 libraries having nucleic acids encoding for a scaffold comprising a CD3 domain. CD3 libraries described herein encode for immunoglobulins such as antibodies.
Targeted in situ protein diversification by site directed DNA cleavage and repair
The present invention relates to a method for producing a panel of cells (i.e. a cell library) expressing various different mutant variants of a protein of interest, wherein only one of said mutant variants is expressed per cell from a single gene copy. The present invention also relates to a method or cell library for identifying a mutant variant of a protein of interest having a different or modified biological activity as compared to the corresponding wild-type protein of interest. According to the present invention the identified mutant variant of a protein of interest may be applied for white biotechnology.
Display library process
Disclosed are methods for identifying desired members from a display libraries, including bacteriophage display libraries. Display library members can be amplified in the presence of a target compound so that cycles of selection can be rapidly completed.
Polypeptide and antibody bound to polypeptide
An antibody for being specifically bound to a pro brain-derived neurotrophic factor (pro-BDNF) and a bound epitope. The antibody and the protein are used for treating autoimmune diseases. By inhibiting the activity induced by the pro-BDNF, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephriti, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, asthma or cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases are treated.
HIGH-THROUGHPUT SCREENING SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFICATION OF NOVEL DRUGS AND DRUG TARGETS
The present disclosure provides a high-throughput screening system and method for identification of novel drugs and drug targets. The method enables large-scale analysis of interactions between allogeneic pairs of target cells and immune cells by using an immune-bridge protein, library of guide RNA, and/or 3D tumor model.
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DOCKING BIOTINYLATED ANTIGENS ON THE EXTERIOR OF BACTERIAL OUTER MEMBRANE VESICLES
The present disclosure is directed to a system for displaying antigens. This system includes an outer membrane vesicle comprising a lipid bilayer and a synthetic antigen receptor comprising an outer membrane scaffold protein fused to a biotin-binding protein, where the outer membrane scaffold protein is incorporated in the lipid bilayer and the biotin-binding protein is displayed outside the outer membrane vesicle. Also disclosed are therapeutic compositions, nucleic acid constructs, expression vectors, and methods of eliciting an immune response in a subject.
