The present invention provides anti-influenza B virus hemagglutinin antibodies, compositions comprising anti-influenza B virus hemagglutinin antibodies, and methods of using the same.

Compositions and methods are provided for cancer treatments. The methodology entails, for instance, administering to a cancer patient a first composition comprising a plurality of bacterially derived intact minicells or intact killed bacterial cells, each of which encompasses an anti-neoplastic agent and carries a bispecific ligand on the surface, the ligand having specificity for a mammalian cell component, and a second composition comprising interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) or an agent that increases the expression of IFN-gamma in the subject. The compositions include the first composition and the second composition as described, optionally with additional anti-neoplastic agents.

The present invention relates to a composition for use in the treatment of an intestinal tract disorder caused by a gluten-associated protein, said composition comprising at least one agent which binds to the gluten-associated protein, characterized in that the composition is administered at the same time as or at most within 60 minutes after administration of at least one tannin to a patient.

The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies that bind to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) spike protein, and methods of use. In various embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to MERS-CoV spike protein. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing MERS-CoV activity, thus providing a means of treating or preventing MERS infection in humans. In some embodiments, the invention provides for a combination of one or more antibodies that bind to the MERS-CoV spike protein for use in treating MERS infection. In certain embodiments, the one or more antibodies bind to distinct non-competing epitopes comprised in the receptor binding domain of the MERS-CoV spike protein.

The invention relates to novel compositions managing or inhibiting blood clotting and related uses.

The invention relates to the field of immunotherapy and vaccine treatment of diseased cells via enhancing the immune response to the diseased cells. In the context of the present invention this is done by engineering neo-antigens in cells via oligonucleotide mediated production of aberrant RNA transcripts which, when transcribed in the cell, result in the generation or increased expression of aberrant polypeptides. Extracellular display of these polypeptides, of peptide fragments derived provides antigen epitopes (neoantigen) for detection by the immune system.

The disclosure provides humanized 3E10 antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof. Compositions and methods of using the humanized 3E10 antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof to deliver cargo are also disclosed.

This disclosure describes, in one aspect, a method for identifying β-glucan binding to immune cells of a subject. Generally, the method includes obtaining a blood sample from the subject, the blood sample comprising immune cells, adding soluble β-glucan to at least a portion of the blood sample and incubating the mixture under conditions allowing the soluble β-glucan to bind to the immune cells, and detecting soluble β-glucan bound to the immune cells. In another aspect, this disclosure describes a method that generally includes identifying the subject as a low binder of β-glucan, and co-administering to the subject a soluble β-glucan and an antibody preparation capable of converting the subject from a low binder to a high binder.

The present disclosure provides a method of reversing ticagrelor-associated bleeding in a patient by administering an antibody or fragment thereof that binds to ticagrelor.
