A peptide vaccine complexed so that the peptide vaccine can be delivered specifically to the surface of specific immune cells and a method for delivering a peptide vaccine specifically to the surface of specific immune cells. The peptide vaccine is combined with an IgG binding peptide capable of binding to an IgG that is an agonist against molecules on the surface of specific immune cells such as dendritic cells.

The present invention relates to a novel antibody and antibody fragment that specifically binds to TNFR2 and to a composition comprising said antibody or antibody fragment. In addition, the present invention relates to a nucleic acid encoding the antibody or an antibody fragment thereof and a host cell comprising the same, and to a related use thereof. Besides, the present invention relates to the use of the antibody and antibody fragment for treatment and diagnosis.

The application relates to specific binding members which bind to programmed death-ligand (PD-L1). The specific binding members preferably comprise a PD-L1 antigen-binding site located in structural loops of a constant domain of the specific binding member. The specific binding members find application, for example, in the treatment of cancer, as well as infectious diseases, inflammation, diseases and conditions associated with inflammation, and inflammatory diseases.

The present invention provides bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds human CD28, and a second antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds human PSMA. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing PSMA, such as prostate tumors. The antibodies and bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an up-regulated or induced targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial.

The present invention provides antibodies that bind to the T cell co-inhibitor lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3) protein, and methods of use. In various embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that specifically bind to LAG3. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing LAG3 activity, thus providing a means of treating a disease or disorder such as cancer or viral infection.

Provided herein are cross-reactive antibodies (or antigen binding fragments thereof) that bind to human CTLA4, activatable antibodies that bind to human CTLA4, nucleic acid molecules encoding the same, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of their therapeutic use (e.g., for treatment of cancer).

Anti-CCHFV antibodies with neutralizing potency and protective efficacy against CCHFV are provided, as well as methods for their identification, isolation, generation, and methods for their preparation and use are provided.

The present invention relates to therapeutic immunoconjugates comprising SN-38 attached to an antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment. The antibody may bind to EGP-1 (TROP-2), CEACAM5, CEACAM6, CD74, CD19, CD20, CD22, CSAp, HLA-DR, AFP or MUC5ac and the immunoconjugate may be administered at a dosage of between 4 mg/kg and 24 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18 mg/kg. When administered at specified dosages and schedules, the immunoconjugate can reduce solid tumors in size, reduce or eliminate metastases and is effective to treat cancers resistant to standard therapies, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

The current invention relates to the intermittent dosing of an anti-CSF-1R antibody in combination with macrophage activating agent, corresponding pharmaceutical compositions or medicaments using such combination therapy.

The present invention provides compositions, systems, kits, and methods for expression of one or more biomolecules in a subject, human or non-human mammal, (e.g., at therapeutic levels for the extended periods of time required to produce therapeutic effects). In certain embodiments, compositions, systems, kits, and methods are provided that comprise a first composition comprising polycationic structures (e.g., empty cationic liposomes, cationic micelles, cationic emulsions, or cationic polymers) and a second composition comprising expression vectors (e.g., non-viral expression vectors not associated with liposomes or other carriers) encoding one or more biomolecules of interest.
