Polypeptide-Antibody Complexes and Uses Thereof
Complexes containing a labeled polypeptide and an antibody, and the use of such complexes as research, diagnostic, and clinical tools, are described herein.
CLAUDIN-6 ANTIBODIES AND DRUG CONJUGATES
The present disclosure provides antigen-binding proteins which bind to Claudin-6 (CLDN6). In various aspects, the antigen-binding proteins bind to Extracellular Loop 2 (EL2) of the extracellular domain of CLDN6. Related polypeptides, nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, and conjugates are further provided herein. Kits and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such entities are moreover provided. Also provided are methods of making an antigen-binding protein and methods of treating a subject having cancer.
HLA CLASS II-RESTRICTED DRB T CELL RECEPTORS AGAINST RAS WITH G12D MUTATION
Disclosed is an isolated or purified T cell receptor (TCR), wherein the TCR has antigenic specificity for a mutated human RAS amino acid sequence with a substitution of glycine at position 12 with aspartic acid. The TCRs may recognize G12D RAS presented by an HLA-DR heterodimer. Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of cancer in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing cancer in a mammal.
USE OF TCTP AS BIOMARKER FOR PREDICTING EFFICACY, PROGNOSIS OF IMMUNOTHERAPY OR RESISTANCE THERETO, AND TARGET OF IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR ENHANCING EFFICACY
Disclosed herein are a method and a biomarker for predicting efficacy and prognosis of or resistance to an immunotherapy. The use of the biomarkers (TCTP, EGFR, AKT, MCL1, and/or CXCL10) of the present disclosure allows the prediction of resistance to or prognosis of a cancer immunotherapeutic agent and the selection of a therapy guaranteeing therapeutic benefit, thereby finding advantageous applications in treating cancers or tumors resistant to cancer immunotherapeutic agents.
ANTIBODIES TO M(H)DM2/4 AND THEIR USE IN DIAGNOSING AND TREATING CANCER
The present invention relates to certain anti-M(H)DM2/4 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising anti-M(H)DM2/4 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, antibody-drug conjugates comprising anti-M(H)DM2/4 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof bound to a cytotoxic drug, and the use of such antibodies, fragments, compositions and conjugates for treating cancer and/or for preventing metastases. In particular, described herein are certain antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to extracellularly accessible epitopes of M(H)DM2/4 and inhibit tumor growth in vivo, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies or fragments, antibody-drug conjugates comprising such antibodies or fragments, and the use of such antibodies, fragments, compositions and conjugates for treating cancer or for preventing metastasis.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF MODULATORS OF RAS PROTEIN COMPLEXES
Provided herein are compositions and methods for detecting conformational changes in a protein using surface-selective techniques in conjunction with a cell-free support interface. The protein generally comprises a lipid tail. The compositions and methods are useful in identifying agents that modify the conformation and activity of such proteins and protein complexes.
NOVEL PEPTIDES AND COMBINATION OF PEPTIDES FOR USE IN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER AND OTHER CANCERS
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.
Immunoassay and antibodies for the detection of chromogranin A
The present invention relates to an immunoassay method for the detection of Chromogranin A (or fragment(s) thereof) comprising the steps of contacting a sample suspected of comprising Chromogranin A with a first antibody or an antigen-binding fragment or derivative thereof specific for Chromogranin A and a second antibody or an antigen-binding fragment or derivative thereof specific for Chromogranin A under conditions allowing for the formation of a ternary complex between Chromogranin A and the two antibodies or antigen-binding fragments or derivates thereof, and detecting the binding of the two antibodies or antigen-binding fragments or derivates thereof to Chromogranin A. Also provided are antibodies directed against amino acid residues 124 to 144 and 280 to 301 of Chromogranin A and their use in the immunoassay method.
Diagnosis and treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders with PARP inhibitors
The present disclosure relates, in general, a method of diagnosing and treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders.
HLA class II-restricted T cell receptors against mutated RAS
Disclosed is an isolated or purified T cell receptor (TCR), wherein the TCR has antigenic specificity for mutated Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) presented by a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class II molecule. Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of cancer in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing cancer in a mammal.
