Compositions and methods of using these compositions that can include a targeting moiety and a therapeutic agent are described herein. These compositions can be used for diagnosing and/or treating flaviviridae-family viruses including Zika virus, dengue virus, and yellow fever.

The present disclosure provides antibody sequences found in antibodies that bind to human CD25. In particular, the present disclosure provides sequences of anti-human CD25 antibodies, which do not block the binding of CD25 to IL-2 or IL-2 signalling. Antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof including such sequences can be used in pharmaceutical composition and methods of treatment, in particular for treating cancer.

This document relates to conjugates of a biologically active molecule or a derivative thereof and functionalized (e.g., mono- or bi-functional) polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol and related polymers) as well as methods and materials for making and using such conjugates.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for preventing an anaphylactoid hypersensitivity reaction in a subject by providing to that subject a combination of antigen-binding IgG and an anti-IgE antibody.

Disclosed are methods of treating cancer using a combination of an immunotherapeutic agent, such as, for example, a PD-1, PD-L1 or CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitor, and a glutamate modulating agent such as riluzole or trigriluzole. Pharmaceutical compositions including the immunotherapeutic agents and glutamate modulating agents are also disclosed.

A method of treating active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in a patient by administering a clinically proven safe and clinically proven effective amount of an anti-IL-12/IL-23p40 antibody or an anti-IL-23 antibody, e.g., the anti-IL-12/IL-23p40 antibody ustekinumab, wherein the patient achieves a significant improvement in disease activity.

This document relates to conjugates of TNF inhibitors or derivatives thereof and functionalized (e.g., mono- or bi-functional) polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol and related polymers) as well as methods and materials for making and using such conjugates.

The present invention provides antigen binding molecules (ABMs) which bind membrane-bound CEA, including ABMs with improved therapeutic properties, and methods of using the same.

The present disclosure provides antibody sequences found in antibodies that bind to human CD25, in particular an anti CD25-a-672 antibody which do not block the binding of CD25 to IL-2 or IL-2 signalling. The claimed antibody binds to the epitopes: PHATFKAMA YKEGTM (42-56) and YQCVQGYRALH (150-160) on CD25. Antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof including such sequences can be used in pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment, in particular for treating cancer.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and therapeutic methods for activating an immune response in a patient in need thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the subject methods and compositions are able to antagonize the activity of VISTA, a naturally occurring “checkpoint” protein which contributes to immune tolerance, optionally in combination with an antagonist of a second checkpoint pathway such as PD-1. For example, such methods and compositions may be suitable for preventing and treating colon cancer or another cancer. An exemplary VISTA antagonist, specifically, an anti-VISTA antibody, is demonstrated herein to activate an immune response against cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, thereby conferring protective anti-tumor immunity which decreased tumor burden. Additionally, an additive benefit was observed when a VISTA antagonist was used in combination with a second checkpoint protein antagonist, specifically, an antibody against PD-1 ligand (PD-L1).
