The present disclosure provides scaffolds and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising a stimulator of interferon genes (STING). The present disclosure also provides uses of the ADCs in treatment, e.g., treatment of cancer.

Described herein are protein-payload conjugates and compositions thereof that are useful, for example, for target-specific delivery of therapeutic and/or imaging agent moieties. In certain embodiments, provided are specific and efficient methods for producing protein-payload constructs (e.g., antibody-drug conjugates) utilizing a combination of transglutaminase and Diels-Alder techniques. Antibody-drug conjugates and compositions which comprise glutaminyl-modified antibodies, Diels-Alder adducts, and reactive payloads and are provided.

The present disclosure provides for antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates, methods of preparation thereof, and methods of use thereof. Also provided are related compounds, compositions and kits.

Disclosed are new anti-HER2 ADCs conjugated to camptothecin derivatives as toxins for therapeutic use. The antitumor effects of the ADCs of Formula (PL-A) (e.g., compounds MB-2a and MB-3a (trastuzumab meditecan)) render these compounds useful for treating cell proliferative diseases such as cancers.

Disclosed is a method for production of a fusion protein in which an antibody and a lysosomal enzyme are fused. The method comprises; (a) a step of culturing mammalian cells producing the fusion protein in a serum-free medium to let the mammalian cells secrete the fusion protein in the culture medium, (b) a step of collecting culture supernatant by removing the mammalian cells from the culture medium, and (c) a step of purifying the fusion protein from the culture supernatant by using a column chromatography employing as a solid phase a material to which a substance having affinity for the fusion protein has been bound, a column chromatography employing as a solid phase a material having affinity for the phosphate group, and a size exclusion column chromatography.

Described are tetravalent, bispecific EGFR/CD16A antigen-binding proteins for engaging NK-cells towards EGFR-positive cells. EGFR/CD16A antigen-binding proteins with different pharmacokinetic (PK) properties are described. Further described is the use of bispecific EGFR/CD16A antigen-binding proteins for the treatment of an EGFR-positive malignancy, such as EGFR-positive tumors.
