As explained hereinbefore, the C12orf59 gene of the present invention suppresses cancer cell invasion and inhibits cancer cell survivability, and the over expression of C12orf59 protein or a fragment thereof inhibits cancer cell invasion, so that C12orf59 gene or a fragment thereof not only can be effectively used for the pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating cancer but also can be used as a clinical marker for screening a cancer treatment agent candidate, for diagnosing various cancers or for predicting pathological stage. In addition, the C12orf59 gene or a fragment thereof of the present invention can be used for the method for preventing and treating cancer and for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating cancer.

Cysteine engineered antibodies comprising a free cysteine amino acid in the heavy chain or light chain are prepared by mutagenizing a nucleic acid sequence of a parent antibody and replacing one or more amino acid residues by cysteine to encode the cysteine engineered antibody; expressing the cysteine engineered antibody; and isolating the cysteine engineered antibody. Certain highly reactive cysteine engineered antibodies were identified by the PHESELECTOR assay. Isolated cysteine engineered antibodies may be covalently attached to a capture label, a detection label, a drug moiety, or a solid support.

The present invention relates to C5 binding polypeptides, comprising a C5 binding motif, BM, which motif consists of an amino acid sequence selected from i) EX.sub.2X.sub.3X.sub.4A X.sub.6 X.sub.7EID X.sub.11LPNL X.sub.16X.sub.17X.sub.18QW X.sub.21AFIX.sub.25X.sub.26LX.sub.28D, and ii) an amino acid sequence which has at least 86% identity to the sequence defined in i), wherein the polypeptide binds to C5. The present invention moreover relates to C5 binding polypeptides for use in therapy, such as for use in treatment of a C5 related condition, and to methods of treatment.

Methods of administering immunoconjugates that bind to CD37 (e.g., IMGN529) in combination with antibodies that bind to CD20 are provided. The methods comprise administering an anti-CD37 immunoconjugate (e.g., IMGN529) and an anti-CD20 antibody to a person in need thereof, for example, a cancer patient.

The present invention provides compounds, compositions, and methods for detecting, diagnosing and treating cancers such as glioblastoma multiforme.

Provided herein are a preparation method and use of an anti-MET-and-RON bispecific antibody and an antibody-drug conjugate thereof. The anti-MET-and-RON bispecific antibody includes an anti-MET antibody fragment and an anti-RON antibody fragment which are linked to each other through a specific chemical “knobs-into-holes” structure.

Antibodies that bind SARS-CoV spike protein, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and methods of using same for treating or preventing conditions associated with SARS or COVID-19 and for detecting SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2.

The present disclosure relates to antibodies that specifically bind a novel epitope on the AxI protein. Also disclosed are methods for the production and use of the anti-Axl antibodies.

The present invention relates to therapeutic ADCs comprising SN-38 attached to an anti-Trop-2 antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment, more particularly sacituzumab govitecan. The ADC is administered to a subject with a Trop-2 positive cancer that is resistant to or relapsed from prior treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor. The therapy is effective to treat cancers that are resistant to checkpoint inhibitors.

The present invention generally relates to compounds comprising antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, polypeptides, and immunoconjugates that bind to TROP2 (TACSTD2). The present invention also relates to methods of using such TROP2-binding molecules for diagnosing and treating diseases, such as malignancies.
