A subject of the present invention is to provide an anti AQP3 antibody specifically recognizing the extracellular domain of aquaporin 3 (AQP3), which is one type of a water channel protein. By selecting a monoclonal antibody which specifically binds to an oligopeptide included in loop C as one of the extracellular domains of AQP3, an anti AQP3 antibody that is desired in the present invention is provided. An anti AQP3 monoclonal antibody of the present invention can directly bind, from the outside of a cell, to AQP3 present in a cell membrane. Furthermore, as an anti AQP3 monoclonal antibody of the present invention can have an inhibitory activity, the function of permeating a low molecular weight molecule or the like, which is carried by AQP3, can be suppressed.

The invention generally relates to methods and compositions for the prediction of therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatments and the prognosis of cancer. The invention discloses markers that are associated with favorable and unfavorable outcomes, respectively, in certain cancer treatments and are useful as prognostic markers for cancer. Methods involving these markers are disclosed for predicting cancer therapy benefit and prognosing clinical outcome for cancer patients.

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

The present invention relates to a “one-pot process” for preparing intermediate of antibody-drug conjugate. The preparation process provided by the present invention is simple in operation, and needs no such steps like concentration, washing and filtration of the intermediate reaction liquid, disposal of the organic waste liquid, and packaging and storage of the intermediate. The entire reaction system comprises only one separation and purification treatment, saving costs for labor, equipment, venues, raw materials, etc., and greatly reducing the pollution to the environment. In addition, the “one-pot process” for preparing intermediate of antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention produces the intermediate of antibody-drug conjugate with higher yield. The “one-pot process” for preparing intermediate of antibody-drug conjugate provided by the present invention is more suitable for scale-up production.

Disclosed are a GITR-targeting antibody, a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. In particular, disclosed is a novel GITR-targeting chimeric antibody or a fully humanized monoclonal antibody. Also disclosed is a method for preparing the monoclonal antibody. The monoclonal antibody of the present invention can bind to a GITR antigen with a high specificity, and has a very high affinity and a significant anti-tumor activity or the like.

A retinoic acid modified lysosome targeting chimera (LYTAC) molecule, a preparation method and applications thereof are provided. A structural formula of the retinoic acid modified LYTAC molecule is shown as following Formula I, in which, n represents a molecular weight of polyethylene glycol (PEG), n is in a range of 60 to 5000, R is one of an antibody, a polypeptide and a micromolecule compound targeting a targeted protein. The retinoic acid modified LYTAC molecule can be applied to targeted protein degradation and preparation of tumor cell activity inhibitors. Retinoic acid has high biosafety, is easy to obtain and modify, can be coupled with any antibody, polypeptide or micromolecule that targets the binding protein receptor to realize lysosomal degradation of extracellular or membrane proteins, can be used to prepare tumor cell activity inhibitors and to treat tumors, inflammation and other diseases, and has a broad application prospect.

The present invention provides binding molecules (e.g. antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof) against FRα and related antibody-drug conjugates, along with pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the same. Methods for use of said binding molecules and related antibody-drug conjugates in the treatment of cancer are also provided.

Compositions comprising clathrin nanoparticles and methods for treating neurological-associated disorders.

Described herein are protein steroid conjugates that are useful, for example, for the target-specific delivery of glucocorticoids (GCs) to cells.

The present invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that bind to the CD160-TM isoform. The inventors developed new monoclonal antibodies which bind to the CD160-TM isoform but dot not bind to the CD160 GPI-anchored isoform not to the CD160 soluble isoform. In particular, the antibodies of the present invention are suitable for amplifying NK cell activation and therefore cytotoxic functions NK cells.
