The present invention provides heavy chain immunoglobulins of the VHH type or fragment thereof having affinity for a target antigen of interest, including glycoprotein D2 (gD2) of HSV-2 or antigen thereof, and for envelope proteins of HIV-1 or an antigen thereof linked to Pseudomonas exotoxin A or functional fragments thereof. Also included are multimeric forms of the immunoglobulins and their use in the prevention and/or treatment of HSV2 and/or HIV-1.

The present invention provides a composite comprising a novel antibody and at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid phase support and a labeled substance. The antibody consists of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 08, and is capable of binding to an intranuclear protein of an influenza virus type A. The influenza virus type A is at least one selected from the group consisting of H1N1, H2N2, H3N2, and H7N9. The antibody is bound to the at least one selected from the group consisting of the solid phase support and the labeled substance. The present invention also provides a detection device and a detection method using the composite.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides antibodies that mimic TCR recognition of HPV-derived epitopes presented by HLA class I molecules, antigen-recognizing receptors that target HPV-derived epitopes presented by HLA class I molecules, and methods of using such antibodies.

Anti-EBV gH antibodies, anti-EBV gL antibodies, anti-EBV gH/gL antibodies, and compositions of matter useful for the detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of Epstein Barr Virus infection in humans, and methods of using those compositions of matter for the same.

The invention provides therapeutic humanized anti-HERV-K antibodies, CAR, or a fusion thereof consisting of a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) FOR CD3 and CDS, a DNA-encoded BiTE (DBiTE), or an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The invention also relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer peptides bound to molecules of the MHC, or peptides as such, which can also be targets of antibodies and other binding molecules.

The invention relates to cancer therapeutics, in particular, the system of making cancer cells more susceptible to effector cells by introduction of cellular therapy targets into the cancer cells.

The present invention relates to stabilized IgG4 antibodies, to methods of producing such antibodies and to uses of such antibodies as a medicament. In a main aspect, the invention relates to a stabilized IgG4 antibody, comprising a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein said heavy chain comprises a human IgG4 constant region having a substitution of the Arg residue at position (409), the Phe residue at position (405) or the Lys residue at position (370).

The present invention relates to methods of producing microbubble drug conjugates, viral gene therapy microbubble drug conjugates, and disease-targeting microbubbles, for clinical and preclinical ultrasound-mediated therapeutic and diagnostic applications. It includes methods to produce viral vector gene therapy microbubble drug conjugates with antibody linkers conjugated to lipid shelled microbubbles that both bind to and neutralize viral vectors such that the viral gene therapy can transduce and effect permanent genetic changes only after ultrasound is used to disassociate the viral gene therapy from microbubbles at diseased regions of the body.

According to embodiments, at least one polypeptide comprising at least one antiviral single domain antibody and their methods of use in antiviral treatment are provided. More specifically, embodiments provide at least one polypeptide having at least one anti-viral single domain antibody (e.g. anti-Hepatitis B Virus) for targeting a guanine-rich region of the viral DNA, inhibiting transcription of the viral DNA.

Provided are methods for manufacturing a conjugate containing a phthalocyanine dye, including methods that include one or more steps of preparing or producing the conjugate, formulating the conjugate and packaging the conjugate. In some aspects, the manufacturing methods result in the generation of a stable conjugate. Also provided are stable phthalocyanine dye conjugates, compositions and articles of manufacture containing the stable conjugates, and methods for their administration to subjects for photoimmunotherapy. In some embodiments, the phthalocyanine dye conjugates are conjugated to a targeting molecule, such as an antibody, that targets the conjugate to a cell or pathogen, such as by binding to a cell surface protein.
