SAPONIN CONJUGATED TO EPITOPE-BINDING PROTEINS
The invention relates to a therapeutic combination, comprising a first proteinaceous molecule comprising a first binding site for binding to a first epitope of a first cell-surface molecule, the first proteinaceous molecule provided with at least one saponin covalently bound to an amino-acid residue of said first proteinaceous molecule, and comprising a second pharmaceutical composition comprising a second proteinaceous molecule different from the first proteinaceous molecule, the second proteinaceous molecule comprising a second binding site for binding to a second epitope of a second cell-surface molecule different from the first cell-surface molecule, and comprising an effector moiety, wherein the second epitope is different from the first epitope. An aspect of the invention is a composition comprising the first proteinaceous molecule and the second proteinaceous molecule of the invention. The invention also relates to an antibody-drug conjugate comprising the first proteinaceous molecule of the invention and an effector moiety. An aspect of the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the composition or the antibody-drug conjugate of the invention, and optionally further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The invention also relates to the therapeutic combination or the composition or the antibody-drug conjugate or the pharmaceutical composition of the invention, for use as a medicament. The invention also relates to the therapeutic combination of the invention for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of a cancer.
ANTIBODIES SPECIFIC FOR IL-17A FUSED TO HYALURONAN BINDING PEPTIDE TAGS
The present disclosure relates to antibodies and proteins comprising an antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically bind to the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17A and a peptide tag that binds hyaluronan (HA). The disclosure more specifically relates to specific antibodies and proteins that are IL-17A antagonists (inhibit the activities of IL-17A and IL-17AF) and are capable of inhibiting IL-17A induced cytokine production in in vitro assays, and having an inhibitory effect in an antigen-induced arthritis model in vivo. The disclosure further relates to compositions and methods of use for said antibodies and proteins to treat pathological disorders that can be treated by inhibiting IL-17A or IL17AF mediated activity, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus nephritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma or cystic fibrosis or other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
BISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES THAT NEUTRALIZE BOTH TNF-ALPHA AND IL-6: NOVEL THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
The present invention concerns compositions and methods of use of bispecific antibodies comprising at least one anti-TNF-α antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof and at least one anti-IL-6 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Preferably, the bispecific antibody is in the form of a DNL® complex. The anti-TNF-α or anti-IL-6 antibodies may comprise specific CDR sequences disclosed herein. The compositions and methods are of use to treat autoimmune disease, immune system dysfunction or inflammatory disease, as disclosed herein.
COMPOSITIONS OF PROTEIN COMPLEXES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Provided herein are protein complexes comprising a sensor domain and a therapeutic domain linked by a linker, and methods of use thereof. In aspects of the present disclosure, activity of the therapeutic domain comprises a dependence on sensor domain binding to target markers.
Carrier-binding agent compositions and methods of making and using the same
Described herein are compositions of binding agents and carrier proteins, and optionally at least one therapeutic agent, and methods of making and using the same, in particular, as a cancer therapeutic. Also described are lyophilized compositions of binding agents and carrier proteins, and optionally at least one therapeutic agent, and methods of making and using the same, in particular, as a cancer therapeutic.
Soluble Complement Receptor Type 1 Variant Conjugates and Uses Thereof
A soluble complement receptor type 1 (sCR1) conjugate comprising a sCR1 variant and a) a protein comprising an antigen binding domain that binds to a target and inhibits signaling by or via the target; orb) a protein comprising an antigen binding domain that binds to a blood coagulation factor.
Dual Variable Domain Immunoglobulins and Uses Thereof
Engineered multivalent and multispecific binding proteins, methods of making, and their uses in the prevention, diagnosis, and/or treatment of disease are provided.
ANTI-TNF ALPHA ANTIBODIES WITH PH-DEPENDEND ANTIGEN BINDING FOR IMPROVED TARGET CLEARENCE
The invention relates to anti-TNFa antibodies which are engineered to exhibit a pH-sensitive antigen binding. The invention is preferably directed to anti-TNFa antibody adalimumab (Humira®) or biologically active variants and fragments thereof, wherein the original adalimumab antibody or variant or fragment thereof is engineered by modifications of amino acid sequence within the variable regions. Specifically, the invention relates to adalimumab or biologically active variants or fragments thereof, wherein the CDR domains are modified by replacing one or more amino acid residues by histidine residues.
Core constructs and their uses in configuring pharmaceutical molecules
The present disclosure provides various core constructs. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the core construct can be used to configure pharmaceutical molecules. In particular, the core construct may be conjugated with a functional element via the click chemistry.
Anti-VEGF antibodies and their uses
The present disclosure relates to antibodies directed to vascular endothelial growth factor (“VEGF”) and uses of such antibodies, for example to treat diseases associated with the activity and/or overproduction of VEGF.
