The invention provides anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies and methods of using the same.

Adjuvant compositions, vaccines, constructs for preparing the adjuvant compositions and vaccines and methods of using the adjuvant compositions and vaccines to enhance immune responses in subjects are provided herein. In particular, a rapid antibody response to the vaccine including both IgG (in the circulation) and sIgA (mucosal secretory IgA) is elicited. The adjuvants and vaccines may be used for sub-cutaneous or mucosal administration enabling low cost, effective vaccination of subjects. A method of epitope mapping to rapidly identify antigenic epitopes is also provided.

The present disclosure provides nucleic acid carriers comprising targeting agents, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods of making and using the same.

The present invention provides multi-armed high MW polymers containing hydrophilic groups and one or more functional agents, and methods of preparing such polymers.

Composition and methods are disclosed for utilizing microaggregation of FAP-containing complexes to promote their fast internalization. This approach allows the uptake of cytotoxic cargo coupled to either FAP-Antibodies or FAP-liposome complexes by tumor bladder cells. Importantly, this approach is efficient even under serum-free conditions such as the ones found in the lumen of the bladder.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions comprising anti-CD74 and/or anti-HLA-DR antibodies for treatment of GVHD and other immune dysfunction diseases. In preferred embodiments, the anti-CD74 and/or anti-HLA-DR antibodies are effective to deplete antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. Most preferably, administration of the therapeutic compositions depletes all subsets of APCs, including mDCs, pDCs, B cells and monocytes, without significant depletion of T cells. In alternative embodiments, administration of the therapeutic compositions suppresses proliferation of allo-reactive T cells, while preserving cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific, CD8.sup.+ memory T cells. The compositions and methods provide a novel conditioning regimen for preventing aGVHD and/or treating chronic GVHD, without altering preexisting anti-viral immunity.

Compositions and methods for delivering a therapeutic protein to the central nervous system (CNS), in order to treat diseases and disorders that impair the CNS, such as treating lysosomal storage diseases are disclosed. Therapeutic proteins delivered via a therapeutically effective amount of a nucleotide composition encoding the therapeutic protein conjugated to a cell surface receptor-binding protein that crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB) are provided.

The present invention concerns methods for identifying, producing, and engineering binding molecule conjugates, and to the conjugates produced. In particular, the invention concerns Surrobody conjugates composed of an antibody heavy chain variable domain and a surrogate light chain, wherein the surrogate light chain and/or the antibody heavy chain variable domain is conjugated to a therapeutic or diagnostic agent.

The present disclosure provides nucleic acid carriers comprising targeting agents, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods of making and using the same.

This disclosure relates to homodimeric antibodies for use in treating cancer generally and to both homodimeric antibodies that bind human sperm protein 17 (Sp17) and homodimeric antibody immunoconjugates specifically. Such homodimeric antibodies display improved properties relative to monomeric antibodies, for example, because they can crosslink cells, improve cellular uptake, and/or carry greater payloads.
