The disclosure relates to fusion proteins, methods of making fusion proteins, and methods of using fusion proteins, wherein the fusion proteins comprise a functional single-domain antibody (sdAb) or a functional variant thereof and a cytosine deaminase (CD) protein or a functional variant thereof, optionally connected via a peptide linker. The fusion proteins of the disclosure also have CD activity. The disclosure also relates to pharmaceutical compositions or formulations comprising such fusion proteins and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, as well as medical uses of these fusion proteins.

Disclosed herein are anti-ERB B2/NEU antibodies conjugated with maytansinoid drugs for targeted delivery to disease tissues. Methods relating to the preparation and uses of such drug conjugates to treat ERB B2/NEU positive cells in cancers are provided.

Methods of generating conditionally active proteins that target senescent cells and which are conditionally active in an extracellular environment of a senescent cell. The methods include discovery methods using libraries of evolved proteins and assays employing physiological concentrations of components of bodily fluids. Also disclosed are conditionally active proteins for killing or removing senescent cells, pharmaceutical compositions employing these conditionally active proteins and methods for treatment of age-related diseases, conditions or disorders using same. The conditionally active proteins may be further evolved, conjugated to other molecules, masked, reduced in activity by attaching a cleavable moiety.

The present invention relates to antibodies having specificity to nectin-4 and uses thereof.

Subject matter of the invention are antibody-cytokine fusion proteins having proapoptotic and immune modulating properties, but wherein the cytokine moiety a priori has a bioactivity which is very low or restricted to certain receptor subtypes. These reagent exert their full biological activity via the corresponding cytokine receptor(s) only after antibody-mediated binding of the fusion protein to a specific cell membrane-expressed target molecule. By suitable choice of the antibody specificity, the cytokine activity is directed to the tissue, e.g. tumour tissue, to be treated, and a therapeutic agent can be produced being specifically designed/optimised for the respective indication/tumour entity.
