Cysteine linked nanobody dimers
The present invention relates to dimers comprising a first polypeptide and a second polypeptide, wherein each of said first and second polypeptide comprises at least one immunoglobulin single variable domain (ISVD) and a C-terminal extension comprising a cysteine moiety (preferably at the C-terminus), wherein said first polypeptide and said second polypeptide are covalently linked via a disulfide bond between the cysteine moiety of said first polypeptide and the cysteine moiety of said second polypeptide, in which the dimer outperformed the benchmark constructs, e.g. cognate multivalent and multispecific constructs, in various assays. The present invention provides methods for making the dimers of the invention.
METHOD FOR DETECTING SOLUBLE OLIGOMERIC AMYLOID BETA
A method for detecting soluble oligomeric amyloid in a subject is provided.
Treatment and Prophylaxis of Amyloidosis
Methods useful for effecting prophylaxis or treatment of amyloidosis, including AA Amyloidosis and AL amyloidosis, by administering peptides comprising neoepitopes, such as AA fragments from a C-terminal region of AA, and antibodies specific for neoepitopes of aggregated amyloid proteins, for example, antibodies specific for the C-terminal region of AA fibrils. Antibodies for inhibition of formation and/or increasing clearance of amyloid deposits in a patient thus effecting prophylaxis or treating amyloid disease.
GRP78 NANOBODIES
Provided are nanobodies that recognize human cell surface GRP78 protein, pharmaceutical compositions that include the nanobodies, and uses thereof.
Antibodies to Amyloid Beta
The disclosure pertains to antibodies that bind A-beta oligomers and methods of making and using said antibodies. Also provided are chimeric or humanized antibodies, including antibodies having CDRs in Table 2 and/or having a sequence as set forth in Table 4B or a sequence with at least 50% sequence identity thereto optionally wherein the CDR amino acid sequences are as set for forth in SEQ ID Nos: 74-79. Also provided are methods and uses thereof as well as kits comprising said antibodies.
CD33 antibodies and methods of using the same to treat cancer
The present disclosure relates generally to immunoglobulin-related compositions (e.g., antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof) that can bind to the CDS 3 protein. The antibodies of the present technology are useful in methods for detecting and treating Alzheimer's disease or a CDS 3-associated cancer in a subject in need thereof.
Compositions and methods for diagnosis of cardiovascular disease
Provided herein are new diagnostic biomarkers for cardiovascular disease, antibodies for detecting said diagnostic biomarkers, and immunoassays, imaging agents, and therapeutics based therefrom.
ANTI-NUCLEOPHOSMIN 1 ANTIBODY AND ANTIBODY CONJUGATE COMBINATION THERAPIES
Provided herein are antibodies specific for nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), which are capable of binding to nucleophosmin 1 located on the surface of cells, as well as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising such antibodies. Also provided herein are methods of treating cancers in which NPM1 is expressed on the surface of cancer cells, by administering to a subject an NPM1-binding antibody or antibody conjugate described herein and a chemotherapeutic drug.
THERAPEUTIC AGENTS AND USES THEREOF
The present application provides an agent comprising or consisting of a binding moiety with specificity for a kallikrein protein (for example, PSA or hK2) for use in the treatment of prostate cancer, and a method for the treatment of prostate cancer in a patient, the method comprising the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of an agent comprising or consisting of a binding moiety with specificity for a kallikrein protein to the patient.
LEAKY JOINT SYNDROME DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENTS
Disclosed are methods for detecting extracapsular synovial fluid or components thereof as a marker for initiation of processes that lead to degenerative joint disease in a subject.
