The present invention provides random copolymers containing zwitterions and one or more functional agents, and methods of preparing such random copolymers.

The present invention provides engineered polypeptide conjugates (e.g., antibody-drug-conjugates) comprising specific acyl donor glutamine-containing tags and amine donor agents. The invention also provides methods of making such engineered polypeptide conjugates using transglutaminase and methods of using thereof.

This disclosure provides novel isoquinolidinobenzodiazepines. These compounds can also be incorporated into antibody-drug conjugates.

Masking domains and masked antibodies comprising masking domains are provided. In some embodiments, masked antibodies comprising the masking domains demonstrate minimal aggregation and low potential for immunogenicity. In various embodiments, masked antibodies comprising the masking domains may be used in therapeutic treatment.

This disclosure provides novel isoquinolidinobenzodiazepines. These compounds can also be incorporated into antibody-drug conjugates.

The present disclosure relates to antibodies and antibody conjugates, for instance antibody drug conjugates, with binding specificity for receptor tyrosine kinase orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) and its isoforms and homologs, and compositions comprising the antibodies or antibody conjugates, including pharmaceutical compositions. Also provided are methods of producing the antibodies and antibody conjugates and compositions thereof as well as methods of using the antibodies and antibody conjugates and compositions thereof, such as in therapeutic and diagnostic methods.

Disclosed are a recombinant fusion antibody, and an antibody-drug conjugate and use thereof. The recombinant fusion antibody includes an antibody, at least one lysosome-targeting peptide, and at least one linker peptide, wherein the antibody is fused with the lysosome-targeting peptide to form the recombinant fusion antibody via the linker peptide; wherein the lysosome-targeting peptide is at least one selected from the group consisting of a lysosome-sorting signal peptide from a Golgi-localized, -adaptin ear-containing, ARF-binding protein (GGA), a lysosome-sorting signal peptide from a mannose 6-phosphate receptor (MPR), a lysosome-sorting signal peptide from a lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP), and a variant; wherein the variant is a peptide with one or more amino acids substituted, deleted, and/or added when aligned with the lysosome-sorting signal peptide from a GGA, a MPR or a LAMP. Compared with the original antibody, the internalization and lysosomal trafficking ability of the recombinant fusion antibody are significantly improved.

The present disclosure relates to antibodies and antibody conjugates, for instance antibody drug conjugates, with binding specificity for receptor tyrosine kinase orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) and its isoforms and homologs, and compositions comprising the antibodies or antibody conjugates, including pharmaceutical compositions. Also provided are methods of producing the antibodies and antibody conjugates and compositions thereof as well as methods of using the antibodies and antibody conjugates and compositions thereof, such as in therapeutic and diagnostic methods.

Targeted therapeutics for the treatment of cancers expressing FOLR1, MEGF10, HPSE2, KLRF2, PCDH19, and/or FRAS1 are described. The targeted therapeutics can include a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressed by an immune cell or an antibody-targeted therapeutic. The targeted therapeutics can be used to treat a variety of cancers including solid tumors and blood cancers, such as CBFA2T3-GLIS2 acute myeloid leukemia (C/G AML).

Aptamers consisting of a single stranded nucleic acids having 100 nucleotides or less that specifically binds to tumor initiating cancer cells are described. The aptamers can be identified by screening a large pool of randomly generated aptamers to obtain a discrete set of aptamers that specifically bind to tumor initiating cancer cells, such as those found in brain cancer or glioblastoma. The aptamers can also be linked or complexed with anticancer agents or imaging agents for use in therapy or diagnosis.
