ANTIBODIES
The present invention relates to antibodies binding to 5T4, including bispecific antibodies binding to 5T4 and CD3. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and use of the antibodies for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, in particular in cancer therapy.
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.
Compositions comprising antibodies to LINGO or fragments thereof
Endogenous LINGO-1 is a negative regulator for neuronal survival, axon regeneration, oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Molecules that block endogenous LINGO-1 function, such anti-LINGO-1 antibodies can be used as therapeutics for the treatment of neuron and oligodendrocyte dysfunction. The present invention provides antibodies specific for LINGO-1, and methods of using such antibodies as antagonists of endogenous LINGO-1 function. The invention further provides specific hybridoma and phage library-derived monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising these antibodies. The invention further provides methods of promoting oligodendrocyte survival and myelination in a vertebrate, comprising administering to a vertebrate in need of such treatment an effective amount of an anti-LINGO-1 antibody.
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 (1ISVD) 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.
HER3/HER2 BISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES BINDING TO THE BETA-HAIRPIN OF HER3 AND DOMAIN II OF HER2
The invention relates to HER3/HER2 bispecific antibodies binding to the beta-hairpin of HER3 and domain II of HER2, their preparation and use as medicament.
Bi-specific antibodies for enhanced tumor selectivity and inhibition and uses thereof
A heterodimeric bispecific immunoglobulin molecule includes a first Fab or scFv fragment which specifically binds to EGFR, and a second Fab or scFv fragment which specifically binds to c-MET, and an antibody hinge region, an antibody CH2 domain and an antibody CH3 domain including a hybrid protein-protein interaction interface domain. Each of the interaction interface domains is formed by an amino acid segment of the CH3 domain of a first member and an amino acid segment of the CH3 domain of a second member. The hybrid protein-protein interface domain of the first chain is interacting with the protein-protein-interface of the second chain by homodimerization of a corresponding amino acid segment of the same member of the immunoglobulin superfamily within interaction domains.
SUBCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION OF ANTI-CD74 ANTIBODY FOR SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
Disclosed are methods, compositions and uses of concentrated formulations of anti-CD74 antibody, of use for treating autoimmune diseases. In a specific non-limiting embodiment, the autoimmune disease is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In a preferred embodiment, the anti-CD74 antibody is milatuzumab (IMMU-115). The antibody is administered subcutaneously, preferably at a dosage of 250 mg once a week for four weeks. The subcutaneous administration of anti-CD74 antibody ameliorates the symptoms of autoimmune diseases, with only manageable side effects.
Drug conjugate comprising anti-CDH3 (P-cadherin) antibody
It is an object of the present invention to provide a drug conjugate comprising an anti-CDH3 antibody that efficiently kills cancer cells expressing CDH3. According to the present invention, there is provided an immune complex formed by binding an antibody against CDH3 or a fragment thereof having CDH3 binding ability to a chemotherapeutic agent.
Enhancing activity of CAR T cells by co-introducing a bispecific antibody
The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer in a human. The invention includes administering a T cell, genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), a bispecific antibody, or a combination thereof to a subject. The CAR and bispecific antibody of the invention can comprise a human antibody, a humanized antibody, or antigen-binding fragments thereof.
METHODS OF TREATING OCULAR CANCER USING ANTI-MET ANTIBODIES AND BISPECIFIC ANTIGEN BINDING MOLECULES THAT BIND MET
Provided herein are methods of treating ocular cancer such as uveal melanoma, orbital lymphoma, retinoblastoma, and medulloepithelioma using antibodies and bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind MET or antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising the antibodies or bispecific antigen-binding molecules. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprise a first and a second antigen-binding domain, wherein the first and second antigen-binding domains bind to two different epitopes of the extracellular domain of human MET. The ADCs comprise the antibodies or bispecific antigen-binding molecules provided herein linked to a cytotoxic agent, radionuclide, or other moiety. The antibodies and bispecific antigen-binding molecules are capable of blocking the interaction between human MET and its ligand HGF. A subject having ocular cancer, for example, an uveal melanoma expressing c-Met, can be treated by administering to the subject an antibody, a bispecific antigen-binding molecule, or an ADC thereof.
