An antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment of same, specifically binding to a BCMA, a nucleic acid encoding same, an expression vector and an expression cell thereof, a preparation method therefor, a pharmaceutical composition thereof, and the use thereof in treating a disease, for example, the use thereof in treating a tumour.

The present invention is directed to therapeutic methods and compositions, especially subcutaneous and intravenous composition using antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for IL-6 to prevent or treat cachexia, fever, weakness and/or fatigue in a patient in need thereof. In preferred embodiments, the anti-IL-6 antibodies will be humanized and/or will be aglycosylated. Also, in preferred embodiments these patients will comprise those exhibiting (or at risk of developing) an elevated serum C-reactive protein level. In another preferred embodiment, the patient's survivability or quality of life will preferably be improved.

The present invention is directed to therapeutic methods and compositions, especially subcutaneous and intravenous composition using antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for IL-6 to prevent or treat cachexia, fever, weakness and/or fatigue in a patient in need thereof. In preferred embodiments, the anti-IL-6 antibodies will be humanized and/or will be aglycosylated. Also, in preferred embodiments these patients will comprise those exhibiting (or at risk of developing) an elevated serum C-reactive protein level. In another preferred embodiment, the patient's survivability or quality of life will preferably be improved.

The present invention is directed to therapeutic methods using IL-6 antagonists such as an Ab1 antibody or antibody fragment having binding specificity for IL-6 to prevent or treat disease or to improve survivability or quality of life of a patient in need thereof. In preferred embodiments these patients will comprise those exhibiting (or at risk of developing) an elevated serum C-reactive protein level, reduced serum albumin level, elevated D-dimer or other coagulation cascade related protein(s), cachexia, fever, weakness and/or fatigue prior to treatment. The subject therapies also may include the administration of other actives such as chemotherapeutics, anti-coagulants, statins, and others.

The present invention provides agents comprising or consisting of a binding moiety with specificity for interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) for use in inducing cell death and/or inhibiting the growth and/or proliferation of cells associated with a solid tumour, wherein the cells express IL1RAP. A related aspect of the invention provides agents comprising or consisting of a binding moiety with specificity for interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) for use in detecting pathological cells associated with a solid tumour, wherein the cells express IL1RAP. Further provided are pharmacological compositions comprising the agents of the invention and methods of using the same.

Anti-CD90 antibodies, binding fragments, and uses thereof are described. The provided antibodies and binding fragments can be used to isolate CD90 cells or to target such cells ex vivo or in vivo for a research, a diagnostic, or a therapeutic purpose. Anti-CD90 antibodies and binding fragments thereof can also be used in engineered formats to create antibody conjugates or within a recombinant protein to pseudotype viral vectors.

It relates to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that is mono-or multi-specific to ephrin type-A receptor 10 (EphA 10). It also relates to a pharmaceutical composition, a method for treating and/or preventing diseases and/or disorders caused by EphA 10 in a subject in need. and a method for detecting EphA 10 in a sample.
