The present disclosure relates to modified anti-PD-L1 polypeptides, compositions comprising modified anti-PD-L1 polypeptides, methods of making the same, and methods of using the modified anti-PD-L1 polypeptides for treatment of diseases. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to the treatment of cancer using the modified anti-PD-L1 polypeptides.

Novel antibodies, such as single domain antibodies (sdAbs), or antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind a transferrin are described. Compositions, methods and systems for increasing the half-life of a target protein in a serum using an antibody or fragment thereof against a transferrin are also described.

Aspects of the invention provide methods for harnessing the potential of proteins that occur naturally (e.g., in humans) and that have serious but finite toxicity. Aspects of the invention relate to a quantitative systems-biological and structural approach to design a class of chimeric proteins that avoid the toxicity of protein drugs while retaining their desired activities. In particular, chimeric proteins containing a variant form of a natural protein fused to a targeting moiety may be administered to a subject to target a signal (e.g., induction of apoptosis) to particular cells without having a generalized toxic effect in the subject.

The application relates to a conjugate comprising interleukin-22 (IL22) and an antibody molecule. The antibody molecule preferably binds an antigen associated with angiogenesis, such as the ED-A isoform of fibronectin. In particular, the application relates to the therapeutic use of such conjugates in the treatment of a disease/disorder, such as autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

A C—C chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) peptide analog that exhibits biased antagonism by binding to and inhibiting ligand-mediated signaling and chemotaxis while promoting the internalization and degradation of CCR3 is provided as is a method of using the peptide analog to treat, prevent, or ameliorate one or more symptoms of an eosinophil- or CCR3-mediated disease or condition.

The present invention provides compositions for targeting SAS1B positive cancer cells using immunotoxin technology and discloses that kidney and pancreatic cancer cells are SAS1B positive, but not normal kidney and pancreatic cells. The invention discloses that despite being expressed only in growing oocytes in females among normal tissues SAS1B is expressed in cancers of both men and women.

Methods for cancer treatment include administering to a cancer patient an anti-CD38 antibody-attenuated human IFN alpha-2b construct and lenalidomide or pomalidomide. Tumors that may be treated according to these methods include tumors which comprise CD-38 expressing tumor cells, including B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and acute lymphocytic leukemia.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising a conjugate of a cytokine and a tumor targeting moiety (TTM) and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein the cytokine is present in an amount which does not induce a negative feedback mechanism.

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.

The present disclosure relates to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) wherein one or more active agents are conjugated to an anti-B7-H3 antibody through a linker. The linker may comprise a unit that covalently links active agents to the antibody. The disclosure further relates to monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding fragments, variants, multimeric versions, or bispecifics thereof that specifically bind B7-H3, as well as methods of making and using these anti-B7-H3 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.
