Anti-PD-L1 antibodies are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies, and methods of using such antibodies to restore T-cell function in T-cells exhibiting T-cell exhaustion or T-cell anergy.

This invention relates generally to bifunctional molecules including (a) a TGFβRII or fragment thereof capable of binding TGFβ and (b) an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that binds to an immune checkpoint protein, such as Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1), uses of such molecules (e.g., for treating cancer), and methods of making such molecules.

Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen binding portions thereof, that bind to glucocorticoid-inducible TNF receptor (GITR). Also provided are uses of these proteins in therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of cancer. Further provided are cells that produce the antibodies, polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies, and vectors comprising the polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies.

The invention provides compositions and methods for treating CEA-positive cancers. The method comprising administering a PD-1 axis binding antagonist and a bispecific antibody that targets CEA and CD3.

The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical formulations of antibodies. Specifically, the present invention relates to a stable liquid antibody formulation and its pharmaceutical preparation and use. This invention is exemplified by an aqueous formulation of an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody.

The present invention relates to methods for upregulating immune responses using combinations of anti-RGMb and anti-PD-1 agents.

The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to Mer Tyrosine Kinase (MERTK) (e.g., human MERTK, or both human and mouse MERTK) and compositions comprising such antibodies, wherein said antibody agonizes MERTK signaling on endothelial cells. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating cancer, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to MERTK and agonizes MERTK signaling on endothelial cells.

The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to Mer Tyrosine Kinase (MERTK) (e.g., human MERTK, or both human and mouse MERTK) and compositions comprising such antibodies, wherein said antibody agonizes MERTK signaling on endothelial cells. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating cancer, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to MERTK and agonizes MERTK signaling on endothelial cells.

Provided are methods for treating cancer using local administration of certain CpG oligonucleotides (CpG ODN) and systemic administration of a checkpoint inhibitor such as an anti-PD-1 antibody, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, and/or an anti-CTLA-4 antibody. In preferred embodiments, the CpG ODN are selected based on their propensity to induce high amounts of interferon alpha (IFN-α) and T-cell activation relative to interleukin-10 (IL-10) and B-cell activation. In certain embodiments, the methods further include pretreatment with radiotherapy, to potentiate the combination immunotherapy.

Described herein are antibody formulations including a therapeutic antibody at a concentration of at least 20 mg/ml, methods for optimizing and producing such antibody formulations, and methods of using such antibody formulations. Antibody formulations including a therapeutic antibody at a concentration of at least about 20 mg/mL are described herein. For example, described are high concentration solutions and formulations of aglycosylated antibod(ies), methods of making such formulations, and methods for using such formulations. The described formulations, when solutions, exhibit reduced viscosity and good stability.
