Antibody Molecules and Peptide Delivery Systems for Use in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders
The present invention relates to antibody molecules and peptide delivery systems for use in the treatment and management of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. In particular, the antibody molecules preferentially bind oligomeric forms of beta-amyloid peptide, in single domain format, and the peptide delivery systems facilitate specific transport of such antibody molecules, as well as other cargo molecules, across the blood-brain barrier. The invention also relates to constructs of the antibody molecules and the delivery peptides, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising effective amounts of the antibody molecules, delivery peptides, and/or their constructs, including humanized versions of the antibody molecules and constructs. The invention further relates to methods of making these products and pharmaceutical compositions thereof; and methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions in treating or preventing Alzheimer's and related disorders, such as those involving accumulation of beta-amyloid peptide or other peptides that aggregate in the brain; as well as to methods and kits for diagnosing these disorders.
METHODS OF TREATING DISEASES
This invention generally relates to methods for the treatment of respiratory diseases, such as asthma, utilizing anti-IL-23A antibodies.
ADJUVANT COMPOSITION CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE INFLUENZA VIRUS NEUTRALIZING AND BINDING MOLECULE AND VACCINE COMPOSITION CONTAINING SAME
This invention relates to an adjuvant composition containing at least one binding molecule for neutralizing influenza virus and a vaccine composition containing the same. The composition containing at least one binding molecule for neutralizing influenza virus is capable of increasing the effects of a vaccine, and can thus be used as an adjuvant, which increases an immune response upon vaccine administration, and is very useful in the prevention of diseases caused by viruses.
TREATMENT OF CANCER WITH ANTI-LAP MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES
Described herein are compositions and methods relating to LAP-binding agents, including, for example, anti-LAP antibodies, and to their use in methods of treatment of cancer. LAP-binding agents affected both systemic and intra-tumor immunity and were shown effective to treat a broad spectrum of cancer types.
Biomarkers for cancer immunotherapy outcomes
Provided herein, inter alia, are improved methods and systems of determining immunotherapy response in subjects prior and during treatment. Provided herein are methods of detecting gene expression in T cells and in monocytes as well as measuring relative abundance of particular immune cell populations and determining responsiveness to anticancer immunotherapy.

Methods and Compositions for the Treatment of Diseases and Disorders
Compositions and methods for the treatment of a disease or disorder are disclosed.
Method of treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI) associate with COVID-19 by administering an anti-LIGHT antibody
The present disclosure relates to methods of detecting free (active) LIGHT in biological samples to diagnose conditions associated with elevated free LIGHT, as well as to predict the effectiveness of anti-LIGHT therapies. The disclosure also relates to treating such conditions with anti-LIGHT antibodies. Conditions include acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), optionally wherein the ALI and ARDS are associated with viral infection, including coronavirus infection. Conditions also include Crohn's Disease or an inflammatory condition associated with Crohn's Disease.
Methods of treating severe insulin resistance by interfering with glucagon receptor signaling
Provided herein are methods of treating a patient with severe insulin resistance. The methods comprise administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutic amount of a GCG/GCGR signaling pathway inhibitor, such that blood glucose or beta-hydroxybutyrate levels are lowered or that the severe insulin resistance is mediated, or a condition or disease characterized by severe insulin resistance is mediated, or at least one symptom or complication associated with the condition or disease is alleviated or reduced in severity. The GCG/GCGR signaling pathway inhibitor can be a small molecule inhibitor of the signaling pathway, an antisense inhibitor of the signaling pathway, a GCG neutralizing monoclonal antibody, a GCGR antagonist, a peptide inhibitor of the signaling pathway, a DARPin, a Spiegelmer, an aptamer, engineered Fn type-III domains, etc. The therapeutic methods are useful for treating a human suffering from severe insulin resistance.
Vaccine compositions and methods of using the same
This invention is directed to vaccine compositions and methods of using the same to prevent infection.
