The present invention describes immunogenic compositions containing immunogenic polypeptides of Sapovirus, including immunogenic compositions containing antigens other than Sapovirus antigens, including antigens that may be used in immunization against pathogens that cause diarrheal diseases. Methods of eliciting an immune response with the immunogenic compositions as disclosed and methods of treating a Sapovirus infection are also described.

The invention features methods for preventing or treating CGRP associated disorders such as vasomotor symptoms and/or headaches (e.g., migraine, cluster headache, and tension headache) by administering an anti-CGRP antagonist antibody. Compositions for use in the disclosed methods are also provided. Antagonist antibody G1 and antibodies derived from G1 directed to CGRP are also described.

Disclosed are a novel therapeutic means effective and practical against cancer, and a novel substance useful as such a therapeutic means. Provided are novel peptides derived from a partial region of HMGN1, HMGN2, HMGN4 or HMGN5, and anti-cancer agents and anti-cancer effect enhancers containing the peptide as an active ingredient. The peptide of the present invention has an anti-tumor effect even independently, and exerts a remarkably excellent anti-tumor effect particularly when used in combination with an immune checkpoint regulator, or an anti-CD4 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.

Provided in the present invention are a 4-1BB antibody and a preparation method and the use thereof. In particular, provided in the present invention are a 4-1BB antibody, which has high affinity to 4-1BB protein, can effectively activate the signal downstream of the 4-1BB and significantly increase expression quantities of IFN-γ and IL-2 in human mixed lymphocytes or T lymphocytes, and can be used to treat cancers and autoimmune diseases.

The present disclosure provides methods, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits for treating cancer or autoimmune disease in patients in need thereof. The methods comprise administering to a patient in need a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) activating enzyme (SAE) inhibitor, such as [(1R,2S,4R)-4-{[5-({4-[(1R)-7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1- yl]-5-methyl-2-thienyl}carbonyl)pyrimidin-4-yl]amino}-2-hydroxy-cyclopentyl]methyl sulfamate (Compound I-263a) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, in combination with one or more anti-CD38 antibodies. Also provided are medicaments for use in treating cancer or autoimmune disease.

Provided are dosing regimens of polyomavirus neutralizing antibodies and related methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating polyomavirus infections.

An objective of the present invention is to provide methods for facilitating antigen-binding molecule-mediated antigen uptake into cells, methods for facilitating the reduction of antigen concentration in plasma, methods for increasing the number of antigens to which a single antigen-binding molecule can bind, methods for improving pharmacokinetics of antigen-binding molecules, antigen-binding molecules improved for facilitated antigen uptake into cells, antigen-binding molecules capable of facilitating the reduction of antigen concentration in plasma, antigen-binding molecules capable of repeatedly binding to antigens, antigen-binding molecules with improved pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such an antigen-binding molecule, and methods for producing those described above.

The present inventors discovered that antigen uptake into cells is facilitated by an antibody having human FcRn-binding activity at the plasma pH and a lower antigen-binding activity at the early endosomal pH than at the plasma pH; such antibodies can increase the number of antigens to which a single antibody molecule can bind; the reduction of antigen in plasma can be facilitated by administering such an antibody; and antibody pharmacokinetics can be improved by using such antibodies.

Provided herein are RNA molecules encoding viral replication proteins and antigenic proteins or fragments thereof. Also provided herein are compositions that include RNA molecules encoding viral replication proteins and antigenic proteins or fragments thereof, and lipids. RNA molecules and compositions including them are useful for inducing immune responses.

Methods of determining suitability of a subject suffering from cancer or at risk of cancer relapse to receive treatment comprising an agent that reduces sCD28 levels are provided. Methods of treating a subject suffering from cancer or at risk of cancer relapse comprising administering an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, measuring soluble CD28 levels in a subject, and administering an agent that reduces sCD28 levels to a subject whose sCD28 levels increased are also provided.

The present invention relates to improved treatment of cancer, in particular to a treatment with a composition of CTL peptides for patients after a treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
