Antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) that bind to 191P4D12 protein and variants thereof are described herein. 191P4D12 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, and is aberrantly expressed in the cancers listed in Table I. Consequently, the ADC's of the invention provide a therapeutic composition for the treatment of cancer.

The provided scaffolds have heavy chains that are asymmetric in the various domains (e.g. CH2 and CH3) to accomplish selectivity between the various Fc receptors involved in modulating effector function, beyond those achievable with a natural homodimeric (symmetric) Fc molecule, and increased stability and purity of the resulting variant Fc heterodimers. These novel molecules comprise complexes of heterogeneous components designed to alter the natural way antibodies behave and that find use in therapeutics.

Monoclonal antibodies derived from the native human repertoire that bind the extracellular portion of Killer IgG Receptor (KIR) and pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions thereof are useful in treating cancer in human and other subjects.

Provided are a method of preparing an antibody with a regulated, sugar chain content, the method including the step of culturing antibody-expressing cells in a medium including glycerol as an additive for regulating the antibody sugar chain content, a method of preparing a high-quality population of antibodies by regulating the sugar content of the antibody to a desired content, and a population of antibodies prepared by the method. Further, provided is a method of regulating the antibody sugar chain content, the method including the step of culturing antibody-expressing cells in a medium including glycerol as an additive for regulating the antibody sugar chain content. Furthermore, provided is a medium composition, for regulating the antibody sugar chain content, the medium composition including glycerol as an additive for regulating the antibody sugar chain content. The preparation method of antibodies according to the present invention may be used to prepare a desired high-quality population of antibodies by regulating the sugar chain content of the antibody. Further, in terms of the development of biosimilars, the method of the present, invention may be used to regulate the sugar chain, content of antibodies, thereby preparing antibodies having high equivalence to a control drug. Since the sugar chain content may be regulated by a medium composition, the regulation method is easy and efficient in terms of time and cost, and therefore, widely applied to the fields of antibody preparation.

The disclosure pertains to conformational epitopes in A-beta, antibodies thereto and methods of making and using immunogens and antibodies specific thereto.

The present inventors produced a heterodimerized polypeptide having an Fc region formed from two polypeptides with different amino acid sequences (a first polypeptide and a second polypeptide), and succeeded in producing a heterodimerized polypeptide containing an Fc region with improved function compared to that of a homodimer in which the Fc region is composed of only the first polypeptide or the second polypeptide by conventional technology.

The disclosure pertains to epitopes identified in A-beta including conformational epitopes, antibodies thereto and methods of making and using immunogens and antibodies specific thereto.

The present invention relates to novel stabilized IgG4 antibodies, to methods of producing such antibodies and to uses of such antibodies as a medicament. In a main aspect, the invention relates to a stabilized IgG4 antibody, comprising a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein said heavy chain comprises a human IgG4 constant region having a substitution of the Arg residue at position (409), the Phe residue at position (405) or the Lys residue at position (370).

The present invention relates to novel chimeric molecules of ficolin-associated polypeptides, such as fusion polypeptides for the use in the treatment of conditions associated with inflammation, apoptosis, autoimmunity, coagulation, thrombotic or coagulopathic related diseases. The present invention further relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding such fusion polypeptides, vectors and host cells used in the production of the fusion polypeptides.

Described herein are monoclonal antibodies that bind to VSIG-4 including antibodies that block the binding of VSIG-4 to SIGLEC-7, compositions including the monoclonal antibodies, and methods of making and using those antibodies and compositions.
