Selective targeting of the CD40L/Mac-1 interaction by small peptide inhibitors and its use for the treatment of inflammation and atherogenesis
The CD40L/Mac-1 interaction is selectively targeted by small peptide inhibitors and/or antibodies and such peptides are used for the specific treatment of inflammation and atherogenesis. In particular, pharmaceutical compositions comprising a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence EQLKKSKTL and antibodies specifically binding to an epitope are disclosed.
Mice that make V.SUB.L .binding proteins
Genetically modified mice and methods for making an using them are provided, wherein the mice comprise a replacement of all or substantially all immunoglobulin heavy chain V gene segments, D gene segments, and J gene segments with at least one light chain V gene segment and at least one light chain J gene segment. Mice that make binding proteins that comprise a light chain variable domain operably linked to a heavy chain constant region are provided. Binding proteins that contain an immunoglobulin light chain variable domain, including a somatically hypermutated light chain variable domain, fused with a heavy chain constant region, are provided. Modified cells, embryos, and mice that encode sequences for making the binding proteins are provided.
B7-H3 antibody, antigen-binding fragment thereof and medical use thereof
A B7-H3 antibody, an antigen-binding fragment thereof and a medical use thereof are provided. Furthermore, a pharmaceutical composition containing the B7-H3 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, and the use thereof as a medicament are provided. In particular, a use of a human B7-H3 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a B7-H3-associated disease or condition are described.
Anti-galectin-1 (GAL1) monoclonal antibodies and fragments thereof for neutralizing GAL1
The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery of galectin 1 (Gal1) epitopes against which anti-Gal1 agents can neutralize Gal1 function, as well as anti-Gal1 agents and methods useful for neutralizing Gal1 function.
JAML specific binding agents, antibodies, and uses related thereto
Certain embodiments of the disclosure relate to targeted binding agents that specifically bind to JAM-like protein and therein inhibit epithelial damage. Although it is not intended that embodiments of the disclosure be limited by any particular mechanism, it is believed that a possible mechanism by which this can be achieved may include, but are not limited to, either inhibition of binding of JAML to the CAR, inhibition of JAML induced CAR signaling, or increased clearance of JAML from the body of a subject, therein reducing the effective concentration of soluble JAML. In certain embodiment, the specific binding agent is a fully human antibody or chimera that specifically binds to human JAML, such as the JAML D1, and prevents JAML binding to CAR. Certain embodiments of the disclosure contemplate antibodies comprising human IgG type, e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.
Antibodies specific to glycosylated PD-1 and methods of use thereof
Antibodies that selectively bind to glycosylated PD-1 relative to unglycosylated PD-1 are provided. In some aspects, PD-1 polypeptides comprising glycosylated amino acid positions are also provided. Methods for making and using such antibodies and polypeptides (e.g., for the treatment of cancer) are also provided.
Antibodies to MAdCAM
The present invention relates to antibodies including human antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to MAdCAM, preferably human MAdCAM and that function to inhibit MAdCAM. The invention also relates to human anti-MAdCAM antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof. The invention also relates to antibodies that are chimeric, bispecific, derivatized, single chain antibodies or portions of fusion proteins. The invention also relates to isolated heavy and light chain immunoglobulins derived from human anti-MAdCAM antibodies and nucleic acid molecules encoding such immunoglobulins. The present invention also relates to methods of making human anti-MAdCAM antibodies, compositions comprising these antibodies and methods of using the antibodies and compositions for diagnosis and treatment. The invention also provides gene therapy methods using nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy and/or light immunoglobulin molecules that comprise the human anti-MAdCAM antibodies. The invention also relates to transgenic animals or plants comprising nucleic acid molecules of the invention.
Restricted immunoglobulin heavy chain mice
Mice having a restricted immunoglobulin heavy chain locus are provided, wherein the locus is characterized by a single polymorphic human V.sub.H gene segment, a plurality of human D.sub.H gene segments and a plurality of J.sub.H gene segments. Methods for making antibody sequences that bind an antigen (e.g., a viral antigen) are provided, comprising immunizing a mouse with an antigen of interest, wherein the mouse comprises a single human V.sub.H gene segment, a plurality of human D.sub.H gene segments and a plurality of J.sub.H gene segments, at the endogenous immunoglobulin heavy chain locus.
