Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) constructs are provided that are able to selectively bind to specific protein complexes, such as HER 1/HER3 heterodimer receptors. CAR T-cells comprising these constructs can be used to safely and efficiently target cancer cells expressing specific protein complexes.

The present invention relates to engineered hetero-dimeric immunoglobulins or fragments thereof and methods of making the same.

Provided is an isolated TrkB agonist antibody that binds to an epitope contained in one of the extracellular domains of TrkB and is capable of activating TrkB, wherein the extracellular domains comprises extracellular D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 domains and juxtamembrane domain of TrkB. Methods of using the TrkB agonist antibody in treating or reducing the risk of a TrkB associated conditions in a subject, wherein said condition is selected from cell differentiation, synaptic development, neural injury repairing and/or neurite branching.

Provided herein are modified amino acids comprising a tetrazine groups according to Formula I: polypeptides, antibodies, payloads and conjugates comprising these modified amino acid residues derived from the modified amino acids, and methods of producing the polypeptides, antibodies, payloads and conjugates comprising the modified amino acid residues. The polypeptides, antibodies, payloads and conjugates are useful in methods of treatment and prevention, methods of detection and methods of diagnosis.

The present invention relates to methods and formulations useful for reducing the reconstitution time of lyophilized polypeptides.

Provided are antibody and antigen-binding fragment with modified C and CH1 domains that still enable pairing of the C and CH1 domains but have reduced pairing compared to wild type CH1 and C domains without the modification. Such modifications can particularly useful for preparing bispecific antibodies which two different pairs of C and CH1 domains.

The present invention provides heterodimeric antibodies and fragments thereof and methods for their preparation, wherein the pairing of heavy and light chains has been improved. Interface residues were mutated such that each light chain strongly favoured its cognate heavy chain when two different heavy chains and two different light chains were co-transfected and co-expressed in the same cell to assemble a functional, heterodimeric antibody or fragment thereof.

The present invention provides, among other things, anti-Flt-1 antibodies and methods for treating muscular dystrophy, in particular, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In some embodiments, a method according to the present invention in-cludes administering to an individual who is suffering from or susceptible to DMD an effective amount of an anti-Flt-1 antibody or antigen-binding protein thereof such that at least one symptom or feature of DMD is reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency, or has delayed onset.

The present invention relates to amino acid sequences that can bind to serum albumin. In particular, the present invention relates to immunoglobulin single variable domains, and in particular heavy-chain immunoglobulin single variable domains, that can bind to serum albumin. The invention also relates to proteins, polypeptides and other constructs, compounds, molecules or chemical entities that comprise at least one of the immunoglobulin single variable domains binding to serum albumin that are described herein.

Disclosed herein are methods of treating or preventing a lung disorder comprising administering to a subject a composition comprising an agent that modulates activity and/or expression of Epithelial Membrane Protein 2 (EMP2) in an amount effective to treat or prevent the lung disorder and compositions useful in such for methods.
