The present disclosure concerns modulators of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, in particular an NLRP3 inflammasome modulator which is capable of binding to both of IL-IR1 and NLRP3.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules. In particular, the present invention relates to several novel peptide sequences and their variants derived from HLA class I and class II molecules of human tumor cells that can be used in vaccine compositions for eliciting anti-tumor immune responses or as targets for the development of pharmaceutically/immunologically active compounds and cells.

Disclosed are a lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) antibody pharmaceutical composition and the use thereof. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a LAG-3 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof in an acetate buffer or in a histidine salt buffer. The pharmaceutical composition may also comprise saccharide, non-ionic surfactant and other excipients.

The present invention provides a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) which binds a low density target antigen, which comprises a Fab antigen binding domain. The invention also relates to cells expressing such a CAR and their use in the treatment of disease.

Provided is a protein comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment and an interleukin molecule operably linked to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment specifically binds to an immune checkpoint protein. The interleukin molecule is IL-10.

This invention relates to a peptide comprising or consisting of at least 8 consecutive amino acid residues of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3, provided that said peptide does not consist of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3, or a corresponding peptidomimetic, wherein said peptide or peptidomimetic binds to an anti-KIR4.1 antibody comprised in a sample from a patient having multiple sclerosis or a predisposition therefor. The present invention furthermore relates to a method for diagnosing multiple sclerosis or a predisposition for multiple sclerosis in a subject, the method comprising determining the presence of an anti-KIR4.1 antibody in a sample obtained from said subject, wherein the presence of an anti-KIR4.1 antibody in said sample is indicative of multiple sclerosis or a predisposition for multiple sclerosis. Also provided are novel means and methods for the therapy of multiple sclerosis.

The present disclosure relates to an isolated anti-AAV (adeno-associated virus) antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof capable of specifically binding an epitope of AAVrh74 capsid protein and uses thereof.

Anti-SpA murine, chimeric and humanized monoclonal antibodies, and variant antibodies having a heavy chain with at least one amino acid substitution are provided. Such antibodies may be used to prevent or treat microbial infections.

There is disclosed compositions and methods relating to or derived from anti-CD137 antibodies. More specifically, there is disclosed fully human antibodies that bind CD137, CD137-antibody binding fragments and derivatives of such antibodies, and CD137-binding polypeptides comprising such fragments. Further still, there is disclosed nucleic acids encoding such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, cells comprising such polynucleotides, methods of making such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, and methods of using such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, including methods of treating a disease requiring either stimulation of immune responses or suppression. Diseases amenable to treatment is selected from the group consisting of cancers, autoimmune diseases and viral infections.

Provided herein are a fusion protein comprising an interleukin-22 domain and an albumin binding domain, and a pharmaceutical composition thereof. Also provided herein are methods of their use for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of an inflammatory disease.
