An isolated monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof binds to F. tularensis lipopolysaccharide (Ft LPS). The antibody preferably lacks an Fc region or has an impaired Fc-region. The antibody may be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition along with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient or diluent. It may be provided in a kit with means for detection of the antibody and instructions for use. A therapeutically effective amount of such an antibody can be used for prophylaxis, treatment or amelioration of Ft infection and for inhibiting Ft uptake by cells in a subject. The antibody can also be used to detect Ft infection. Also disclosed is an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the antibody, an expression vector having the isolated nucleic acid molecule, and a host cell transfected with such an expression vector.

The present invention provides a novel antibody-pyrrolodiazepine derivative and a novel antibody-pyrrolodiazepine derivative conjugate using the same, and a novel CLDN6 and/or CLDN9 antibody.

Provided is an affinity chromatography carrier that maintains high immunoglobulin-binding capacity and high alkali resistance. An immunoglobulin-binding protein including at least one modified immunoglobulin-binding domain, the modified immunoglobulin-binding domain being a polypeptide consisting of an amino acid sequence of an immunoglobulin-binding domain selected from the group consisting of the B domain, Z domain, C domain, and variants thereof of Staphylococcus aureus protein A, in which at least one amino acid residue is inserted between positions corresponding to the 3-position and position 4 of the amino acid sequence of the B domain, Z domain or C domain.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the treatment of immunodeficiency (e.g., primary immunodeficiency disease). In particular, the invention provides human plasma immunoglobulin compositions containing select antibody titers specific for a plurality of respiratory pathogens, methods of identifying human donors and donor samples for use in the compositions, methods of manufacturing the compositions, and methods of utilizing the compositions (e.g., for prophylactic administration and/or therapeutic treatment (e.g., passive immunization (e.g., immune-prophylaxis))).
