The invention relates to specific anti-HER3 antibodies, that bind to the beta-hairpin of HER3, their preparation and use as medicament.

The invention concerns polymeric media based on modified natural polysaccharides for removing one or both of Anti-A Antibodies and Anti-B Antibodies from human blood or plasma, the media comprising one or both of (i) a polymeric solid support with a blood group A Antigen ligand attached to the solid support at a ligand loading between 1-5 mg/mL of solid support, and wherein the media is stable under physiological pH conditions, and (ii) a polymeric solid support with a blood group B Antigen ligand attached to the solid support at a ligand loading between 1-5 mg/mL of solid support, and wherein the media is stable under physiological pH conditions.

Compositions and methods of using antibodies that are able to recognize single amino acid polymorphisms in a protein are provided. Compositions are disclosed which may be used for blood typing or to block hemolytic transfusion reactions and/or hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn.

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the sialylation of an Fc fragment, including a mutation step of at least one amino acid selected from among the amino acids in positions 240 to 243, 258 to 267 and 290 to 305 of the Fc fragment, the numbering being that of the EU index or equivalent in Kabat. The present invention also relates to a method for producing a variant of a parent polypeptide including an Fc fragment, the variant having improved sialylation of the Fc fragment relatively to the parent polypeptide, which includes a mutation step of at least one amino acid selected from among the amino acids in positions 240 to 243, 258 to 267 and 290 to 305 of the Fc fragment, the numbering being that of the EU index or equivalent in Kabat.

The present invention relates to an immunoglobulin derived single-chain fragment variable (scFv) that broadly binds HLA II molecules and uses thereof. In particular, targeting of an antigen to antigen presenting cells with the HLAII-specific targeting unit provided herein find use in enhancing immune responses after vaccination.

The present invention relates to combinations of anti-C5 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments which have been determined to exhibit superior activity relative to that of a single anti-C5 antibody or fragment. The combinations include anti-C5 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments which do not compete with one another from C5 binding. Bispecific antibodies comprising antigen-binding domains which do not compete and/or bind the same epitope on C5 are also provided. Compositions and therapeutic methods relating to such anti-C5 combinations and bispecific antibodies are provided herein.
