The invention also provides the use of said trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules in a method for the treatment of particular diseases as well as a pharmaceutical compositions/medicament comprising said trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules, wherein said trivalent, bispecific antibody molecule(s) is (are) to be administered in combination with transduced T-cells comprising the fusion protein of the invention. The invention also provides a method for the treatment of particular diseases.
Cell secreted minibodies and uses thereof
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for using a minibody. Minibodies described herein comprise a secretion signal, a variable heavy chain fragment, a variable light chain fragment, a constant chain fragment, and a hinge domain between the variable light chain fragment and the constant chain fragment. One aspect includes a nucleic acid encoding a minibody. Other aspects include compositions comprising a minibody and a modified T cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding a minibody. Also included are methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified T cells for adoptive therapy and treating a condition, such as cancer.
Method for Producing Protein
A method for producing a protein is provided. An objective protein is produced by culturing in a culture medium Talaromyces cellulolyticus having an objective protein-producing ability, which has been modified so that the activity of a Pep4 protein is reduced.
Anti-activin A antibodies and uses thereof
The disclosure provides compositions and methods relating to or derived from anti-activin A binding proteins, including antibodies. In particular embodiments, the disclosure provides fully human, humanized, and chimeric anti-activin A antibodies that bind human activin A, activin A-binding fragments and derivatives of such antibodies, and activin A-binding polypeptides comprising such fragments. Other embodiments provide 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 or diagnosing subjects having activin A-related disorders or conditions including cachexia related to gonadal cancer, other cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, and other diseases.
