The present invention relates to particularly stable and soluble scFv antibodies and Fab fragments specific for TNF, which comprise specific light chain and heavy chain sequences that are optimized for stability, solubility, in vitro and in vivo binding of TNF, and low immunogenicity. The antibodies are designed for the diagnosis and/or treatment of TNF-mediated disorders. The nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expression of the recombinant antibodies of the invention, methods for isolating them and the use of the antibodies in medicine are also described.

Bispecific antibodies which comprise one antigen-binding region binding to an epitope of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and one antigen-binding region binding to human CD3, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and methods for preparing and using the antibodies are also disclosed.

The present invention is directed to methods for filling a container wherein the filled container has no headspace. The present invention is further directed to methods for stabilizing an aqueous drug substance solution by filling a container with the aqueous drug substance solution wherein the filled container has no headspace. The present invention is further directed to methods for detecting headspace in a container.

Provided herein are libraries containing polynucleotides, where one of the polynucleotides encodes an antibody heavy chain with specific hypervariable regions HVR-H1 and HVR-H2. Further provided herein are libraries containing polynucleotides encoding a plurality of unique antibodies, wherein each antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region. Also provided are antibodies, polypeptide libraries, vector libraries, cells, non-human animals, antibody heavy chains, methods of making an antibody library, kits, and methods of generating a bispecific antibody related thereto.

The present invention relates to antibodies having specificity to HER4 and uses thereof, which are able to induce biased 4ICD routing/signaling. The inventors have isolated by antibody phage display three fully human anti-HER4 single-chain variable antibody fragment (scFv), selected on human HER4 extracellular domain, referred as C6 mAb, D5 mAb and F4 mAb and one fully human anti-HER4 scFv named H2 mAb, selected on NRG 1β1-stimulated EGFR/HER4 JMaCYT1-transfected NIH3T3 cells. In particular, the present invention relates to an isolated anti-HER4 antibody, wherein said antibody binds to an epitope of the HER4 protein.

Described herein are antibodies, immunogenic fragments and compositions thereof targeting the killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor protein KIR3DL3, as well as methods of using the same for the treatment of human diseases including cancer. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to an antibody or an immunogenic fragment thereof that specifically binds to KIR3DL3 protein, wherein the antibody or the immunogenic fragment thereof specifically binds to a KIR3DL3 epitope comprising the whole extracellular domain or a portion thereof.

Provided are anti-TIGIT antibodies that bind to “T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT)”, including multispecific anti-TIGIT antibodies with binding specificity for TIGIT and one or more additional antigen, and methods of using the same. In certain embodiments, the anti-TIGIT antibodies comprises a single domain antibody that binds to TIGIT. In certain embodiments, the one or more additional antigen comprises Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL1).

A TCR-like antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, the antibody binding to and having specific and improved affinity to an MHC-I molecule, particularly a CMV pp65 peptide complex (CMVP495-503/HLA-A*02:01) presented by HLA-A*02 are disclosed. A nucleic acid for coding the TCR-like antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof; an expression vector containing the nucleic acid; a cell transformed to the expression vector; a method for producing same; a composition containing a T cell for expressing the antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof as a chimeric antigen receptor; uses of the composition in preventing or treating cancer or an infectious disease; uses of the composition in diagnosis; methods for preventing and/or treating cancer or infectious diseases; and methods for diagnosing are disclosed.

The present invention relates to methods of manufacture for producing a drug substance (DS) or drug product (DP) comprising a mammalian anti-TNF antibody having a heavy chain (HC) comprising SEQ ID NO: 36 and a light chain (LC) comprising SEQ ID NO: 37.

The present disclosure relates to methods for treating Lupus Nephritis (LN) using IL-17 antagonists, e.g., secukinumab. Also disclosed herein are IL-17 antagonists, e.g., IL-17 antibodies, such as secukinumab, for treating LN patients, as well as medicaments, dosing regimens, pharmaceutical formulations, dosage forms, and kits for use in the disclosed uses and methods.
