ANTIBODIES AGAINST NOTCH 3
The present disclosure relates to antibodies or fragments thereof that target at least one conformational epitope of a Notch 3 or mutant Notch 3 receptor; and compositions and methods of use thereof.
HUMAN MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES ENDOWED WITH STRONG NEUTRALIZING ACTIVITY AGAINST HSV-1 AND HSV-2
The present invention is in the field of monoclonal antibodies suitable for passive immunotherapy of Herpes Simplex Virus infections and relates to human monoclonal antibodies or fragments of said antibodies, which bind and neutralize HSV-1 and HSV-2, and their use in the prophylaxis or treatment of HSV-1 or HSV-2-associated diseases.
ANTI-C5 ANTIBODIES HAVING IMPROVED PHARMACOKINETICS
The disclosure provides antibodies that are useful for, among other things, inhibiting terminal complement (e.g., the assembly and/or activity of the C5b-9 TCC) and C5a anaphylatoxin-mediated inflammation and, thus, treating complement-associated disorders. The antibodies have a number of improved properties relative to eculizumab, including, e.g., increased serum half-life in a human.
PATIENT-SPECIFIC IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR TREATING HETEROGENEOUS TUMORS
In the field of therapy, specifically patient-specific immune therapy for cancer, improved therapeutic modalities are provided for. The identity and dosage of the administered anti-tumor antibodies is determined and dynamically adjusted to the individual patient's condition, disease and/or treatment progression, thus providing anti-cancer treatment which may be particularly advantageous for the treatment of heterogeneous tumors.
LYSOSOMAL TARGETING AND USES THEREOF
The invention provides compositions and methods for effective lysosomal targeting mediated by PCSK9. In particular, the compositions and methods provided by the invention may be used to treat lysosomal storage diseases such as Pompe Disease and Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B, and they may be used for targeting lysosomal enzymes to the various muscles of the human body.
Liquid pharmaceutical composition
The present invention relates to novel liquid pharmaceutical compositions of adalimumab, which include adalimumab or a biosimilar thereof, an acetate buffering agent/system such as sodium acetate/acetic acid, and a sugar stabiliser such as trehalose. Such a combination of components furnishes formulations having a stability (e.g. on storage and when exposed to stress) which is comparable to or an improvement upon those known in the art, and with fewer ingredients. Such advances will help adalimumab treatments to become more widely available at lower cost, and prolong the viability of pre-loaded delivery devices (e.g. pre-filled syringes) to reduce unnecessary waste of the drug.
Antibody Molecules and Peptide Delivery Systems for Use in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders
The present invention relates to antibody molecules and peptide delivery systems for use in the treatment and management of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. In particular, the antibody molecules preferentially bind oligomeric forms of beta-amyloid peptide, in single domain format, and the peptide delivery systems facilitate specific transport of such antibody molecules, as well as other cargo molecules, across the blood-brain barrier. The invention also relates to constructs of the antibody molecules and the delivery peptides, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising effective amounts of the antibody molecules, delivery peptides, and/or their constructs, including humanized versions of the antibody molecules and constructs. The invention further relates to methods of making these products and pharmaceutical compositions thereof; and methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions in treating or preventing Alzheimer's and related disorders, such as those involving accumulation of beta-amyloid peptide or other peptides that aggregate in the brain; as well as to methods and kits for diagnosing these disorders.
TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR (TNF) SUPERFAMILY RECEPTOR BINDING MOLECULES AND USES THEREOF
This disclosure provides dimeric, pentameric, and hexameric Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) superfamily receptor protein binding molecules and methods of using such binding molecules to direct apoptosis-mediated killing of TNF receptor-expressing cells.
MODULATION OF CHARGE VARIANTS IN A MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY COMPOSITION
Combinations of different chromatography modalities with particularly refined conditions significantly reduce acid charge variants in a preparation of monoclonal antibodies. The process for reducing acid charge variants utilizes a combination of anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, followed by cation exchange chromatography polishing, whereby the levels of acidic or basic charge species of the monoclonal antibodies may be modulated to a desired level.
Animals, repertoires and methods
The present invention is directed to the concept of sectoring antibody gene segment repertoires in order to enable the development of novel, synthetic antibody chain repertoires not seen in nature. The present invention is also directed to the realisation of the inventors that sectoring can also alter gene segment expression by providing new arrangements of gene segment clusters relative to other gene segments and regulatory elements in transgenic immunoglobulin loci, thereby providing for new synthetic antibody chain sequence repertoires. The invention also relates to gene segment inversion.
