Methods, compositions and kits are provided for treating a subject exposed to or at risk for exposure to a disease agent, methods, compositions and kits having a pharmaceutical composition including at least one recombinant binding protein or a source of expression of the binding protein, wherein the binding protein neutralizes at least one or a plurality of disease agents that are toxins, for example at least one of a Botulinum toxin or an Anthrax toxin.

The present disclosure provides an anti-immune-checkpoint nanobody that specifically binds to a programmed cell death ligand 1. The present disclosure also provides the nucleic acid sequence of the anti-immune-checkpoint nanobody, use of the anti-immune-checkpoint nanobody for treating cancer and immune-related disorders, and a method for detecting expression levels of PD-L1.

Provided are CD8 binding agents comprising a VHH domain that specifically binds human CD8. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding such CD8 binding agents, vectors comprising such nucleic acids, host cells comprising same, and methods of making such CD8 binding agents. Also provided are CD8 binding agents having the VHH domain conjugated to a detectable label. Provided are methods of using such CD8 binding agents to detect CD8+ T cells, monitor disease progress, and monitor treatment progress in a subject having cancer, autoimmune disease or condition, transplant rejection or graft-versus-host disease.

The present disclosure provides anti-tau antibodies and vectorization thereof (e.g., into AAV particles). Also provided are methods of using anti-tau antibodies and/or AAV particles for prevention, treatment, and/or diagnosis of neurological indications.

Single domain antibodies that bind to Claudin18.2, and chimeric antigen receptors comprising same are provided. Further provided are engineered immune effector cells (such as T cells) comprising the chimeric antigen receptors. Pharmaceutical compositions, kits and methods of treating a disease or disorder are also provided.

The present disclosure provides a canine parvovirus (CPV) nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of immunology. A heavy-chain variable region sequence of the nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; and a gene encoding the nanobody CPV-VPP-H1 has the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2. In the present disclosure, a nanobody immune library of the CPV is constructed by a phage display technology, a specific anti-CPV nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 is obtained by screening, and it is verified by experiments that the nanobody may specifically bind to the CPV. The present disclosure is expected to develop a new nanobody preparation for use in clinical diagnosis and treatment of the CPV, and provides a certain theoretical reserve for applying the nanobody to the field of veterinary biological products.

Polypeptide products, methods, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits are provided for treating a subject exposed to, or at risk for exposure to, C. difficile microbial pathogens and toxin B produced by C. difficile (TcdB) pathogens. The methods, compositions and kits include a single domain, anti-TcdB VHH polypeptide (antibody), or toxin B binding portion thereof, that specifically binds to and/or neutralizes TcdB and treats or prevents illness and disease associated with C. difficile infection and TcdB intoxication. The anti-TcdB VHHs, or toxin B binding portion thereof, may be recombinantly produced.

A BCMA-binding immunoglobulin single variable structural domain and an antigen-binding molecule including an immunoglobulin single variable structural domain and an antigen-binding molecule, a nucleic acid encoding the above, a vector containing the nucleic acid, a cell containing the vector, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the above, as well as a therapeutic use thereof.

The present invention relates to amino acid sequences binding to serum albumin. In particular, the present invention relates to improved immunoglobulin single variable domains (also referred to herein as “ISV's” or “ISVD's”), and more in particular improved heavy-chain immunoglobulin single variable domains (also referred to herein as “ISV's” or “ISVD's”) binding to serum albumin, as well as to proteins, polypeptides and other constructs, compounds, molecules or chemical entities that comprise such improved serum albumin binders.

There is provided inter alia a polypeptide comprising an immunoglobulin chain variable domain which binds to IL-6R, wherein the immunoglobulin chain variable domain comprises three complementarity determining regions (CDR1-CDR3) and four framework regions (FR1-FR4), wherein CDR1-CDR3 and FR1-FR4 are as defined in the specification.
