An antibody that specifically binds to a glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR), an antibody fragment and a polymer thereof, and a conjugate and a fusion comprising the antibody or the antibody fragment are provided in the present invention. A nucleic acid encoding the antibody, the antibody fragment, the polymer, the conjugate and the fusion, a vector, and a host cell expressing the nucleic acid are also provided in the present invention. In addition, a composition comprising the antibody and the antibody fragment thereof, the polymer, the conjugate or the fusion, and use thereof in therapy and diagnosis are also provided in the present invention.

VH domain, in which: (i) the amino acid residue at position 112 is one of K or Q; and/or (ii) the amino acid residue at position 89 is T; and/or (iii) the amino acid residue at position 89 is L and the amino acid residue at position 110 is one of K or Q; and (iv) in each of cases (i) to (iii), the amino acid at position 11 is preferably V; and in which said VH domain contains a C-terminal extension (X)n, in which n is 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 5, such as 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (and preferably 1 or 2, such as 1); and each X is an (preferably naturally occurring) amino acid residue that is independently chosen, and preferably independently chosen from the group consisting of alanine (A), glycine (G), valine (V), leucine (L) or isoleucine (I).

The present disclosure relates to a modified Interleukin-1 (IL-1) family member cytokine, with reduced activity via its cytokine receptor, wherein said interleukin-1 family member cytokine is specifically delivered to target cells. Preferably, the IL-1 family member cytokine is a mutant, more preferably it is a mutant IL-1 with low affinity to the IL-1 receptor, wherein said mutant IL-1 is specifically delivered to target cells. The targeting is preferably realized by fusion of the modified IL-1 family member cytokine to a targeting moiety, preferably an antibody or antibody-like molecule. The disclosure relates further to the use of such targeted modified IL-1 family member cytokine to treat diseases.

The present invention relates to single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) directed against Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 (LILRB2), pharmaceutical compositions comprising

The invention generally relates to VHH domains that specifically bind a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus spike protein receptor binding domain, corresponding expression vectors and host cells, and methods of treatment using such VHH domains.

A method for generating a plurality of diverse camelid antibodies to cover functional epitopes of the target with high-resolution. Also provided is a method for generating camelid antibodies.

Provided are an anti-CAIX single-domain antibody and a VHH chain thereof, as well as related coding sequence, expression vector and host cell; also provided are a production method for said CAIX single-domain antibody and an application thereof.

The present invention relates, in part, to agents that bind PD-L1 and their use as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the PD-L1 targeting moiety and their use in the treatment of various diseases.

The present application provides an isolated PD-L1 binding molecule, specifically, an isolated PD-L1 single-domain antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. The present invention also provides a nucleic acid encoding the isolated PD-L1 binding molecule, an expression vector or host cell comprising the nucleic acid, and a pharmaceutical composition or kit comprising the PD-L1 binding molecule.

The present invention relates in part to amino acid sequences that are directed against and/or that can specifically bind to an envelope protein of a virus, as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences.
