The present disclosure provides anti-CCR8 antibodies, including compositions and methods of using such antibodies.

Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind C1s and inhibit C1s activity and modulate the activity of at least one component in the classical pathway (CP) of complement activation, and methods for treating complement-mediated disorders using anti-C1s antibodies and fragments, are provided.

The present invention relates to methods for developing engineered T-cells for immunotherapy that are non-alloreactive. The present invention relates to methods for modifying T-cells by inactivating both genes encoding T-cell receptor and an immune checkpoint gene to unleash the potential of the immune response. This method involves the use of specific rare cutting endonucleases, in particular TALE-nucleases (TAL effector endonuclease) and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides, to precisely target a selection of key genes in T-cells, which are available from donors or from culture of primary cells. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies for treating cancer and viral infections.

Methods and apparatuses (e.g., systems, devices, etc.) for delivering a nebulized drug agent in the nasal passages concurrent with the lungs.

An anti-CTLA4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4) and anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death 1) bifunctional antibody. a pharmaceutical composition thereof and use thereof. Particularly, the anti-CLTA4 and anti-PD-1 bifunctional antibody comprises a first protein functional domain that targets PD-1 and a second protein functional domain that targets CTLA-4. The bifunctional antibody can bind to CTLA-4 and PD-1 specifically, relieve immunosuppression of CTLA4 and PD-1 on an organism specifically, activate T lymphocytes, and thus has good application prospects.

Methods for selecting and treating patients with active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) that are predicted to have an increased likelihood of having a positive response to a treatment with a safe and effective amount of an anti-IL-12/IL-23p40 antibody or an anti-IL-23 antibody, e.g., informs on what patients to treat with the anti-IL-12/IL-23p40 antibody ustekinumab.

The present invention provides a method for preparation of a lyophilized formulation of an anti-CD 20 antibody as well as to a lyophilized formulation of an anti-CD 20 antibody, comprising an anti-CD 20 antibody and having a residual moisture content in the range of 1% to 10%. The present invention also relates to the reconstituted formulation obtained by the method described herein, the use of said antibody formulation as a medicament, the use of the lyophilized formulation for the preparation of a medicament and a method of treating a patient.

The present application is directed to compounds of Formula (I)-(VIII): ##STR00001## compositions comprising these compounds and their uses, for example as medicaments and/or diagnostics.

Provided is a novel anti-Plexin-A1 agonist antibody that promotes dendritic cell contraction. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition comprising such an antibody and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The invention describes anti-cancer therapies comprising using an LRP5 antagonist in combination with an anti-PD1 antibody, each as described herein.
