T cell receptors

The present invention relates to T cell receptors (TCRs) that bind the HLA-A*02 restricted peptide SLLQHLIGL (SEQ ID NO: 1) derived from the germline cancer antigen PRAME. Said TCRs may comprise non-natural mutations within the alpha and/or beta variable domains relative to a native PRAME TCR. The TCRs of the invention are particularly suitable for use as novel immunotherapeutic reagents for the treatment of malignant disease.

Anti-TIGIT and anti-CD96 antibodies

The instant disclosure provides multispecific molecules that specifically bind to CD96 (e.g., human CD96) and/or TIGIT (e.g., human TIGIT) and isolated antibodies that specifically bind to TIGIT (e.g., human TIGIT). Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these multispecific molecules and antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these multispecific molecules and antibodies, expression vectors and host cells for making these multispecific molecules and antibodies, and methods of treating a subject using these multispecific molecules and antibodies.

Cross-species anti-latent TGF-beta 1 antibodies

The objective of the invention is to provide cross-species anti-latent TGF-beta 1 antibodies which inhibit a protease mediated activation of latent TGF-beta 1 without inhibiting integrin mediated activation of latent TGF-beta 1. To obtain the anti-latent TGF-beta 1 antibodies of the invention, anti-latent-latent TGF-beta 1 antibodies which inhibit a protease mediated activation of latent TGF-beta 1 without inhibiting integrin mediated activation of latent TGF-beta 1 were screened, and then humanized, and further optimized. The invention also provides combination therapies comprising an anti-latent TGF-beta 1 antibody and one or more immune checkpoint inhibitors, preferably a PD-1 axis binding antagonists.

RECOMBINANT PEPTIDE-MHC COMPLEX BINDING PROTEINS AND THEIR GENERATION AND USE

The present invention relates to a method of producing recombinant binding proteins with binding specificity for a peptide-MHC (pMHC) complex. The invention also relates to recombinant binding proteins comprising one, two or more designed repeat domain(s), preferably designed ankyrin repeat domain(s), with binding specificity for a pMHC complex, and to such binding proteins which further comprise a binding agent having binding specificity for a protein expressed on the surface of an immune cell, preferably a T-cell. In addition, the invention relates to nucleic acids encoding such binding proteins or repeat domains, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such binding proteins or nucleic acids, and the use of such binding proteins, nucleic acids or pharmaceutical compositions in methods for treating or diagnosing diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases.

DEVICE FOR DETECTION OF VITAMIN D METABOLITES
20220120767 · 2022-04-21 ·

The present invention provides methods, devices, and compositions to rapidly detect analytes, including small analytes, using a lateral flow device. Described herein is such a lateral flow device that can detect and quantify vitamin D in a whole blood, serum, or plasma sample by employing a sandwich-based immunoassay.

HALF-LIFE EXTENDED IMMTAC BINDING CD3 AND A HLA-A*02 RESTRICTED PEPTIDE

The present invention relates to soluble multi-domain binding molecules comprising T cell receptors (TCR) having specificity for an antigen, an immunoglobulin Fc domain or an albumin-binding moiety; and an immune effector domain. Such multi-domain binding molecules are advantageous because they display improved half-life while retaining function.

Compositions and treatments for <i>Haemophilus influenzae </i>

Immunogenic peptides, fusion polypeptides, and carrier molecules which include the immunogenic peptides, and immunogenic compositions which include these immunogenic peptides, fusion polypeptides, and/or carrier molecules bearing the peptides, and which are able to elicit antibody production against Haemophilus influenzae (Hi), are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of their use in causing an antibody response against one or more strains of Hi.

20230303701 · 2023-09-28 ·

Provided herein are antibodies that selectively bind to complex comprising a non-classical HLA-I (e.g. HLA-E) and a neoantigen having variable heavy chain domains (VH), variable light chain domains (VL), and complementarity determining regions (CDRs) as disclosed herein, as well as methods and uses thereof.

METHOD OF TREATING OR AMELIORATING METABOLIC DISORDERS USING BINDING PROTEINS FOR GASTRIC INHIBITORY PEPTIDE RECEPTOR (GIPR) IN COMBINATION WITH GLP-1 AGONISTS

Methods of treating metabolic diseases and disorders using an antigen binding protein specific for the GIPR polypeptide are provided. In various embodiments the metabolic disease or disorder is type 2 diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, elevated glucose levels, elevated insulin levels and diabetic nephropathy. In certain embodiments the antigen binding protein is administered in combination with a GLP-1 receptor agonist.

HPV-SPECIFIC BINDING MOLECULES

Provided are binding molecules, such as TCRs or antigen binding fragments thereof and antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, such as those that recognize or bind human papilloma virus (HPV) 16, including HPV16 E6 and HPV16 E7. Also provided are engineered cells containing such binding molecules, compositions containing the binding molecules or engineered cells, and methods of treatment, such as administration of the binding molecules, engineered cells, or compositions.
