Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind and inhibit TRENT-1 signaling, wherein the antibodies do not bind to one or more FcγRs and do not induce the myeloid cells to produce inflammatory cytokines. Also provided are uses of such antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, in therapeutic applications, such as treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Provided herein are compositions comprising recombinant mammalian cells that express recombinant T cell rectors with specificity against EBV or CMV peptide:MHC antigens. Also provided are therapeutic methods of using the recombinant mammalian cells as cell therapies against viral infections.

Described herein are antibodies, fragments thereof and multi-specific binding agents that bind an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 2 (LMP2) peptide presented by HLA class I molecules, in particular, HLA-A02. Also provided herein are methods of using the same or compositions thereof for the detection, prevention and/or therapeutic treatment of diseases characterized by expression of an EBV-LMP2 peptide presented by HLA-A02, in particular, Burkit's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The present invention relates to a method for identifying δT-cell (or γT-cell) receptors chains or parts thereof that mediate an anti-tumor or anti-infection response by identifying amino acid sequences comprising δT-cells (or γT-cell) receptors chains or parts thereof that are shared between different donors.

It has been demonstrated that certain compounds bind to TNF and stabilise a conformation of trimeric TNF that binds to the TNF receptor. Antibodies which selectively bind to complexes of such compounds with TNF superfamily members are disclosed. These antibodies may be used to detect further compounds with the same activity, and as target engagement biomarker.

Agents that specifically bind to a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in a conformationally specific way can be used to induce a conformational change in the receptor. Such agents have therapeutic applications and can be used in X-ray crystallography studies of the receptor. Such agents can also be used to improve drug discovery via compound screening and/or structure based drug design.

Disclosed herein are inhibitors, such as antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, that selectively bind complexes of LTBP1-TGFβ and/or LTBP3-TGFβ. The application also provides methods of use of these inhibitors for, for example, inhibiting TGFβ activation, and treating subjects suffering from TGFβ-related disorders, such as fibrotic conditions. Methods of selecting a context-dependent or context-independent isoform-specific TGFβ inhibitor for a subject in need thereof are also provided.

The present disclosure provides antibody sequences found in antibodies that bind to human CD25. In particular, the present disclosure provides sequences of anti-human CD25 antibodies, which do not block the binding of CD25 to IL-2 or IL-2 signalling. Antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof including such sequences can be used in pharmaceutical composition and methods of treatment, in particular for treating cancer.

The invention provides novel peptides (e.g., linkers) and polypeptide compositions comprising the linkers (e.g., fusion proteins) and methods of using the polypeptide compositions. Peptides (e.g., linkers) are useful as tags and for engineering fusion proteins (e.g., antigen binding molecules, scFv). Polypeptide linkers described herein facilitate flexibility of linked peptides allowing for proper folding, conformation and reduced immunogenicity.

Phycoerythrin (PE) and peptide:MHCII (p:MHCII) reactive monoclonal antibodies; methods to generate monoclonal antibodies including, for example, peptide:MHC (p:MHC) reactive monoclonal antibodies; compositions including monoclonal antibodies; and uses thereof.
