A method for eradicating tumor cells expressing on their surface a MHC-peptide complex comprising a peptide derived from MAGE comprising contacting the cell with at least one immune effector cell through specific interaction of a specific binding molecule for the MHC-peptide complex. Described are bispecific immunoglobulins of which one arm specifically binds to a MHC-MAGE-derived peptide complex associated with aberrant cells, and the other arm specifically recognizes a target associated with immune effector cells. A pharmaceutical composition comprising such bispecific antibody and suitable diluents and/or excipients and a T cell comprising a T-cell receptor or a chimeric antigen receptor recognizing a MHC-peptide complex comprising a peptide derived from MAGE-A is described, as well as a method of producing a T cell comprising introducing into the T-cell nucleic acids encoding an α chain and a β chain or a chimeric antigen receptor.

A multi-specific antibody contains at least one binding site for a cell specific antigen and at least one binding site for a tumor-reactive lymphocyte antigen and a multi-specific antibody including an IgG antibody or fragment thereof that binds to a first antigen; and at least one scFv antibody that binds to a second antigen that is different from the first antigen and is linked to a C terminus of at least one light chain or heavy chain of said IgG antibody or fragment. The multi-specific antibody reversibly binds to at least one of the cell specific antigen and tumor-reactive lymphocyte antigen or the first antigen and the second antigen with a greater affinity at an aberrant condition than at a normal physiological condition. Conjugates of the multi-specific antibodies and methods for generating the multi-specific antibody are also provided.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of enabling efficient structural analysis of a target protein that has been impossible or difficult to analyze so far, by stabilizing the target protein. The present invention provides an anti-BRIL antibody which specifically binds to BRIL or a BRIL fusion protein and an antigen-binding fragment thereof, a nucleic acid encoding the anti-BRIL antibody and the antigen-binding fragment thereof, a vector containing the nucleic acid, an antibody producing cell containing the vector, a method of producing the antibody, and a method of using the antibody in a protein structural analysis.

Provided herein are antibodies that selectively bind to complex comprising a non-classical HLA-I (e.g. HL A-E) and a neoantigen (e.g. VMAPRTLFL (SEQ ID NO: 38)) 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.

The present invention generally relates to antibodies that bind to HLA-A2/MAGE-A4, including multispecific antibodies e.g. for activating T cells. In addition, the present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding such antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further relates to methods for producing the antibodies, and to methods of using them in the treatment of disease.

The present invention relates to fusion proteins comprising variant IL-15 proteins, fusion proteins comprising variant anti-PD-1 antigen binding domains, and fusion proteins comprising variant IL-15 proteins and variant anti-PD-1 antigen binding domains. The present invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors, host cells and methods for making such fusion proteins and the use of such fusion proteins in the treatment of cancer.

This disclosure relates to anti-Natriuretic Peptide Receptor 1 (NPR1) antibodies including agonist antibodies which are able to activate the NPR1 receptor, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods of treatment comprising the same.

The present invention concerns antigen binding proteins specifically binding melanoma associated antigen A (MAGE-A) protein-derived antigens. The invention in particular provides antigen binding proteins which specifically bind to the MAGE-A antigenic peptide comprising or consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 in a complex with a major histocombatibility (MHC) protein. The antigen binding proteins of the invention contain, in particular, the complementary determining regions (CDRs) of novel engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically bind to said MAGE-A peptide/MHC complex. The antigen binding proteins of the invention are of use for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of MAGE-A expressing cancerous diseases. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the antigen binding proteins of the invention, vectors comprising these nucleic acids, recombinant cells expressing the antigen binding proteins and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antigen binding proteins of the invention.

Provided herein are agents that inhibit the function (e.g., the ability to repress Tsp-1) of Protease, Serine 2 (PRSS2) by inhibiting the binding of PRSS2 to LRP1. Further provided herein are agents that bind to binding domain I of LRP1 and mimic the activity of prosaposin in stimulating Tsp-1 Methods of using these agents in treating cancer are also provided.

Antigen binding proteins that bind to human CGRP receptor (CGRP R) are provided. Nucleic acids encoding the antigen binding protein, vectors, and cells encoding the same are also provided. The antigen binding proteins can inhibit binding of CGRP R to CGRP, and are useful in a number of CGRP R related disorders, including the treatment and/or prevention of migraine headaches.
