The present is directed to compositions comprising regulatory T cell epitopes, wherein said epitopes comprise a polypeptide comprising at least a portion of SEQ NOS: 1-14, fragments and/or variants thereof, as well as methods of producing and using the same.

Antibodies and antibody fragments that inhibit the activity of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) and/or macrophage erythroblast attacher (MAEA) are provided, along with formulations and kits comprising these antibodies and antibody fragments and the use of the disclosed compositions, formulations, and kits to treat cancers, sickle cell disease, and Polycythemia Vera.

Antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, and conjugates (e.g., antibody-drug conjugates such as those comprising eribulin) thereof that bind to mesothelin are disclosed. The disclosure further relates to methods and compositions for use in the treatment of cancer by administering the compositions provided herein.

Subject matter of the present invention is a method for (a) diagnosing or predicting the risk of life-threatening deterioration or an adverse event or (b) diagnosing or prognosing the severity or (c) predicting or monitoring the success of a therapy or intervention or (d) therapy guidance or therapy stratification or (e) patient management in a patient infected with a coronavirus, the method comprising: determining the level of dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) in a sample of bodily fluid of said patient, comparing said level of determined DPP3 to a pre-determined threshold, and correlating said level of determined DPP3 with the risk of life-threatening deterioration or an adverse event, or correlating said level of determined DPP3 with the severity, or correlating said level of determined DPP3 with the success of a therapy or intervention, or correlating said level of DPP3 with a certain therapy or intervention, or correlating said level of DPP3 with the management of said patient.

Subject matter of the present invention is an inhibitor of the activity of DPP3 for use in therapy or intervention in a patient infected with a coronavirus.

The present invention relates to monoclonal anti-Sortilin antibodies which have been found useful correcting a deficient level progranulin (PGRN). In particular, these antibodies can be used in the treatment of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Provided are methods of treating cancer or increasing, enhancing, or stimulating an immune response with non-competitive, agonist anti-OX40 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to human OX40 (ACT35, CD 134, or TNFRSF4), in combination with an anti-PD 1 or with an anti-PDL 1 antibody.

Antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof are provided that bind to T-cell receptors (e.g., TCRα), essentially independent of T-cell epitope specificity. Methods for manipulation of T-cells and methods of treatment using such antibodies are likewise provided.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for increasing the stability of recombinant nanobodies. Also disclosed herein are recombinant nanobodies comprising an IL-2 polypeptide that bind serum albumin and uses thereof for treating cancers.

The present invention relates to an immunogenic polypeptide comprising a multitude of papillomavirus (PV) L2 N-terminal peptides corresponding to amino acids 20 to 50 of the L2 polypeptide of HPV16, wherein said HPV L2 N-terminal peptides are L2 N-terminal peptides from at least four different cutaneous HPV genotypes; and to the aforesaid immunogenic polypeptide for use in medicine and for use in vaccination of a subject against cutaneous HPV infection and/or mucosal HPV infection. The present invention further relates to a polynucleotide encoding the aforesaid immunogenic polypeptide and to vectors, host cells, methods for producing an antibody, as well as antibodies related thereto.

Disclosed are methods for the treatment of non-fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The methods involve the administration to a subject in need thereof of a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an HSP27 polypeptide or immunologically equivalent portion thereof, or an anti-HSP27 antibody or a functional anti-HSP27 antibody fragment, or a mixture of an HSP27 polypeptide or immunologically equivalent portion thereof, and an anti-HSP27 antibody or a functional anti-HSP27 antibody fragment.
