The present invention provides novel antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that bind to human CD30. Also presented are single chain variable antibodies, chimeric antigen receptors and uses thereof. Methods of treating cancer are also disclosed.

The invention provides anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies and methods of using the same.

Provided are an anti-RS virus antibody with high sensitivity and a test reagent using the antibody.

An anti-RS virus N protein monoclonal antibody, comprising a heavy chain variable region consisting of the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, and a light chain variable region consisting of the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, 3 or 4, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

Disclosed is a method for improving affinity of an antibody for an antigen, comprising, in an unmodified antibody, improving affinity for an antigen as compared to the unmodified antibody, by changing 17th, 18th and 20th amino acid residues of a light chain defined by Kabat method to charged amino acid residues.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides for methods and compositions for enhancing the immune response toward cancers and pathogens. It relates to chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that specifically target human mesothelin, and immunoresponsive cells comprising such CARs. The presently disclosed mesothelin-targeted CARs have enhanced immune-activating properties, including anti-tumor activity.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides for methods and compositions for treating a neoplasia (e.g., multiple myeloma). It relates to chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that specifically target Fc Receptor-like 5 (FcRL5), e.g., domain 9 of FcRL5, and immunoresponsive cells comprising such CARs. The presently disclosed FcRL5-targeted CARs have enhanced immune-activating properties, including anti-tumor activity.

Reversibly inhibited antibodies are disclosed, suitable for treatment of diseases such as cancer. The reversibly inhibited antibodies are such that they regain their activity on illumination, for example with UV light. Compositions containing such antibodies, methods of preparation of such antibodies and methods of use of such antibodies are also disclosed. The moiety employed to provide reversible inhibition may comprise a hydrophilic polymer such as polyethylene glycol.

Herein is reported a polypeptide comprising a first polypeptide and a second polypeptide each comprising in N-terminal to C-terminal direction at least a portion of an immunoglobulin hinge region, which comprises one or more cysteine residues, an immunoglobulin CH2-domain and an immunoglobulin CH3-domain, wherein the first, the second, or the first and the second polypeptide comprise the mutation Y436A (numbering according to the EU index).

The present disclosure relates generally to immunoglobulin-related compositions such as antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof that can bind to and neutralize the activity of A33 protein. The antibodies of the present technology are useful in methods for detecting and treating an A33-positive cancer in a subject in need thereof.

An antibody having a higher function targeting a CD73 antigen, and more specifically, an antibody for cancer treatment having a higher activity. The antibody or a human-type antibody derivative that has a binding activity to a CD73 antigen and activates T cells having a toxic activity to cancer cells, and includes complementarity determining regions of any combination of heavy and light chains each having a specific amino acid sequence.
