The invention provides programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibodies and methods of using the same.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to molecular payloads that modulate the expression or activity of genes involved in muscle growth and maintenance (e.g., MSTN, INHBA, and/or ACVR1B), and complexes comprising a muscle-targeting agent covalently linked to such molecular payloads. In some embodiments, the muscle-targeting agent specifically binds to an internalizing cell surface receptor on a muscle cell (e.g., a cardiac muscle cell). In some embodiments, the molecular payload is an oligonucleotide, such as an antisense oligonucleotide or RNAi oligonucleotide.

This invention relates to agents that bind human Siglecs having inhibitory activity in immune cells, and that neutralize the inhibitory activity of such Siglec. Such agents can be used for the treatment of cancers or infectious disease.

This disclosure provides anti-apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) antibodies, including anti-APOL1 antibodies that distinguish the GO and G1 forms from the G2 form of APOL1, distinguish APOL1 found on podocytes from that found on HDL particles in serum, and distinguish APOL1 from apolipoproteins L2, L3, L4 and L6 (APOL2, APOL3, APOL4 and APOL6), and methods of using the same.

Disclosed is an isolated monoclonal antibody that specifically binds human 4-1BB, or the antigen-binding portion thereof. A nucleic acid molecule encoding the antibody, an expression vector, a host cell and a method for expressing the antibody are also provided. The present disclosure further provides a bispecific molecule, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody or the bispecific molecule, as well as a treatment method using an anti-4-1BB antibody of the disclosure.

The present application is directed to an anti-Adrenomedullin (ADM) antibody or anti-ADM antibody fragment or anti-ADM non-Ig scaffold for use in the treatment or prevention of shock in a patient, wherein said patient is characterized by having a level of dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) in a sample of bodily fluid below a threshold and said anti-ADM antibody or anti-ADM fragment or anti-ADM non-Ig scaffold binds to the N-terminal part (amino acid 1-21) of ADM: YRQSMNNFQGLRSFGCRFGTC (SEQ ID No. 14).

The present disclosure provides isolated binding molecules that bind to and blocks PD-L1, vectors comprising a nucleic acid molecules encoding an amino acid sequence of the binding molecules, host cells containing the vectors, methods of making the binding molecules, pharmaceutical compositions containing the binding molecules, and methods of using such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, including methods of treating a disease requiring stimulation of immune responses including cancer.

Humanized, mouse or chimeric anti-CD47 monoclonal antibodies are provided. The antibodies bind to human glycosylated and deglycosylated CD47 with an optimized Koff value, they disrupt the human CD47-SIRPα interaction, and find use in various therapeutic, preventive or diagnostic methods. The invention includes isolated antibodies and derivatives and fragments thereof, pharmaceutical formulations comprising one or more of the humanized or chimeric anti-CD47 monoclonal antibodies; and cell lines that produce these monoclonal antibodies. Also provided are amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the antibodies.

Pharmaceutical composition comprising antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof that bind to Globo H, stage-specific embryonic antigen 3 (SSEA-3) and stage-specific embryonic antigen 4 (SSEA-4) are disclosed herein, as well as methods of use thereof. Methods of use include, without limitation, cancer therapies and diagnostics. The antibodies of the disclosure can bind to certain cancer cell surfaces. Exemplary targets of the antibodies disclosed herein can include carcinomas, such as sarcoma, skin cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, brain cancer, glioblastoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, oral cancer, head-and-neck cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophagus cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, bile duct cancer, gallbladder cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, intestinal cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, cervix cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, testical cancer, buccal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer and prostate cancer.

The present invention provides anti-C1q antibodies and methods of using the same.
