Amino acid sequences directed against envelope proteins of a virus and polypeptides comprising the same for the treatment of viral diseases
The present invention relates in part to amino acid sequences that are directed against and/or that can specifically bind to an envelope protein of a virus, as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences.
Antibodies to IL-6 and use thereof
The present invention is directed to antibodies and fragments thereof and humanized versions thereof having binding specificity for IL-6. Another embodiment of this invention relates to the antibodies described herein, and binding fragments thereof, comprising the sequences of the V.sub.H, V.sub.L and CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them. The invention also contemplates conjugates of anti-IL-6 antibodies and binding fragments thereof conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. The invention also contemplates methods of making said anti-IL-6 antibodies and binding fragments thereof. Embodiments of the invention also pertain to the use of anti-IL-6 antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, for the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with IL-6. These antibodies may bind at least one of soluble IL-6, cell surface expressed IL-6, IL-6/IL-6R and/or prevent the association of IL-6 and IL-6R, the association of IL-6/IL-6R and gp130 and or the formation of IL-6/IL-6R/gp130 multimers and thereby inhibit a biological effect associated with any of the foregoing.
ACTIVATABLE POLYPEPTIDE COMPLEX
The present disclosure relates to activatable anti-EGFR, anti-CD3, heteromultimeric bispecific polypeptide complexes (HBPCs) and methods of making and using the same.
ASYMMETRIC MULTISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES
The present invention relates to multispecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, and methods for the isolation or purification of the same. The antibodies of the invention comprise first and second heavy chain-light chain pairings wherein each pairing comprises a distinct selective recognition site including one or more amino acid residues contributed from the heavy chain and the light chain of the pairing. The first and second selective recognition sites differ by at least one amino acid residue and can be differentially bound by first and second selective recognition agents according to the methods of the invention. Such methods facilitate the production of antibody preparations enriched for multispecific antibodies having the correct functional heavy chain-light chain pairings.
Fusion Protein Comprising Three Binding Domains to 5T4 and CD3
The present invention relates to a bispecific binding molecule comprising three binding domains, wherein a first and/or a second binding domain are capable of binding to the extracellular 5T4 antigen and the remaining binding domain(s) is (are) capable of binding to the CD3 receptor complex on T cells. Moreover, the invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence encoding fusion protein, a vector comprising said nucleic acid sequence and a host cell transformed or transfected with said vector. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for the production of the fusion protein of the invention, a medical use of said fusion protein and a kit comprising said fusion protein.
Bispecific antigen binding proteins
The present invention relates to bispecific antigen binding proteins, methods for their production, pharmaceutical compositions containing said antibodies, and uses thereof.
Heterodimeric antibodies that bind CD3 and tumor antigens
The present invention is directed to novel heterodimeric antibodies.
BISPECIFIC BINDING PROTEINS
The present disclosure provides bispecific proteins that bind to two antigens, as well as their compositions, uses, and methods of making.
Dual specificity antibody fusions
The present invention provides dual specificity antibody fusion proteins comprising an antibody Fab or Fab′ fragment with specificity for an antigen of interest, said fragment being fused to at least one single domain antibody which has specificity for a second antigen of interest.
Anti-TNF/IFN scFv-Fc bispecific antibody and uses thereof
Disclosed is anti-TNF/IFN scFv-Fc bispecific antibody and a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, the composition containing the antibody. The bispecific antibody has a structure in which an Fc fragment is conjugated to an scFv bispecific antibody. Thus, a purification process thereof may be easy. The bispecific antibody may effectively and simultaneously conjugate to TNF-α and IFN-γ which independently play an important role in inducing Crohn's disease. Thus, the bispecific antibody may exhibit excellent effects in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease including Crohn's disease.
