Neutralizing anti-influenza binding molecules and uses thereof

Binding molecules, including bispecific antibodies that include at least two anti-influenza binding domains are disclosed, including binding molecules having a first binding domain that specifically binds influenza A virus and a second binding domain that specifically binds influenza B virus.

Bispecific T cell activating antigen binding molecules

The present invention generally relates to novel bispecific antigen binding molecules for T cell activation and re-direction to specific target cells. In addition, the present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding such bispecific antigen binding molecules, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further relates to methods for producing the bispecific antigen binding molecules of the invention, and to methods of using these bispecific antigen binding molecules in the treatment of disease.

METHOD FOR GENERATING MULTISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES FROM MONOSPECIFIC ANTIBODIES

Herein is reported a method for the generation of multispecific antibodies by a half-antibody exchange reaction between two 2/3-IgGs destabilized in one half by asymmetric perturbing mutations fostering the generation of correctly assemble full length bispecific antibodies. The method can be performed in the absence of reducing agents and does not require hinge region disulfide bonds in the starting 2/3-IgGs.

IMMUNOTOXIN CONJUGATES FOR USE IN THERAPY

The present invention relates to conjugates comprising an immunotoxin linked to a therapeutic agent, wherein said immunotoxin comprises a binding domain fused to an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylating toxin, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said conjugates, and methods for the preparation of said immunotoxins.

BISPECIFIC T CELL ACTIVATING ANTIGEN BINDING MOLECULES

The present invention generally relates to novel bispecific antigen binding molecules for T cell activation and re-direction to specific target cells. In addition, the present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding such bispecific antigen binding molecules, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further relates to methods for producing the bispecific antigen binding molecules of the invention, and to methods of using these bispecific antigen binding molecules in the treatment of disease.

Method for the selection of antibodies against BCMA

An antibody specifically binding to human BCMA, characterized in that the binding of said antibody is not reduced by APRIL and not reduced by BAFF, said antibody does not alter APRIL-dependent NF-B activation, BAFF-dependent NF-B activation, and does not alter NF-B activation without BAFF and APRIL is useful as a therapeutic agent.

Antagonists targeting the TGF-β pathway

Antitumor antagonists that bind specifically to immune checkpoint regulators, angiogenesis pathway regulators and/or TGF pathway regulators are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for treating proliferative disorders, infections, and immunological disorders with the antitumor antagonists described herein.

Depletion of Light Chain Mispaired Antibody Variants By Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography

The present invention relates to methods for separating multispecific CrossMab antibodies from light chain mispaired variants thereof in a solution comprising CrossMab bispecific antibodies and mispaired antibody variants thereof by hydrophobic interaction chromatography.

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.

Method for increasing the percentage of monomeric antibody Fab-dsFv multimeric species

The present invention provides method for increasing the percentage of monomer in a composition of recombinantly expressed antibody molecules characterised in that the antibody molecule comprises at least one Fv with specificity for an antigen of interest comprising one VH and one VL wherein said VH and VL are connected directly or indirectly via one or more linkers and are stabilised by a disulfide bond therebetween, said method comprises a) a thermal conversion step of holding the composition comprising the antibody molecule at a temperature in the range 30 to 60 C. for a period of at least 1 hour, wherein step a) is performed in the presence of a reducing agent or after treatment with a reducing agent.
