ANTIBODIES AGAINST INTEGRIN ALPHA 11 BETA 1

The present disclosure includes antibodies that specifically bind integrin alpha 11 beta 1 (α11β1), as well as methods of making and using such antibodies.

NOVEL ANTI-FGFR2B ANTIBODIES
20230052256 · 2023-02-16 ·

Provided are anti-FGFR2b antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, isolated polynucleotides encoding the same, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and the uses thereof.

NR4A-DEFICIENT CELLS EXPRESSING C-JUN AND USES THEREOF
20230052243 · 2023-02-16 · ·

The present disclosure provides methods of promoting a persistent effector function of immune cells, comprising modifying the cells to overexpress c-Jun and reduced levels of a NR4A gene and/or protein. Also provided are modified cells, e.g., immune cell, which have been modified to overexpress c-Jun and express reduced levels of NR4A gene and/or protein. Overexpressing c-Jun and simultaneously reducing expression levels of a NR4A gene and/or protein leads to exhaustion/dysfunction resistant cells, which are apoptosis resistant and also immune checkpoint resistant, and also to the maintenance of anti-tumor function in tumor microenvironments.

Designed ankyrin repeat domains with altered surface residues

The present invention relates to designed ankyrin repeat domains with altered surface residues, as well as to proteins comprising such a designed ankyrin repeat domain, nucleic acids encoding such domains or proteins, methods of preparing such proteins, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such proteins or nucleic acids, and the use of such proteins, nucleic acids or pharmaceutical compositions in the treatment of diseases.

Polynucleotides encoding death domain-containing receptor-5 (DR5) binding molecules

This disclosure provides dimeric, pentameric, and hexameric Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) superfamily receptor protein binding molecules and methods of using such binding molecules to direct apoptosis-mediated killing of TNF receptor-expressing cells.

Bispecific antibodies against HER2 and CD3

Bispecific antibodies which comprise one antigen-binding region binding to an epitope of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and one antigen-binding region binding to human CD3, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and methods for preparing and using the antibodies are also disclosed.

Anti-Fc epsilon-R1 alpha (FcεR1α) antibodies, bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind FcεR1α and CD3, and uses thereof

The present invention provides novel full-length human antibodies that bind to human Fc epsilon-R1 alpha (monospecific antibodies). The present invention also provides novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both Fc epsilon-R1 alpha and CD3 and activate T cells via the CD3 complex in the presence of Fc epsilon-R1 alpha-expressing cells. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced Fc epsilon-R1 alpha-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the bispecific antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of allergies, including anaphylaxis.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising a CD19-binding domain

There is provided a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising a CD19-binding domain which comprises a) a heavy chain variable region (VH) having complementarity determining regions (CDRs) with the following sequences: CDR1—GY-AFSSS (SEQ ID No. 1); CDR2—YPGDED (SEQ ID No. 2) CDR3—SLLYGDYLDY (SEQ ID No. 3); and b) a light chain variable region (VL) having CDRs with the following sequences: CDR1—SASSSVSYMH (SEQ ID No. 4); CDR2—DTSKLAS (SEQ ID No. 5) CDR3—QQWNINPLT (SEQ ID No. 6). There is also provided a cell comprising such a CAR, and the use of such a cell in the treatment of cancer, in particular a B cell malignancy.

Chimeric antigen receptors based on alternative signal 1 domains

Described herein are methods for producing and utilizing an alternative signal 1 domain to construct an optimally signaling CAR. Alternative signal 1 domains of the present technology are based on alternatives to CD3ζ, including mutated ITAMs from CD3ζ (which contains 3 IT AM motifs), truncations of CD3ζ, and alternative splice variants known as CD3s, CD3 theta, and artificial constructs engineered to express fusions between CD3s or CD30 and CD3ζ. CAR polypeptides comprising alternative signal 1 domains are utilized to engineer CAR T cells. Further, this technology related to methods of treating cancer by administering to a subject in need thereof CAR T cells comprising alternative signal 1 domains.

ANTIBODIES HAVING SPECIFICITY TO HER4 AND USES THEREOF

The present invention relates to antibodies having specificity to HER4 and uses thereof, which are able to induce biased 4ICD routing/signaling. The inventors have isolated by antibody phage display three fully human anti-HER4 single-chain variable antibody fragment (scFv), selected on human HER4 extracellular domain, referred as C6 mAb, D5 mAb and F4 mAb and one fully human anti-HER4 scFv named H2 mAb, selected on NRG 1β1-stimulated EGFR/HER4 JMaCYT1-transfected NIH3T3 cells. In particular, the present invention relates to an isolated anti-HER4 antibody, wherein said antibody binds to an epitope of the HER4 protein.
