The invention further provides chimeric antigen receptors, nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibodies of the invention or the chimeric antigen receptors, vectors, cells and methods/uses of the antibodies and chimeric antigen receptors.

Provided are a method of efficiently producing an sIL-2R antigen in an amount necessary for antibody generation, and a method of producing an anti-sIL-2R antibody using the antigen. Specifically, provided are a method of producing soluble interleukin-2 receptor, including culturing SCC-3 cells and recovering soluble interleukin-2 receptor from a culture of the cells, and a method of producing an anti-soluble interleukin-2 receptor antibody, including immunizing an animal with sIL-2R produced by the method.

The present invention concerns a method for treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in an individual, and/or for inducing an immune response to HER2/neu in an individual with a triple-negative breast cancer expressing low levels of HER2/neu, the method comprising administering to the individual: (a) an effective amount of trastuzumab, or derivative thereof; and (b) an effective amount of nelipepimut-S, or variant thereof, optionally with an immunological adjuvant. Preferably, the method includes a preparatory or priming phase comprising a frequency and duration of trastuzumab or trastuzumab derivative administration sufficient to substantially increase the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mediated presentation of HER2 peptide fragments to the patient immune system. The invention also includes medicaments and kits for treating TNBC in an individual, and/or for inducing an immune response to HER2/neu in an individual with a TNBC expressing HER2/neu.

Provided herein are compositions, methods, and uses involving antibodies that immunospecifically bind glycosylated forms of MUC16, a tethered mucin protein. Also provided herein are uses and methods for managing, treating, or preventing disorders, such as cancer.

The present invention provides methods of testing anti-STn antibodies for their ability target cancer stem cells by isolating cancer stem cells from cultures, contacting them with anti-STn antibodies being tested, and measuring resulting cell viability.

Compositions and methods for treating ovarian cancer are provided. Methods include combined treatment with chemotherapeutic agents and anti-STn antibodies. Chemotherapy resistant ovarian cancer cells may be reduced. Chemotherapy resistant ovarian cancer cells may include cancer stem cells.

The present invention provides a chimeric antigen receptor and natural killer cells expressing the same, and particularly, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) which includes an intracellular signaling domain including the whole or a portion of an OX40 ligand (CD252), thereby having excellent effects of increasing anticancer activity of immune cells, and immune cells expressing the same.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for treating or preventing a disease or disorder of the brain, spinal cord or central nervous system. It is described herein that an immunogenic composition which induces a CD4 T cell immune response induces permeability of the blood brain barrier, and allows for the access of a therapeutic antibody or agent to the brain, spinal cord or central nervous system.

Provided herein are antibody conjugates with binding specificity for CD74 and compositions comprising the antibody conjugates, including pharmaceutical compositions, methods of producing the conjugates, and methods of using the conjugates and compositions for therapy.

The present invention provides high-affinity anti-TCR delta variable 1 (anti-Vδ1) antibodies and antibody fragments thereof. The present invention also provides compositions and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies, and method of making such antibodies. The present invention also provides methods of treatment and medical uses involving the antibodies.
