The present disclosure provides human engineered IL-1 beta antibodies, cells and vectors comprising DNA encoding the same, and methods for producing the antibodies. In addition, the present disclosure provides the use of the human engineered IL-1 beta antibodies for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.

The present disclosure provides human T-cell immune response cDNA 7 (TIRC7) antibodies, having improved TIRC7 binding affinity, and/or activity. The TIRC7 antibodies of the invention are generated by mutation of a parent TIRC7 antibody reports most of the humanized candidates, position 43 was Q (Gln, amide). But in the best humanized VH (cAb1466-VH) mutation of position 43 was Q (Gln, amide) to K (Lys, basic) appears to important for successful affinity/stability over the next best humanized VH.

Provided are antibodies that bind specifically to TIGIT or antigen binding fragments of the antibodies and a composition thereof. Also provided are a nucleic acid molecule coding the antibodies or the antigen binding fragments thereof, an expression vector and a host cell for expressing the antibodies or the antigen binding fragments thereof, and therapeutic and diagnostic uses of the antibodies.

The present invention is directed to novel bispecific heterodimeric Fc fusion proteins comprising an IL-15/IL-15Rα Fc-fusion protein and a PD-1 antibody fragment-Fc fusion protein.

Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen binding portions thereof, that bind to glucocorticoid-inducible TNF receptor (GITR). Also provided are uses of these proteins in therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of cancer. Further provided are cells that produce the antibodies, polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies, and vectors comprising the polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies.

The invention relates to new bispecific antigen binding molecules, comprising at least one antigen binding domain capable of specific binding to 4-1BB, at least one moiety capable of specific binding to a target cell antigen, and a Fc domain composed of a first and a second subunit capable of stable association, and to methods of producing these molecules and to methods of using the same.

The present invention relates to methods of using compounds that inhibit the enzymatic activity of soluble human CD39 to treat cancer, including but not limited to the treatment of cancers characterized by CD73 expressing cells.

The present invention is directed to binding molecules that possess one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of CD137, including antibodies, and molecules comprising epitope-binding fragments thereof The invention is further directed to multispecific binding molecules comprising one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of CD137 and one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of a tumor antigen (“TA”) (e.g, a “CD137×TA Binding Molecule”).

This document provides novel compositions and methods utilizing immunomodulating agents that can stimulate or indirectly augment the immune system, or can have an immunosuppressive effect. TNFR25 agonists disclosed herein have an anti-inflammatory and healing effect. They can be used, e.g., to treat disease caused by asthma and chronic inflammation, such as inflammatory bowel diseases including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease. TNFR25 antagonists disclosed herein can inhibit CD8 T cell-mediated cellular immune responses and can, for example, mitigate organ or tissue rejection following a tissue transplantation. TNFR25 agonists disclosed herein represent biological response modifiers that alter the interaction between the body's cellular immune defenses and cancer cells to boost, direct, or restore the body's ability to fight the cancer when given with tumor vaccines. TNFR25 specific immunotoxins disclosed herein are also capable of increasing the effectiveness of a chemotherapeutic regimen by depleting a cancer patient of naturally occurring immunosuppressive cells.

In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an engineered cell having a first chimeric antigen receptor polypeptide including a first antigen recognition domain, a first signal peptide, a first hinge region, a first transmembrane domain, a first co-stimulatory domain, and a first signaling domain; and a second chimeric antigen receptor polypeptide including a second antigen recognition domain, a second signal peptide, a second hinge region, a second transmembrane domain, a second co-stimulatory domain, and a second signaling domain; wherein the first antigen recognition domain is different than the second antigen recognition domain.
