The present invention provides novel antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that bind to human CD30. Also presented are single chain variable antibodies, chimeric antigen receptors and uses thereof. Methods of treating cancer are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) directed against Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 (LILRB2), pharmaceutical compositions comprising

The present invention provides binding proteins, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments, which specifically bind to human IL-36 cytokines, IL-36α, IL-36β, and/or IL-36γ, and block the IL-36 stimulated signaling pathways. Compositions comprising such binding proteins and methods of making and using such binding proteins are also provided.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing inflammation in the lungs of a mammal that is afflicted by a condition that leads to inflammation in the lungs. The compositions and methods described herein include agents that inhibit inflammasome signaling in the mammal such as antibodies directed against inflammasome components used alone or in combination with extracellular vesicle uptake inhibitor(s).

Disclosed herein are antibodies capable of binding to plasma kallikrein and inhibit its activity. Such antibodies interact with one or more critical residues in the catalytic domain of the plasma kallikrein. The antibodies may also contain specific heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDRs) motifs and optionally specific residues at certain positions within both the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region.

Hidradenitis suppurativa can be treated by administering a pharmaceutical composition that includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that selectively binds IL-1α.

Method for the treatment of virus infection with IVIG and convalescent plasma. Methods and compositions for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a patient in need thereof, including administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of intravenous Immunoglobulin G (IVIG) in an amount of about 0.5 g/kg to about 8 g/kg. Methods and compositions for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a patient in need thereof, including administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma, wherein the convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma is treated with methylene blue for pathogen inactivation.

Various aspects of the present invention relate to a method of treating cancer in a subject having cancer cells, wherein the cancer cells possess at least one growth hormone receptor, and wherein the method includes controlling an action of the growth hormone receptor. In various non-limiting embodiments, controlling an action of the growth hormone receptor may occur via knock down of the growth hormone receptor, or may be caused by inhibiting growth hormone action, such as via the use of antibodies directed against growth hormone or the growth hormone receptor. Methods may also relate to administering an antagonist of the growth hormone receptor, and administering at least one anti-tumor drug in concert with administration of the antagonist. Another aspect may include a method of maintaining an anti-tumor drug in cancer cells of a subject by controlling an action of at least one growth hormone receptor in the cancer cells.

The present invention relates to methods of preventing, treating or managing, reducing the risk of stroke or thromboembolism in a subject afflicted with end stage renal disease comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a monoclonal antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof that bind to human Factor XI and/or activated Factor XI (“Factor XIa”).

Molecular determinants of cancer response to immunotherapy are described, as are systems and tools for identifying and/or characterizing cancers likely to respond to immunotherapy.
