Human antibodies to Ebola virus glycoprotein

The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to Ebola virus glycoproteins, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and methods of use. The antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing Ebola virus activity, thus providing a means of treating or preventing Ebola virus infection in humans. In some embodiments, the invention provides for use of one or more antibodies that bind to the Ebola virus for preventing viral attachment and/or entry into host cells. The antibodies of the invention may be used prophylactically or therapeutically and may be used alone or in combination with one or more other anti-viral agents or vaccines.

FC VARIANTS WITH REDUCED EFFECTOR FUNCTION

The present invention provides Fc variants and polypeptides, e.g., antibodies and Fc fusion proteins, comprising such Fc variants. In particular, Fc variants with diminished effector function as a consequence of hinge region and CH2 domain mutations, e.g., LALE-PG, are provided. Such variants maintain antigen-binding and favorable developability profiles and may display improved expressability.

High Concentration Bispecific Antibody Formulations
20220395573 · 2022-12-15 ·

Provided herein are stable aqueous pharmaceutical compositions comprising high concentration formulations of a bispecific epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met) antibody and methods of preparing the same. Also provided herein are methods of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof by subcutaneously administering to the subject the stable aqueous pharmaceutical compositions as disclosed herein.

Methods of inhibiting MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a subject suffering from catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome

In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a living subject suffering from, or at risk for developing a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation. In some embodiments, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent inhibits cellular injury associated with MASP-2-mediated alternative complement pathway activation, while leaving the classical (C1q-dependent) pathway component of the immune system intact.

Binding molecules specific for CD73 and uses thereof

The present disclosure provides anti-CD73 binding molecules, e.g., antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof. Also provided are pharmaceutical formulations comprising the disclosed compositions, and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with CD73-expression, e.g., cancer. Such diseases can be treated, e.g., by direct therapy with the anti-CD73 binding molecules disclosed herein (e.g., naked antibodies or antibody-drug conjugates that bind CD73), by adjuvant therapy with other antigen-binding anticancer agents such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies), and/or by combination therapies where the anti-CD73 molecules are administered before, after, or concurrently with chemotherapy.

Antibody fab and Fc variants

The present invention relates to modified antibodies. In particular, the present invention relates to recombinant monoclonal antibodies having altered ability to induce direct cell death and effector function. In addition, the present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding such antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules. The invention further relates to methods for producing the antibodies of the invention, and to methods of using these antibodies in treatment of disease.

ANTIGEN-BINDING MOLECULE FOR PROMOTING ELIMINATION OF ANTIGENS

The present inventors created antigen-binding molecules containing an antigen-binding domain and an Fcγ-receptor-binding domain, wherein the molecules have human-FcRn-binding activity in an acidic pH range condition, the antigen-binding domain changes the antigen-binding activity of the antigen-binding molecules depending on the ion-concentration condition, and the Fcγ receptor-binding domain has higher binding activity to the Fcγ receptor in a neutral pH range condition than an Fc region of a native human IgG in which the sugar chain bound at position 297 (EU numbering) is a fucose-containing sugar chain.

ANTIBODIES FOR CHELATED RADIONUCLIDES

The present application relates to antibodies which bind specifically to chelated radionuclides, including bispecific antibodies. It further relates to the use of such bispecific antibodies in applications such as radioimmunoimaging and radioimmunotherapy. It additionally relates to clearing agents and compositions useful in such methods. The chelated radionuclides may be a DOTAM-lead (Pb) chelate.

ENGINEERING CHARGE PAIR MUTATIONS FOR PAIRING OF HETERO-IgG MOLECULES
20220389119 · 2022-12-08 ·

The present invention relates to heterodimers comprising antibody CH3 domains and mutations useful for the facilitation of the formation of heterodimers. Methods of optimizing purification of the heterodimers at certain pHs in also disclosed.

ANTI-EPHA10 ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

Provided herein are agents, such as antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, or chimeric antigen receptors, that target EphA10. Methods of treating cancer are provided, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of an EphA10-targeting agent. The patient may be selected for treatment if the cancer expresses an increased level of EphA10.
