A lipidated secondary antibody is disclosed. Particles comprising same are also disclosed.

A multispecific antibody is provided. The antibody comprising a first moiety, which binds and activates CD40, a second moiety, which specifically binds a dendritic cell (DC) and a third moiety comprising a modified Fc region of the multispecific antibody for enhancing specificity and affinity of binding to FcγRIIb and uses of same.

Immunostimulatory fusion molecules that include an immune cell targeting moiety and a cytokine molecule, pharmaceutical and formulations thereof, and methods of using and making the same, are disclosed.

A method for reversing immune suppression or immune exhaustion or for treating a disease associated with immune suppression includes: administering a composition to a subject in need of such treatments, wherein the composition contains a CD11b modulator that binds specifically to CD11b on a cell to inhibit PD-L1 expression. The CD11b modulator is an antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof, or a compound as described.

The present invention relates to a blocking-reagent for use in reducing unspecific T cell activation in T cell engaging therapies. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical kit of parts and an in vitro method for evaluating unspecific T cell activation.

The present invention is based on the finding that CD11b signaling inhibits immune suppression, modulates neovascularization and promotes anti-tumor immune responses in models of murine and human cancer. As such, provided herein are methods of treating cancer using an antibody, protein or small molecule that modulates CD11b activity or expression. Also provided are methods of identifying cancer that is amenable to such treatment and/or increasing susceptibility of cancer cells to treatment with a chemotherapeutic agent.

Antibodies to human CD11d, compositions comprising such CD11d antibodies, and methods of using such CD11d antibodies for the treatment of central nervous system trauma including spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury, as well as systemic inflammatory response following central nervous system trauma.

The present disclosure is directed, in some embodiments, to methods and compositions of comprising a cell having a non-internalizing receptor, and a nanoparticle surface-modified with a ligand that binds to the non-internalizing receptor.

The disclosure relates to methods of diagnosis and prognosis, compositions for immunotherapies, methods of improving said compositions, and immunotherapies using the same (e.g., T cells, non-T cells, TCR-based therapies, CAR-based therapies, bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), and/or immune checkpoint blockade).

The CD40L/Mac-1 interaction is selectively targeted by small peptide inhibitors and/or antibodies and such peptides are used for the specific treatment of inflammation and atherogenesis. In particular, pharmaceutical compositions comprising a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence EQLKKSKTL and antibodies specifically binding to an epitope are disclosed.
