Compositions and methods for treating cancer

The present invention relates to antigen-binding compounds that inhibit the enzymatic activity of soluble human CD39. The invention also relates to cells producing such compounds; methods of making such compounds, and antibodies, fragments, variants, and derivatives thereof; pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same; methods of using the compounds to diagnose, treat or prevent diseases, e.g., cancer.

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING STAPHYLOCOCCAL INFECTIONS

The current disclosure provides novel compositions for treating bacterial infections. Accordingly, aspects of the disclosure relate to an engineered antibody comprising: LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3 of the light chain variable region of the 3F6 antibody and HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3 of the heavy chain variable region of the 3F6 antibody. Also provided are compositions comprising the antibodies and nucleic acids encoding either the heavy chain or light chain (or both) of the antibodies. Other aspects relate to host cells comprising the antibodies and/or nucleic acids of the disclosure. Further aspects relate to a method of preventing or treating staphylococcal infection comprising the step of administering the antibody of the disclosure to a subject in need thereof. Yet further aspects relate to a method of making the antibody comprising expressing the nucleic acid(s) of the disclosure in a cell and isolating the expressed protein.

POPULATION OF ANTIBODIES COMPRISING HOMOGENEOUS ANTIBODIES EACH HAVING LEFT-RIGHT ASYMMETRIC SUGAR CHAINS, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

A population of antibodies including homogeneous antibodies in which N-linked complex sugar chains attached to asparagine (Asn) at position 297 of CH domains of Fc regions of two heavy chains on the left and the right of each antibody are sugar chains structurally different from each other is described as well as a method of producing the population of antibodies.

Manufacturing Methods for Producing Anti-IL12/IL23 Antibody Compositions

The present disclosure relates to methods of manufacture for producing anti-IL-12/IL-23p40 antibodies, e.g., the anti-IL-12/IL-23p40 antibody ustekinumab, and specific pharmaceutical compositions of the antibody.

Manufacturing Methods for Producing Anti-TNF Antibody Compositions

The present invention relates to methods of manufacture for producing anti-TNF antibodies, e.g., the anti-TNF antibody golimumab, and specific pharmaceutical compositions of the antibody.

ANTIBODIES TARGETING, AND OTHER MODULATORS OF, THE CD276 ANTIGEN, AND USES THEREOF

The invention pertains to antibodies or other antigen binding proteins targeting the CD276 antigen, also known as B7-H3. The invention provides an improved set of antibodies which bind at new positions within the CD276 antigen and are of particular use as therapeutics in the treatment of CD276 positive cancer. Further the invention provides antibody conjugate and bispecific antibodies which were developed on basis of the novel anti-CD276 antibodies of the invention. Furthermore, the invention discloses the therapeutic use of the antibodies and other modulators in the treatment of CD276 positive cancer. Finally, the nucleic acid constructs encoding the molecules of the invention, recombinant cells expressing them, as well as particular uses and methods are provided.

Antibodies against TIM3 and uses thereof

Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that bind to T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (TIM3) protein. Also provided are uses of these antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, in therapeutic applications, such as treatment of cancer. Further provided are cells that produce the antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain regions of the antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, and vectors comprising the polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain regions of the antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof.

ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELL TARGETED CANCER VACCINES

The present invention includes compositions and methods for the expression, secretion and use of novel compositions for use as, e.g., vaccines and antigen delivery vectors, to delivery antigens to antigen presenting cells. In one embodiment, the vector is an anti-CD40 antibody, or fragments thereof, and one or more antigenic peptides linked to the anti-CD40 antibody or fragments thereof, including humanized antibodies.

Human Anti-Tau Antibodies

Provided are novel human tau-specific antibodies as well as fragments, derivatives and variants thereof as well as methods related thereto. Assays, kits, and solid supports related to antibodies specific for tau are also disclosed. The antibody, immunoglobulin chain(s), as well as binding fragments, derivatives and variants thereof can be used in pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions for tau targeted immunotherapy and diagnosis, respectively.
