The present invention relates to novel multispecific antigen binding proteins that are capable of binding to multiple targets. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the multispecific antigen binding proteins as well as methods for producing them are also disclosed.

The disclosure is directed to dual variable domain immunoglobulin double-stranded RNA conjugates that are advantageous for inhibition of target gene expression, as well as compositions suitable for therapeutic use. The dual variable domain immunoglobulin comprises a first variable domain that binds to a binding target, and a second variable domain that comprises a reactive residue, where the linker is covalently conjugated to the reactive residue. The dsRNA is linked to the linker and is capable of inhibiting the expression of the target gene by RNA interference. The disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these conjugate and methods of inhibiting the expression of a target gene by administering these conjugates, e.g., for the treatment of various disease conditions.

The present application relates to recombinant antibodies that are engineered to alter interactions between the antibodies and one or more endogenous lipases of a host cell used to produce the antibodies. In some cases, the antibodies are mutated in the heavy chain constant region, such as at CH1, CH2, and/or CH3. In other cases, the antibodies are mutated to alter their glycosylation profile.

Expression of lambda antibody light chain with non-native leader sequence, wherein light chain is sequence-engineered to restore native N terminus. Immunoglobulin lambda variable domain sequence comprising N terminal deletion for expression with non-native N terminal signal peptide.

The present invention relates to an immunocytokine comprising an heterodimeric protein complex based on IL-15/IL-15Rα, and to use thereof as a therapeutic agent, in particular as an agent for the treatment of cancer and an autoimmune disease. The present invention further relates to an immunocytokine comprising a heterodimeric protein complex based on an IL-15/IL-15Rα and an immunomodulatory antibody, and to use thereof as a therapeutic agent, in particular as an agent for the treatment of cancer and an autoimmune disease.

Provided herein are novel anti-CD28×anti-B7H3 (also referred to as “αCD28×αB7H3”) heterodimeric bispecific antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of cancers. Subject αCD28×αB7H3 antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and targeting to B7H3 on tumor cells. Thus, such antibodies selectively enhance anti-tumor activity at tumor sites while minimizing peripheral toxicity. The subject antibodies provided herein are particularly useful for enhancing anti-tumor activity when used in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.

Improved anti-CD154 antibodies are provided herein which have ablated FcR binding and/or complement binding/activation. The use of these antibodies for inducing tolerance and treating immune diseases including autoimmunity, inflammation and allergic disorders is disclosed herein.

The present invention provides fully IgG bi-specific antibodies comprising designed residues in the interface of the heavy chain-heavy chain (C.sub.H3/C.sub.H3) domains, processes for preparing said fully IgG bi-specific antibodies, and nucleic acids, vectors and host cells encoding the same.

Provided herein are chimeric transmembrane proteins and proteins, nucleic acids encoding these chimeric transmembrane proteins or proteins, and mammalian cells containing these nucleic acids, and methods of making and using these mammalian cells.

Antigen binding molecules (ABMs) comprising Fab domains in non-native configurations, ABM conjugates comprising the ABMs and cytotoxic or cytostatic agents, pharmaceutical compositions containing the ABMs and ABM conjugates, methods of using the ABMs, ABM conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions for treating cancer, nucleic acids encoding the ABMs, cells engineered to express the ABMs, and methods of producing ABMs.
