The present invention relates to CX3CR1-binding polypeptides, in particular polypeptides comprising specific immunoglobulin domains. The invention also relates to nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides; to methods for preparing such polypeptides; to host cells expressing or capable of expressing such polypeptides; to compositions comprising such polypeptides; and to uses of such polypeptides or such compositions, in particular for prophylactic, therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.

The invention relates to an immune cell that is capable of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and which comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a secreted antigen binding protein. The invention also concerns a method of producing the immune cell and medical uses for the immune cell.

Disclosed herein are antibodies that specifically bind and inhibit the action of the IL-6 family member LIF that are useful in the treatment of cancer. Also disclosed herein are uses of said antibodies for the treatment of cancer.

This document provides methods and materials for assessing a mammal having or suspected of having cancer and/or for treating a mammal having cancer. For example, molecules including one or more antigen-binding domains (e.g., a single-chain variable fragment (scFv)) that can bind to a modified peptide (e.g., a tumor antigen), as well as method for using such molecules, are provided.

Described herein are single-domain antibodies that might serve as alternatives to conventional monoclonal antibodies for either the detection or treatment of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV).

The present invention relates to methods for developing engineered T-cells for immunotherapy that are non-alloreactive. The present invention relates to methods for modifying T-cells by inactivating both genes encoding T-cell receptor and an immune checkpoint gene to unleash the potential of the immune response. This method involves the use of specific rare cutting endonucleases, in particular TALE-nucleases (TAL effector endonuclease) and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides, to precisely target a selection of key genes in T-cells, which are available from donors or from culture of primary cells. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies for treating cancer and viral infections.

The invention describes anti-cancer therapies comprising using an LRP5 antagonist in combination with an anti-PD1 antibody, each as described herein.

Provided herein are libraries containing polynucleotides, where one of the polynucleotides encodes an antibody heavy chain with specific hypervariable regions HVR-H1 and HVR-H2. Further provided herein are libraries containing polynucleotides encoding a plurality of unique antibodies, wherein each antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region. Also provided are antibodies, polypeptide libraries, vector libraries, cells, non-human animals, antibody heavy chains, methods of making an antibody library, kits, and methods of generating a bispecific antibody related thereto.

Provided herein are anti-CD 19 antibodies and multi-specific binding proteins that bind CD 19, CD3, and serum albumin. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies or multi-specific binding proteins, expression vectors and host cells for making these antibodies or multi-specific binding proteins, and methods of use of these antibodies or multi-specific binding proteins in treating cancers.

Methods of decreasing shedding of CD28, decreasing soluble CD28 levels, treating cancer and improving immunotherapies comprising inhibiting matrix metalloproteases are provided. Methods of producing agents for performance of the methods of the invention are also provided.
