The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for making and using engineered killer phagocytic cells for immunotherapy in cancer or infection by expressing a chimeric antigen receptor having an enhanced phagocytic activity, the chimeric receptor is encoded by a recombinant nucleic acid.

The present application provides constructs comprising an antibody moiety specifically recognizing Glypican 3 (GPC3), such as a cell surface-bound GPC3. Also provided are methods of making and using these constructs.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for enhancing the immune response toward cancers and pathogens. It relates to chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) comprising a mutated CD28 intracellular motif, and cells comprising such CARs. The presently disclosed subject matter further relates to the use of said cells for treating diseases, e.g., for treating cancers.

The invention provides novel light-switchable CAR T-cells that can be remotely controlled through NIR-light-converting upconvension nanoparticles, and related CAR T constructs, nanoparticles, compositions and methods thereof for optogenetic therapy.

The invention provides monoclonal antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof specific for TNFR2, and methods of using the same to treat cancer or autoimmune disorder, including combination therapy with antagonists of the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint.

The invention refers to an anti-oxMIF/anti-CD3 antibody comprising at least one binding site specifically recognizing oxMIF and one binding site specifically recognizing CD3, which is an IgG wherein a scFv is fused to only one of the two heavy IgG chains, an IgG wherein one Fab arm is replaced by a bispecific-T-cell-engager (BiTE), or an IgG wherein both Fab arms are replaced by scFvs with different binding specificities, and its use in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, specifically in the treatment of cancer.

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.

Described herein are antibody constructs comprising a 41-1BB binding domain and an antigen-binding domain that binds to a tumor-associated antigen (TAA), wherein the 4-1BB-binding domain and the TAA antigen-binding domain are linked directly or indirectly to a scaffold. The scaffold may be an Fc construct with modifications that reduce its ability to mediate effector function.

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 present invention relates to compositions and methods for the treatment and prevention of thrombogenic-related diseases and disorders. The compositions may comprise antigen-binding fragments that prevent platelet activation by either blocking Fc.sub.γRIIa binding on platelets, neutrophils and monocytes, or neutralising platelet factor 4.
