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.

The present invention relates to modified antibodies. In particular, the present invention relates to recombinant monoclonal antibodies having altered ability to induce direct cell death and effector function. In addition, the present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding such antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules. The invention further relates to methods for producing the antibodies of the invention, and to methods of using these antibodies in treatment of disease.

Disclosed are P. gingivalis antibodies raised against a chimeric or fusion protein, wherein the chimeric or fusion protein comprises a first peptide joined directly or through a linker to a second peptide or polypeptide, wherein (A) the first peptide comprises a region of a P. gingivalis trypsin-like enzyme and (B) the second peptide or polypeptide comprises an adhesin domain of P. gingivalis.

The present disclosure relates to an isolated anti-FcRn antibody, which is an antibody binding to FcRn (stands for neonatal Fc receptor, also called FcRP, FcRB or Brambell receptor) that is a receptor with a high affinity for IgG or a fragment thereof, a method of preparing thereof, a composition for treating autoimmune disease, which comprises the antibody, and a method of treating and diagnosing autoimmune diseases using the antibody. The FcRn-specific antibody according to the present disclosure binds to FcRn non-competitively with IgG to reduce serum pathogenic auto-antibody levels, and thus can be used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

This disclosure provides novel broadly neutralizing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. The disclosed anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies constitute a novel therapeutic strategy in protection from SARS-CoV-2 infections.

The invention provides antibodies that specifically bind to transthyretin (TTR). The antibodies can be used for treating or effecting prophylaxis of diseases or disorders associated with TTR accumulation or accumulation of TTR deposits (e.g., TTR amyloidosis). The antibodies can also be used for diagnosing TTR amyloidosis and inhibiting or reducing aggregation of TTR, among other applications.

Pharmaceutical preparations containing polypeptides having particular sialylation patterns, and methods for the treatment of immune-related thrombocytopenia with such preparations, are described.

The invention provides a method of treating a patient having target cells that express FcγRIIb, the method comprising administering (i) an antibody molecule that specifically binds a surface antigen of the target cell, which antibody molecule has an Fc domain capable of binding FcγRIIb; in combination with (ii) an agent that prevents or reduces binding between the Fc domain of the antibody molecule and FcγRIIb; characterized in that the patient is selected on the basis that their target cells express an elevated level of FcγRIIb.

The present invention provides for recombinant Endo-D and selected mutants that exhibit reduced hydrolysis activity and increased transglycosylation activity for the synthesis of glycoproteins wherein a desired sugar chain is added to a core fucosylated or nonfucosylated GlcNAc-protein acceptor by transglycosylation. Such recombinant Endo-D and selected mutants are useful for efficient glycosylation remodeling of IgG1-Fc domain.

The present invention provides heterodimeric antibodies and fragments thereof and methods for their preparation, wherein the pairing of heavy and light chains has been improved. Interface residues were mutated such that each light chain strongly favoured its cognate heavy chain when two different heavy chains and two different light chains were co-transfected and co-expressed in the same cell to assemble a functional, heterodimeric antibody or fragment thereof.
