The present disclosure relates to compounds that are useful as near-infrared fluorescence probes, wherein the compounds include i) a ligand that binds to the active site of carbonic anhydrase, ii) a dye molecule, and iii) a linker molecule that comprises an amino acid, amide, ureido, or polyethylene glycol derivative thereof. The disclosure further describes methods and compositions for making and using the compounds, methods incorporating the compounds, and kits incorporating the compounds.

Anti-PD-L1 antibodies are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies, and methods of using such antibodies to restore T-cell function in T-cells exhibiting T-cell exhaustion or T-cell anergy.

The present application relates to a method for diagnosing a glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) deficiency syndrome that utilizes polypeptides derived from the soluble part of the glycoprotein of the enveloped virus of primate T-cell leukemia virus (PTLV). The polypeptides, named receptor binding domain ligands (RBD), are selected for their ability to bind specifically to GLUT1. The method involves determining the level of GLUT 1 expression at the cell surface and comparing the level to a reference value.

The present disclosure relates to antibodies or fragments thereof that target at least one conformational epitope of a Notch 3 or mutant Notch 3 receptor; and compositions and methods of use thereof.

Compositions and methods for characterizing cancer cells by determining a marker of PGK1 activity. For example, methods are provided for predicting a patient response to a PGK1 inhibitor, a MEK/ERK inhibitor, an EGFR inhibitor, or a PIN1 inhibitor therapy. Methods for treating patients with such therapies are likewise provided.

The present invention relates to single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) directed against Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 (LILRB2), pharmaceutical compositions comprising

A method for identifying candidate target cells within a biological fluid specimen includes a digital image of the biological fluid specimen with the digital image having a plurality of color channels, identifying first connected regions of pixels of a minimum first intensity in a first channel, identifying second connected regions of pixels of a minimum second intensity in a second channel, and determining first connected regions and second connected regions that spatially overlap. For a pair of a first connected region and a second connected region that spatially overlap, whether the second connected region overlaps the first connected region by a threshold amount is determined, and if the second connected region overlaps the first connected region by the threshold amount then the portion of the image corresponding to the overlap is continued to be treated as a candidate for classification.

The instant disclosure provides biomarkers and methods for identifying subjects at risk of developing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, or both after adoptive immunotherapy to guide preemptive intervention, modified therapy, or the like. For example, adverse event biomarkers may be measured in a subject before pre-conditioning chemotherapy, before immunotherapy (e.g., adoptive immunotherapy infusion comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cell), or shortly after pre-conditioning chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. Exemplary biomarkers include temperature, cytokine levels and endothelial activation biomarkers, such as angiopoietin-2, von Willebrand factor (vWF), ratio of angiopoietin-2 to angiopoietin-1, and ratio of ADAMTS13 to vWF. Also provided are methods of treating subjects identified as at risk of developing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, or both to minimize such potential adverse events.

The present disclosure provides treatment modalities, e.g., strategies, treatment methods, patient stratification methods, combinations, and compositions that are useful for the treatment of disorders, e.g., proliferative disorders, such as certain cancer. Some aspects of this disclosure provide treatment modalities, methods, strategies, compositions, combinations, and dosage forms for the treatment of cell proliferative disorders, e.g., cancers with decreased activity or function, or loss of function, of SMARCA4 with a SMARCA2 antagonist.

The present invention relates to a Bicycle toxin conjugate BT5528, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and uses thereof.
