Abstract:
The invention relates to novel non-human transgenic animals, which upon antigenic stimulation are capable of producing monovalent antibodies binding to a selected antigen, modified heavy chain transgenes, methods for producing the non-human transgenic animals, methods for immunizing the non-human transgenic animals for as well as monovalent antibodies obtainable by such immunization methods.
Abstract:
Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to human CD38, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the human antibodies.
Abstract:
Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to human TF and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the antibodies.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to positions in the constant region of antibodies, in particular the CH3 region of lgG4, which affect the strength of CH3-CH3 interactions. Mutations that either stabilize or destabilize this interaction are disclosed.
Abstract:
Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to IL-8 (e.g., human IL-8) are disclosed. The human antibodies can be produced in a hybridoma, transfectoma or in a non-human transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, capable of producing multiple isotypes of human monoclonal antibodies by undergoing V-D-J recombination and isotype switching. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human antibodies, non-human transgenic animals, hybridomas, and transfectomas which produce the human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the human antibodies.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to stabilized IgG4 antibodies, to methods of producing such antibodies and to uses of such antibodies as a medicament. In a main aspect, the invention relates to a stabilized IgG4 antibody, comprising a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein said heavy chain comprises a human IgG4 constant region having a substitution of the Arg residue at position (409), the Phe residue at position (405) or the Lys residue at position (370).
Abstract:
Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which specifically bind to human EGFR, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. The human antibodies can be produced by a transfectoma or in a non-human transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, capable of producing multiple isotypes of human monoclonal antibodies by undergoing V-D-J recombination and isotype switching. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human antibodies, non-human transgenic animals and hybridomas which produce the human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the human antibodies.
Abstract:
The invention provides a platinum-based agent (e.g., carboplatin) in combination with an antibody-drug conjugate that binds to tissue factor (TF) (e.g., tisotumab vedotin) and their use in methods of treating cancer, such as bladder cancer and cervical cancer. The invention also provides compositions and kits comprising the platinum-based agent (e.g., carboplatin) and the antibody-drug conjugate that binds to TF (e.g., tisotumab vedotin) for use in treating cancer, such as bladder cancer and cervical cancer.
Abstract:
Bispecific antibodies which comprise antigen-binding regions binding to two different epitopes of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and methods of preparing and using the antibodies are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides combination therapy using a binding agent that binds to human CD137 and to human PD-L1 in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor to reduce or prevent progression of a tumor or treating cancer.
