    摘要: The present disclosure relates to the finding that the ratio of circulating (i.e., peripheral blood) central memory T cells to circulating effector T cells in a cancer patient can predict whether a tumor has an inflammatory milieu or not. In addition, since having an inflammatory milieu (“hot tumor”) is a positive factor for responding to checkpoint inhibitors, e.g., PD-1 antagonists, this assay on peripheral blood can also be used to predict a response to a checkpoint inhibitor, e.g., an antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically binds to a Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptor and inhibits PD-1 activity or an antibody or an antigen binding portion thereof that binds specifically to PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) and inhibits PD-L1 activity.

    摘要: Modified IgG1 Fc domains having reduced binding to Fc-gamma-receptors are provided. Further provided are fusion polypeptides comprising a modified IgG1 Fc domain. An antibody polypeptide that specifically binds a human CD40 is provided, wherein the antibody polypeptides are fusions of a domain antibody (dAb) comprising a single VH domain and an Fc domain. The antibody polypeptides do not exhibit CD40 agonist activity, do not substantially activate immature dendritic cells, and have improved biophysical properties.

    摘要: The disclosure provides for antibodies that bind CD40, including a humanized antibody and a chimeric antibody with different Fc domains. The antibodies bind CD40 and do not exhibit CD40 agonist activity. The antibodies may comprise a modified IgG1 Fc domain, and exhibit minimal activation of immature dendritic cells. Compositions comprising antibodies, methods of use for treatment of diseases involving CD40 activity, and use in the preparation of a medicament for treatment of a disease involving CD40 activity are provided.
