    摘要: The present invention is directed to binding molecules that possess one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of CD137 and one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of a tumor antigen (“TA”) (e.g., a “CD137×TA Binding Molecule”). In one embodiment, such CD137×TA Binding Molecules will be bispecific molecules, especially bispecific tetravalent diabodies, that are composed of two, three, four or more than four polypeptide chains and possessing two epitope-binding sites each specific for an epitope of CD137 and two epitope-binding sites each specific for an epitope of a TA. Alternatively, such CD137×TA Binding Molecules will be bispecific molecules, especially bispecific trivalent binding molecules composed of three or more polypeptide chains and possessing one or two epitope-binding sites each specific for an epitope of CD137 and one or two epitope-binding sites each specific for an epitope of a TA. The CD137×TA Binding Molecules of the invention are capable of simultaneous binding to CD137, and a TA. The invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions that contain any such CD137×TA Binding Molecules. The invention is additionally directed to methods for the use of such molecules in the treatment of cancer and other diseases and conditions. The invention also provides novel CD137-binding molecules, and HER2/neu-binding molecules, as well as derivatives thereof and uses thereof.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to molecules (e.g., an antibody, a diabody, an scFv, an antibody, a TandAb, etc.) capable of binding an epitope of human CD16 (a “CD16 Binding Molecule”). The present invention is further directed to CD 16 Binding Molecules that are capable of binding an epitope of human CD16 and one or more epitope(s) of a Disease Antigen (“DA”) (e.g., a “CD16 x DA Binding Molecule”). The present invention is particularly directed to such CD16 x DA Binding Molecules that are antibodies, or that comprise an Epitope Binding Domain thereof, or are diabodies (including DART® diabodies), bispecific antibodies, TandAbs, other multispecific binding molecules (e.g., trivalent TRIDENT™ molecules), etc. The invention particularly concerns CD16 x DA Binding Molecules that are capable of binding a Disease Antigen that is a Cancer Antigen or a Pathogen-Associated Antigen in addition to being able to bind CD 16. The invention particularly concerns the use of such CD16 and CD16 x DA Binding Molecules in the treatment of cancer and pathogen-associated diseases. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise such molecule(s).

    摘要: The present invention is directed to optimized HIV-1 gp41-Binding Molecules having reduced immunogenicity. More specifically, the invention relates to optimized gp41-Binding Molecules that comprise a gp41-binding Variable Light Chain (VL) Domain and/or a gp41-binding Variable Heavy Chain (VH) Domain that has/have been optimized to reduce the immunogenicity of such Domain(s) upon administration to a recipient subject. The invention particularly pertains to gp41-Binding Molecules that are multispecific gp41-Binding Molecules (including bispecific diabodies (including DART® diabodies), BiTE®s, bispecific antibodies, trivalent binding molecules (including TRIDENT™ molecules), etc.) that comprise: (i) such optimized gp41-binding Variable Domain(s) and (ii) a domain capable of binding to an epitope of a molecule present on the surface of an effector cell. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise any of such gp41-Binding Molecules, and to methods involving the use of any of such gp41-Binding Molecules in the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
