Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for treating, reducing the severity, or inhibiting the growth of cancer (e.g., ovarian cancer or pancreatic cancer). The methods of the present invention comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to immunomodulatory receptor cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a bispecific antibody that specifically binds Mucin 16 (MUC16) and CD3.
Abstract:
Non-human animals, and methods and compositions for making and using the same, are provided, wherein the non-human animals comprise a humanization of a Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (Lag3). The non-human animals may be described, in some embodiments, as having a genetic modification to an endogenous Lag3 locus so that the non-human animals express a Lag3 polypeptide that includes a human portion and an endogenous portion (e.g., a non-human portion).
Abstract:
The present invention provides antibodies that bind to the T-cell co-inhibitor programmed death-1 (PD-1) protein, and methods of use. In various embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to PD-1. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides multi-specific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first binding specificity that binds to PD-1 and a second binding specificity that binds to an autoimmune tissue antigen, another T-cell co-inhibitor, an Fc receptor, or a T-cell receptor. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing PD-1 activity, thus providing a means of treating a disease or disorder such as cancer or a chronic viral infection. In other embodiments, the antibodies are useful for enhancing or stimulating PD-1 activity, thus providing a means of treating, for example, an autoimmune disease or disorder.
Abstract:
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a VEGF antagonist and an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, and methods of use thereof. The compositions and methods of the present invention are useful for the treatment of cancers and other diseases and disorders in which anti-angiogenic therapies and/or targeted immune responses may be beneficial.

Abstract:
Non-human animals, methods and compositions for making and using the same, are provided, wherein said non-human animals comprise a humanization of a Cluster of Differentiation 274 (CD274) gene. Such non-human animals may be described, in some embodiments, as having a genetic modification to an endogenous CD274 gene so that said non-human animals express a Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) polypeptide that includes a human portion and an endogenous portion (e.g., a non-human portion).
Abstract:
The present invention provides antibodies that bind to the T-cell co-inhibitor ligand programmed death-ligand1 (PD-L1) protein, and methods of use. In various embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to PD-L1. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides multi-specific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first binding specificity that binds to PD-L1 and a second binding specificity that binds to a tumor cell antigen, an infected cell-specific antigen, or a T-cell co-inhibitor. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing PD-L1 activity, thus providing a means of treating a disease or disorder such as cancer or viral infection.
