Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods of treating cancer comprising administering effector cell engaging molecules comprising one or more tumor targeting moieties and one or more effector cell engaging moieties. For example, the effector cell engaging molecules can have a greater cumulative potency for the tumor targeting moieties than the effector cell engaging moieties, the tumor targeting moieties can have greater avidity than the effector cell engaging moieties, and/or can be multimeric. The methods comprise, for example, administering different doses of effector cell engaging molecules based on the subject's symptoms and/or administering chimeric antigen receptor expressing cells.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides multimeric binding molecules that bind to SARS-CoV-2. This disclosure also provides compositions comprising the multimeric binding molecules, polynucleotides that encode the multimeric binding molecules, and host cells that can produce the binding molecules. Further this disclosure provides methods of using the multimeric binding molecules, including methods for treating and preventing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Abstract:
This disclosure provides therapeutic methods for treating cancer including combination therapy with a multimeric anti-DR5 antibody and a cancer therapy, e.g., radiation, an anthracycline, a folic acid analog, a platinum-based agent, a taxane, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, a SMAC mimetic, a vinca alkaloid, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, a phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) inhibitor, a myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) inhibitor, or any combination thereof.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides an IgM antibody or IgM-like antibody comprising a variant J-chain and/or variant IgM heavy chain constant regions that can confer increased serum half-life upon the antibody.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides dimeric, pentameric, and hexameric CD137/4-1BB agonist binding molecules and methods of using such binding molecules to induce anti-tumor immunity.
Abstract:
The present invention provides binding molecules that include an IgM, IgA, IgG/IgM or IgG/IgA antibody with a modified J-chain that includes a binding moiety that antagonizes a T-cell inhibitory signaling pathway, and their uses.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides lateral flow devices comprising a sample loading section, a conjugate section, and an analysis section, wherein the conjugate section comprises a multimeric binding molecule that specifically binds to an analyte. Also provided are kits comprising such devices and methods of using and manufacturing such devices and kits.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a multimeric binding molecule, e.g., an IgM, IgM-like, IgA, or IgA-like binding molecule, e.g., an antibody with enhanced selectivity for cells expressing a target antigen at high density, e.g., tumor cells. Enhanced selectivity can be achieved, e.g., through modulation of binding affinity for the target antigen and/or through adjusting avidity via multimeric antigen binding.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides IgM-and IgA-derived binding molecules comprising binding polypeptides, e.g ., receptor ectodomains, ligands, or receptor-binding fragments thereof, and the like, fused to multimerizing IgM or IgA constant regions.
Abstract:
Aspects of the invention include isolated anti-PD-L1 antibodies, as well as compositions containing such antibodies, and methods of using the same in the treatment of diseases or conditions that are mediated by PD-L1 signaling.
