Abstract:
Compositions comprising a highly sialylated IgG preparation and methods for treating a patient using such preparations are described. This application is based, in part, on the surprising discovery that a dose of a highly sialylated IgG (hslgG) preparation that is about 1% - 10% of the effective dose for IVIG can be effective for treating disorders that are treated with IVIG.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides, among other things, continuous culture methods for producing a cell product, e.g., a recombinant protein, e.g., a glycoprotein, e.g., an antibody agent or a fusion protein. In some instances, methods herein allow large-scale production of a recombinant protein using continuous culture methods. The present disclosure identifies and addresses a problem with current continuous cell culture techniques in that at large-scale culture of certain cells have insufficient viable cell concentrations and impaired cell viability. The present disclosure provides, in part, methods and systems for large-scale continuous culture of shear-sensitive cells.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of engineered Fc-antigen binding domain constructs, where the Fc-antigen binding domain constructs include at least two Fc domains and at least one antigen binding domain.
Abstract:
Fc-antigen binding constructs having a CD38 binding domain and two or more Fc domains are described as are methods for using such constructs. Also described are polypeptides making up such constructs. Fc domain monomers that are included in the constructs can include amino acid substitutions that promote homodimerization or heterodimerization.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of engineered Fc-antigen binding domain constructs, where the Fc-antigen binding domain constructs include at least two Fc domains and at least one antigen binding domain.
Abstract:
The present application features antibodies that bind to human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). These anti-FcRn antibodies are useful, e.g., to promote clearance of autoantibodies in a subject, to suppress antigen presentation in a subject, to block an immune response, e.g., block an immune complex-based activation of the immune response in a subject, and to treat immunological diseases (e.g., autoimmune diseases) in a subject. These anti-FcRn antibodies are also useful, e.g., to decrease pathogenic antibody transport across the placenta of a pregnant subject, to increase pathogenic antibody catabolism in a pregnant subject, and to treat an antibody-mediated enhancement of viral disease in a fetus or a neonate.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of engineered IgG Fc constructs, wherein the Fc constructs include one or more Fc domains.
