Abstract:
The present invention relates to BCMA (B-Cell Maturation Antigen) antigen binding proteins, such as antibodies, polynucleotide sequences encoding said antigen binding proteins, and compositions and methods for diagnosing and treating diseases. The present invention also relates to BCMA antibody drug conjugates and uses thereof.
Abstract:
The ability to generate a single antibody-based construct that can recognize multiple targets simultaneously, is paramount to advance many therapeutics candidates to clinic. Often, this implies extensive protein design with vary degrees of success. In the case of multispecific antibodies, the driving of the HC/LC pairing in the Fab region represents one of the most difficult challenges yet in the field of multispecific engineering. Described here is the discovery of a new placement for a non-canonical disulfide bond and as such the generation of an asymmetric cysteine interface between two Fabs present in the same molecule which will further enable the production of multispecifics.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel multispecific antigen binding proteins that are capable of binding to multiple targets. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the multispecific antigen binding proteins as well as methods for producing them are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Described herein are compositions and methods related to antigen binding proteins that bind to human ST2, including antibodies. In particular embodiments, the disclosure provides fully human anti-ST2 antibodies and derivatives and variants thereof. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding such antibodies and antibody fragments, variants, and derivatives. Also, provided are methods of making and using such antibodies including methods of treating and preventing autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
Abstract:
The clinical potential of multispecific antibodies like bispecific and trispecific antibodies shows great promise for targeting complex diseases. However, the generation of those molecules presents great challenges particularly in regard to achieving acceptable expression levels free from mis-paired polypeptides. The presently claimed invention is directed to multispecific antigen binding proteins which improve upon existing charge pair technologies by redistributing the engineered charges within the CH3 regions of a heteromultimer.

In the case of multispecific antibodies, the driving of the HC/LC pairing in the Fab region represents one of the most difficult challenges yet in the field of multispecific engineering. Described here is the discovery of a new single chain Fab module that utilizes a novel linker between VL-CL and VH-CH1 domains which will further enable the production of multispecifics.
Abstract:
The ability to generate a single antibody-based construct that can recognize multiple targets simultaneously, is paramount to advance many therapeutics candidates to clinic. Often, this implies extensive protein design with vary degrees of success. In the case of multispecific antibody constructs, there are multiple modalities from which to choose and often multiple antigen binders as well. Described here is the discovery of new methods to optimally pair antigen binders with the proper format, including the selection of common light chains.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ("SARS-CoV2") immunogens useful for the generation of therapeutic antibodies and vaccine development. Such therapeutic antibodies include human antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to human SARS-CoV2 S protein, and that function to neutralize SARS-CoV2. The present invention also relates to methods of generating antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to human SARS-CoV2 S protein.
