Abstract: The invention relates to chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) that comprise one or more single human variable domain antibody and cells that express such CAR. In particular, the invention relates to CARs that include multiple single human variable domain antibodies. In a particular embodiment, the one or more single human variable domain antibody binds to prostate membrane antigen.
Abstract: The invention relates to PD-1 binding agents that do not block the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands, and the use of such binding agents in the treatment, prevention and detection of disease.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for assessing response to inflammatory disease therapy. The methods include placing a subject on a therapeutic regimen and subsequently performing an immunoassay to generate a score based on quantitative data for expression of biomarkers relating to inflammatory biomarkers. The methods further include recommending that the subject either remains on the therapeutic regimen, or is removed from the therapeutic regimen, based on the score.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods for assessing risk of infection or cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a subject with an inflammatory disease, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis. The methods include performing immunoassays to generate scores based on quantitative data for expression of biomarkers relating to inflammatory biomarkers with or without additional clinical variables to assess infection and CVD risk. Also provided are uses of inflammatory biomarkers for guiding treatment decisions.
