Abstract: A method for site-specific quantitation or characterization of drug conjugations of antibody-drug conjugates using protease-assisted drug deconjugation, linker labelling and mass spectrometry, wherein the conjugation includes an attachment linked to a specific conjugation site of a partially conjugated peptide or protein in a sample. The method comprises cleaving a portion of the attachment to generate the peptide or protein containing a cleaved linker, adding a modified linker to an unconjugated conjugation site of the partially conjugated peptide or protein, and subsequently subjecting the sample to mass analysis to identify the peptide or protein containing the cleaved linker and/or the modified linker.

Abstract: This invention relates to site-specific integration and expression of recombinant proteins in eukaryotic cells. In particular, the invention includes compositions and methods for improved expression of antibodies including bispecific antibodies in eukaryotic cells, particularly Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) cell lines, by employing an expression-enhancing locus.

In some such instances, the genetically modified non-human animal is engrafted with healthy or diseased human hematopoietic cells. Also provided are methods for using the subject genetically modified non-human animals in modeling human hematopoietic cell development, function, and/or disease, as well as reagents and kits thereof that find use in making the subject genetically modified non-human animals and/or practicing the subject methods.

Abstract: The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to the influenza hemagglutinin (HA) protein, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and methods of use. The antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing influenza virus activity, thus providing a means of treating or preventing influenza infection in humans. In some embodiments, the invention provides for use of one or more antibodies that bind to the influenza HA for preventing viral attachment and/or entry into host cells. The antibodies of the invention may be used prophylactically or therapeutically and may be used alone or in combination with one or more other anti-viral agents or vaccines.

Abstract: The present invention provides modified glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) polypeptides, fusion proteins comprising modified GLP1 polypeptides, and methods of use thereof. In various embodiments of the invention, the fusion proteins are GLP1 receptor agonists that comprise a modified GLP1 fused to a stabilizing domain. In some embodiments, the fusion proteins comprising modified GLP1 are useful for treating or ameliorating a symptom or indication of a disorder such as obesity and diabetes.

Abstract: Methods for detecting and/or discriminating between variants of an antibody contaminating protein or multiple antibodies in a sample by a physical parameter, in which the method includes: separating protein components of a sample by molecular weight or charge in one or more capillaries using capillary electrophoresis; immobilizing the protein components of the sample within the one or more capillaries; contacting the protein components within the one or more capillaries with one or more primary antibodies that specifically bind to the antibody, the contaminating protein or multiple antibodies in the sample, thereby detecting and/or discriminating between variants in the sample.
