Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating a disease, and methods for reduction of cytokine release associated with the administration of a T-cell activating therapeutic agent. The present invention further relates to combination treatment methods of treating a disease and antibodies for the use in such methods.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for treating CEA-positive cancers. The method comprising administering a PD-1 axis binding antagonist and a bispecific antibody that targets CEA and CD3.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to antibodies that bind to HLA-A2/WT1, including bispecific antigen binding molecules e.g. for activating T cells. In addition, the present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding such antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further relates to methods for producing the antibodies, and to methods of using them in the treatment of disease.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for treating CEA-positive cancers. The method comprising administering a PD-1 axis binding antagonist and a bispecific antibody that targets CEA and CD3.

Abstract: The present invention relates to non-invasive methods of and uses for in vivo imaging tumor vasculature in a subject comprising detecting a fluorescence labelled anti-CD31 antibody. In a further aspect the present invention relates to non-invasive methods of and uses for in vivo monitoring the therapeutic efficacy of an anti-angiogenic agent in a subject comprising detecting a fluorescence labelled anti-CD31 antibody. In addition, a kit for use in the methods of the present invention is provided which comprises a fluorescence labelled anti-CD31 antibody and means for near-infrared fluorescence imaging to detect the antibody in a subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell which is suitable for screening a candidate agent as being an inhibitor of the metabolism of tryptophan to NAD+ and/or a modulator of NAD+ levels, which cell comprises functional genes of a pathway enabling the metabolism of tryptophan to NAD+ and wherein the cell includes a copy of an exogenous gene of said pathway, from the same or different species as the cell, which exogenous gene is under the control of an inducible or constitutive promoter and wherein any endogenous copy of the gene having the same function as the exogenous gene is a non functioning gene. The present invention also relates to populations of such cells and to methods of screening candidate agents with such cells.
