Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a heterodimer molecule, comprising a first polypeptide chain and a second polypeptide chain, and the first polypeptide chain comprises a first CH3 domain of an antibody heavy chain constant region, the second polypeptide chain comprises a second CH3 domain of an antibody heavy chain constant region. Comparing to a corresponding wild-type CH3 domain of a human antibody heavy chain constant region, the first CH3 domain and the second CH3 domain comprise amino acid mutations at specific positions, for example T366+K409+K392 and T366+L368+Y407+D399+F405, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of medical biology and discloses a single domain antibody and derivative proteins thereof against programmed death ligand (PDL1). In particular, the present invention discloses a programmed death ligand 1 (PDL1) binding molecule and the use thereof, especially the use for treating and/or preventing or diagnosing PDL1 relevant diseases such as tumor.

Abstract: A therapeutic composition is described that can be used for treating or prevention of diseases association with modulation of activity of human IL-1?. In certain aspects, the disclosed invention is based, on engineering of a heterodimeric protein assembly that is capable of binding to human IL-1? and attenuating its function. The heterodimeric protein assembly comprises extracellular portions of human IL1-R1 and of human IL-1RAcP, or their functional fragments. Each, the IL1-R1 portion and the IL-1RAcP portion, is fused to a distinct mutant of Fc portion of the human Ig Gamma-1. The two distinct Fc mutants in the heterodimeric protein assembly are engineered as to favor the heteromeric dimer formation between the two Fc mutants over any homomeric assembly. The therapeutic composition has been formulated for administration into humans and animals.

Abstract: A method and system to generate training data for a deep learning model in memory instead of loading pre-generated data from disk storage. A corpus may be stored as lines of text. The lines of text can be manipulated in the memory of a central processing unit (CPU) of a computing system, using asynchronous multi-processing, in parallel with a training process being conducted on the system's graphics processing unit (GPU). With such an approach, for a given line of text, it is possible to take advantage of different fonts and different types of image augmentation without having to put the images in disk storage for subsequent retrieval. Consequently, the same line of text can be used to generate different training images for use in different epochs, providing more variability in training data (no training sample is trained on more than once). A single training corpus may yield many different training data sets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of medical biology, and discloses a single domain antibody and derivative proteins thereof against CTLA4. In particular, the present invention discloses a CTLA4 binding protein and the use thereof, especially the use for treating and/or preventing CTLA4 relevant diseases such as tumor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dimer formed by two polypeptide chains, with each of the two polypeptide chains comprising an antibody Fc subunit, wherein the dimer comprises two or more immunoglobulin single variable domains (ISVDs), at least one of the ISVDs is specific for PD-L1, and at least one of the ISVDs is specific for CTLA4.

Abstract: A reusable, spill-proof lid for a drinking vessel. The lid has a cap member that is selectively moveable between a seated position to form an inner seal, and an unseated position that forms a gap that facilitates drinking of liquid contents from the drinking vessel. The lid is particularly moveable from the seated position to the unseated position via a downwardly directed force applied by the upper lip of a user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an antibody, or an antigen binding fragment or variant thereof, which binds to CD27 and exhibits at least one of the following properties: specifically binds to CD27 with a KD of 10?8 M or less; activates and/or increases CD27 mediated NF-?B activity; stimulates CD4+ and/or CD8+ T cell proliferation; binds to human CD27 expressed on a cell surface; stimulates secretion of IFN-? by CD4+ and/or CD8+ T cells. The present disclosure also provides a method for preparing and using said antibody.

Abstract: Provided is an immunoconjugate useful in inhibiting tumor growth, and a composition and/or protein mixture comprising the immunoconjugate. Also provided are methods for the production of the immunoconjugate, as well as pharmaceutical uses of the immunoconjugate in inhibiting tumor growth, including but not limited to treatment of cancers.

Abstract: In a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) packet encapsulation and policy execution method, a communications device determines an application identifier for identifying an application type of an Ethernet frame, and places the application identifier in a VXLAN header. Another device may directly execute a corresponding policy based on the application identifier in the VXLAN header and without analyzing a packet.

Abstract: Fully human anti-PD-L1 antibodies and their corresponding applications. Fully human antibodies capable of specifically binding to human PD-L1 were obtained by employing a yeast display library-based screening technique and also by affinity maturation to further improve their affinity for PD-L1. The fully human anti-PD-L1 antibodies show good specificity, affinity and stability. They are capable of enhancing T cell activity by binding to activated T cells, while significantly inhibiting tumor growth, and can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of PD-L1-related cancers and other associated diseases.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dimer formed by two polypeptide chains, with each of the two polypeptide chains comprising an antibody Fc subunit, wherein the dimer comprises two or more immunoglobulin single variable domains (ISVDs), at least one of the ISVDs is specific for PD-L1, and at least one of the ISVDs is specific for CTLA4.
