Abstract: Novels antibodies, preferably monoclonal antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, said antibody or fragment thereof specifically binding to CD5. These antibodies may be used as a medicament, especially in the treatment of diseases in immunomodulation, inflammation, virology, infectiology, autoimmunity and oncology domains. Immune cells and/or cancer cells targeted by the invention are expressing CD5 antigen. These antibodies may be in particular chimeric or humanized. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions, such as immunomodulator, anti-cancerous and anti-infectious compositions, containing such an antibody or antigen-binding fragment and methods of use of these, either for laboratory work, in drug manufacturing, such as in cell therapy cells production, or for medical treatment.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel combination therapies involving anti-CD19 antibodies for the treatment of cancer B cells expressing CD19. One preferred method is where the anti-CD19 proapoptotic MAb or a Fc optimized proapototic humanized MAb. In the methods of the present invention some anti-CD20 agents such as Rituxan®, or chemodrugs such as vincristine may be used in combitherapy. The methods of the present invention reduce the levels of B CD19 positive, more particularly in all diffuse large B cells lymphoma (DLBCL) subtypes and in Follicular lymphomas (FL).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-CD19 antibody having a variant Fc region having some specific amino acid modifications relative to a wild-type Fc region which confer one or several useful effector functions. The present invention relates in particular to chimeric, humanized or full human anti-CD19 antibodies comprising such a variant Fc region. It relates advantageously to antibodies with an interesting and valuable glycosylation profile, especially a low fucose level and/or a high oligomannose level and low level of sialylated glycoform. The present invention also relates to the use of these antibodies in the treatment, prevention or management of disease or disorder, such as cancer, especially a B-cell malignancy, and auto-immune disease.

The present invention relates in particular to chimeric, humanized or full human anti-CD19 antibodies comprising such a variant Fc region. It relates advantageously to antibodies with an interesting and valuable glycosylation profile, especially a low fucose level and/or a high oligomannose level and low level of sialic acid, high ADCC function and no CDC. The present invention also relates to the use of these antibodies in the treatment, prevention or management of diseases or disorders, such as cancer, especially a B-cell malignancy and auto-immune disease.

Abstract: Anti-DR5 family member antibodies and bispecific antibodies comprising one or more anti-DR5 family member antibodies are disclosed. These antibodies can be used to trigger cell death on DR5 positive cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of recombinant glycoproteins or antibodies that have an improved glycosylation profile and effector functions such as ADCC and/or CDC. The present invention is in particular related to the production of glycoproteins or antibodies having a valuable glycosylation profile, especially a low fucose level and/or a high oligomannose level and/or presence of sialic acid to the glycans.
