  • Patent number: 11022614
    Abstract: It has been demonstrated that certain compounds bind to TNF and stabilise a conformation of trimeric TNF that binds to the TNF receptor. Antibodies which selectively bind to complexes of such compounds with TNF superfamily members are disclosed. These antibodies may be used to detect further compounds with the same activity, and as target engagement biomarker.

  • Patent number: 10954312
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of controlling and directing cells, for example to stimulate an immune response, inhibit an immune response, direct tissue regeneration or prevent tissue damage for therapeutic activity through the use of heterodimerically-tethered bispecific protein complex of formula A-X:Y-B. Component A may present X on the surface of a cell, may bind a protein (including a marker) expressed on the surface of an effector cell, or A-X is expressed on the surface of an effector cell, whilst B is specific to an epitope on target cell or tissue of interest. X:Y is a heterodimeric-tether which is formed by a binding interaction between X and Y, which together with A and B assists and effects the controlling and directing of the selected cells.
