Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the pharmaceutical use of antagonists (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof) that specifically bind to FAM19A5 to treat an atherosclerosis in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated antibody which specifically binds human CD137, and pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use thereof. The present invention further relates to a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding said antibody, a vector comprising said nucleic acid, a host cell comprising said nucleic acid or said vector, and a method of producing said antibody.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions comprising subsets of monocyte having distinct functional properties and methods for using the same to treat infectious disease.

Abstract: Camel single-domain monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind human and mouse mesothelin are described. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and antibody conjugates based on the mesothelin-specific antibodies are also described. The disclosed CAR T cells, mesothelin-specific antibodies and conjugates thereof can be used, for example, in the diagnosis or treatment of mesothelin-positive cancers.

Abstract: Disclosed is an isolated binding protein including a cardiac troponin I (cTnI) antigen binding domain, and preparation and a use and the like of the binding protein. The antigen binding domain includes at least one complementarity determining region selected from an amino acid sequence defined in this article, or has at least 80% sequence identity with the complementarity determining region of the amino acid sequence and has KD?9.96×10?8 mol/L affinity with cTnI. The binding protein may be used in the detection field of the cTnI protein.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to biotechnology and provides antibodies that specifically bind to IL-5R?. The disclosure also relates to DNA encoding the antibodies, the corresponding expression vectors and methods of production thereof, as well as methods of treatment using the antibodies.

Abstract: Provided is a MART-1 (27-35) epitope-specific T cell receptor, comprising an ? chain and a ? chain. The ? chain comprises three complementary determining regions, respective sequences thereof being positions 61-66, positions 84-89, and positions 124-136 of SEQ ID No. 3. The ? chain comprises three complementary determining regions, respective amino acid sequences thereof being positions 46-50, positions 68-73, and positions 112-125 of SEQ ID No. 4. A T cell expressing the TCR can effectively recognize a MART-1 (27-35) epitope polypeptide supported on a T2 cell and secrete IFN-?, thereby demonstrating the functionality of the receptor. Use of the TCR with a relevant drug target allows for effective drug development.

Abstract: This invention relates to inhibition of the complement signaling using an anti-C5 antibody. Specifically, the invention relates to methods of treating a complement-mediated disease or complement-mediated disorder in an individual by contacting the individual with an anti-C5 antibody.

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies that bind glypican-2 (GPC2) with high affinity are described. Immunotoxins and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that include the disclosed antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof are further described. In some instances, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is humanized. The disclosed GPC2-specific antibodies and conjugates can be used, for example, for the diagnosis or treatment of GPC2-positive cancers, including neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma and retinoblastoma.
