Methods of producing antigen binding proteins that specifically recognize a target MAGE-A4 pMHC, and nucleic acid libraries encoding the same, are also provided.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to compositions and methods for modulating complement component 3 (C3) activity or expression to treat, control or otherwise influence tumors and tissues, including cells and cell types of the tumors and tissues, and malignant, microenvironmental, or immunologic states of the tumor cells and tissues. The invention also relates to methods of diagnosing, prognosing and/or staging of tumors, tissues and cells.

Abstract: The present invention provides an immune effector cell that comprises a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for a tag of a tagged polypeptide, wherein said polypeptide binds to an antigen of a target cell, and a chimeric costimulatory receptor (CCR) specific for a further antigen. The CCR is not able to mediate said immune response on its own but boosts the immune response of said immune effector cell triggered by the CAR.

Abstract: Novel heterodimeric antibody-Fc-containing proteins, such as bispecific antibodies, and novel methods for producing such proteins.

Abstract: This invention relates to anti-LAG-3 antibodies and methods of using them in treating diseases and conditions that benefit from modulating LAG-3 activity, e.g., cancer.
