Abstract: The present disclosure provides recombinantly manufactured ultra-long acting insulin-Fc fusion proteins for use in treating canine and feline diabetes. The insulin-Fc fusion proteins comprise an insulin polypeptide linked via a peptide linker to an Fc-fragment of canine or feline origin. Based on the results obtained, creating a treatment that is amenable to low cost manufacturing, exhibits sufficient in vivo bioactivity, displays extended duration of bioactivity, does not induce anti-drug antibodies, and substantially retains is potency over multiple administrations, requires a non-obvious combination of insulin polypeptide, peptide linkers, and species-specific Fc fragment, in addition to selective mutations on one or more of these components. Exemplary ultra-long acting insulin-Fc fusion proteins, polynucleotides encoding these insulin-Fc fusion proteins, and pharmaceutical formulations of exemplary insulin-Fc fusion proteins are provided, in addition to methods of use and preparation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of treatment of diseases and immunology. Specifically, the present invention relates to an anti-LAG-3 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, nucleic acid molecules for encoding said antibody and fragment, and method for preparing said antibody and fragment. The anti-LAG-3 antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof according to the present invention has high specificity and high affinity to LAG-3, can effectively block the binding of LAG-3 to MHC II and/or FGL1, and can inhibit and/or block intracellular signaling mediated by LAG-3 binding to MHC II and/or FGL1. Therefore, the present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof, and use of the pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of drugs.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and articles of manufacture for use with cell therapy for the treatment of diseases or conditions, e.g., cancer, including for predicting and treating a toxicity. In some embodiments, the toxicity is related to cytokine release syndrome (CRS). The methods generally involve assessing a change in a factor indicative of tumor burden prior to administration of a cell therapy in a subject that is associated with and/or correlate to a risk of developing toxicity. In some aspects, the methods can be used to determine if the subject is at risk or likely at risk for developing a toxicity following administration of the cell therapy. Also provided are methods for treating a subject having a disease or condition, in some cases involving administration of the cell therapy, based on assessment of risk of developing a toxicity following administration of the therapy. Also provided herein are reagents and kits for performing the methods.
