Abstract: The present application addresses the problem of providing an Fc-binding protein having an improved antibody separation ability. The present application also addresses the problem of providing a high-accuracy antibody separation method using an insoluble carrier having the protein immobilized thereon. The problems can be solved by: an Fc-binding protein in which at least an amino acid substitution at a specific position therein occurs and which has reduced affinity for an antibody; and an antibody separation method including allowing an equilibration buffer solution to pass through a column in which an insoluble carrier having the protein immobilized thereon is filled to equilibrate the column, adding a solution containing an antibody to cause the adsorption of the antibody onto the carrier, and eluting the antibody adsorbed on the carrier using an elution solution.

Abstract: Provided in the present invention is a bispecific antibody which comprises an anti-MUC1 VHH antibody fragment and an anti-CD16 VHH antibody fragment. The antibody fragment used in the present invention is a variable region sequence derived from a heavy chain camelid antibody and has a high binding affinity to the antigen. Antibody fragments recognizing MUC1 and CD16 are constructed in the same antibody molecule by the invention, so that the antibody molecule can specifically bind to MUC1 and CD16 molecules to promote the killing effect of NK cells on MUC1-positive expression cells and has an inhibiting effect on the growth of MUC1-positive tumors. Also provided is a conjugate of the bispecific antibodies, a related pharmaceutical composition and use.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a method of predicting response to a PD-1 axis inhibitor such as anti-PD-L1 antibody by determining the abundance of dendritic cells (DCs) in a tumor tissue sample. The abundance of DCs characterized by enhanced expressions of XCR1, IRF8, BATF3 and FLT3 predicts clinical response to the PD-L1 blockade 5 treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to human CD3 antigen-binding polypeptides and their preparation and use in the treatment and/or diagnosis of various diseases, and also relates to bispecific antibody molecules capable of activating immune effector cells and their use in diagnosis and/or treatment of various diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for production of stable and highly specific heterodimeric immunoglobulin constructs, e.g., bispecific antibodies, retaining desirable properties of native IgG and lacking undesirable heavy chain-light chain mispairing, that can simultaneously bind two target molecules and are more potent in the treatment of complex diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CAR) that are recombinant chimeric proteins able to redirect immune cell specificity and reactivity toward selected membrane antigens, and more particularly in which extracellular ligand binding is a scFV derived from a BCMA monoclonal antibody, conferring specific immunity against BCMA positive cells. The engineered immune cells endowed with such CARs are particularly suited for treating lymphomas, multiple myeloma and leukemia.

Abstract: The invention provides a bispecific antibody construct comprising a first human binding domain capable of binding to human CDH19 on the surface of a target cell and a second domain capable of binding to human CD3 on the surface of a T cell. Moreover, the invention provides a nucleic acid encoding the antibody construct, a vector comprising the nucleic acid and a host cell transformed or transfected with the vector. Furthermore, the invention provides a process for the production of the bispecific antibody construct, a medical use of the antibody construct and a kit comprising the antibody construct. The bispecific antibody construct may be useful in the treatment of melanoma.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bi-specific molecule which comprises: (i) a first domain which binds B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and comprises at least part of a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL); and (ii) a second domain capable of activating a T cell. The invention also provides the use of such a molecule in the treatment of plasma-cell mediated diseases, such as multiple myeloma.
