Abstract: Provided herein is a platform technology for the generation of properly paired bispecific antibodies. Some of the antibodies generated have Fc region modifications, in particular in their CH3 domains by lysine repositioning to drive heterodimerization of the two heavy chains of the bispecific antibody. Some of the antibodies generated have Fab arm modifications to prevent mispairing of light chains. Specifically, the CH1 and CL domains of one of the Fab arms of the bispecific antibody are substituted with an IgE CH2 domain or an IgM CH2 domain.
Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating non-small cell lung cancers comprising administering an effective amount of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

Abstract: An object is to produce a new anti-B7-H4 antibody having high specificity and affinity and provide a composition for treating cancer making use thereof. A monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to an extracellular domain protein of a human B7-H4 protein is newly produced and an “anti-B7-H4 antibody-effector cell complex” in which the monoclonal antibody and an effector cell are bound in order to enhance the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity of the monoclonal antibody or a bispecific antibody comprising an antigen recognition region of the monoclonal antibody and an effector cell antigen recognition region is further produced and used as a composition for treating cancer.
Abstract: The present invention relates to antibody light chain framework regions I to III from V? and framework region IV from V?, with high stability and reduced aggregation propensity.
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.
