Abstract: The present invention provides a combination therapy for treating a tumor in a subject. The combination comprises two elements. The first is a polypeptide construct comprising an attenuated Type I interferon (IFN) linked to an antibody which binds to a cell surface-associated antigen expressed on the tumour cell and comprising a functional Fc region. The second is a CD47 antagonist which inhibits the interaction CD47 with the SIRP? receptor.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating a disease or disorder in a subject by inducing a TGF alpha immune response or by administering an anti-TGF-alpha antibody or a biologically active fragment thereof. The TGF-alpha immune response is induced using a TGF-alpha polypeptide or biologically active fragment, a vaccine, a genetic construct or a transformed cell, for example.

Abstract: Described herein are bispecific antibodies that bind to plasma kallikrein (pKal) and Factor XII and methods of producing and using such bi-specific antibodies for treating diseases or disorders associated with the contact system, e.g., hereditary angioedema or thrombosis.

Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure relates to compositions and methods for detecting phosphorylation of dynamin-related protein 1 (Dip1) at position Ser-616. In some embodiments, methods described by the disclosure are useful for detecting antiplatelet agent sensitivity in a subject. In some embodiments, methods described by the disclosure are useful for detecting if a subject has been previously exposed to an antiplatelet agent.

Abstract: Methods of treating and preventing kidney injury through inhibiting interleukin 11 (IL-11)-mediated signalling are disclosed, as well as agents for use in such methods.

Abstract: The invention features multi-specific fusion protein complexes with one domain comprising IL-15 or a functional variant and a binding domain specific to IL-12 or IL-18.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, compositions and uses thereof can be provided for preventing, reducing and/or treating loss of muscle function. In particular, e.g., it is possible to administer to a subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that enhances Interleukin-6 (IL) release during exercise, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

Abstract: Novel human interleukin-2 (IL-2) muteins or variants thereof are provided. In particular, provided are IL-2 muteins that have an increased binding capacity for IL-2R? receptor and a decreased binding capacity for IL-2R?c receptor, as compared to wild-type IL-2. Such IL-2 muteins are useful, for example, as IL-2 partial agonist and antagonists in applications where reduction or inhibition of one or more IL-2 and/or IL-15 functions is useful (e.g., in the treatment of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and adult T cell leukemia). Also provided are nucleic acids encoding such IL-2 muteins, methods of making such IL-2 muteins, pharmaceutical compositions that include such IL-2 muteins and methods of treatment using such pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: Compositions, methods, and uses of recombinant immunoglobulin proteins, recombinant immunoglobulin protein complexes, carrier protein complexes, and a pharmaceutical composition including one or more of those to increase immune therapy effectiveness are presented. Preferred protein and protein complex comprise one or more functional moieties that includes a binding motif to a tumor-associated antigen, a T-cell activating molecule, and a chemokine. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition includes two or more protein complexes, which are functionally distinct from each other. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition includes a genetically-engineered microorganism including a first tumor-associated antigen and a T-cell activating molecule, a recombinant immunoglobulin protein complex, and a chemokine.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions for treating interleukin 5 (IL-5) mediated diseases, and related methods.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions for treating interleukin 5 (IL-5) mediated diseases, and related methods.

Abstract: Provided are high concentration stable formulations of anti-CSF1R/CSF1 antibodies. An example formulation includes 105 to 250 mg/mL of the antibody, 100 mM to 200 mM of arginine glutamate or arginine HCl, 10 mM to 50 mM histidine, and 0.015 to 0.035 w/v % of polysorbate 80, at a pH of 5.4 to 5.6. Also provided are methods of using the formulations for treating diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for inhibiting interleukin-3 receptor-expressing cells, and, in particular, inhibiting the growth of such cells by using a diphtheria toxin-human interleukin-3 conjugate (DT-IL3) that is toxic to cells expressing the interleukin-3 receptor. In preferred embodiments, the DT-IL3 conjugate is a fusion protein comprising amino acids 1-388 of diphtheria toxin fused via a peptide linker to full-length, human interleukin-3. In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention relate to the administration of a DT-IL3 conjugate to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and/or cancer stem cells in humans, which cells express one or more subunits of the interleukin-3 receptor. Exemplary cells include myeloid leukemia cancer stem cells.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are inhibitors, such as antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, that selectively bind complexes of LTBP1-TGF? and/or LTBP3-TGF?. The application also provides methods of use of these inhibitors for, for example, inhibiting TGF? activation, and treating subjects suffering from TGF?-related disorders, such as fibrotic conditions. Methods of selecting a context-dependent or context-independent isoform-specific TGF? inhibitor for a subject in need thereof are also provided.
