Abstract: An interleukin 15 (IL-15) protein complex is provided. The IL-15 protein complex includes soluble fusion proteins (I) and (II), wherein the fusion protein (I) is an IL-15 polypeptide or a functional fragment thereof, and the soluble fusion protein (II) is an IL-15R? polypeptide or a functional fragment thereof. The soluble fusion protein (I) has at least one amino acid residue mutated to a cysteine (Cys) residue, which pairs with a corresponding mutated Cys residue on the soluble fusion protein (II), or vice versa, to form one or more disulfide bonds. The IL-15 protein complex can be used for tumor therapy.

Abstract: IL33 antagonists alone or in combination with IL-4R antagonists can be used to treat or inhibit eosinophilic asthma, eosinophilic COPD, eosinophilic ACOS, and nasal polyps in a subject having one or more risk alleles in the intronic IL1RL1 variant rs1420101, in the IL33 variant rs1342326, in both, or in variants in linkage disequilibrium thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to antigen binding proteins and in particular to IL-1? antigen binding proteins. The present invention further provides compositions comprising the antigen binding proteins, use of the antigen binding proteins and methods for production.

Abstract: Provided are various embodiments relating to anti-IL31 antibodies binding to canine IL31. Such antibodies can be used in methods to treat IL31-induced conditions in companion animals, such as canines, felines, and equines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heterodimeric Fc-fused protein comprising a first Fc region and a second Fc region of an immunoglobulin Fc pair and a physiologically active protein composed of two or more different subunits, wherein one or more subunits of the physiologically active protein are linked separately to one or more ends of the N-terminus or C-terminus of the first Fc region and/or the second Fc region, and CH3 domains of the first Fc region and the second Fc region are mutated so as to promote the heterodimeric Fc formation. Moreover, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the heterodimeric Fc-fused protein.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides T-cell modulatory multimeric polypeptides (T-Cell-MMP) and their epitope conjugates comprising at least one immunomodulatory polypeptide (“MOD”) that may be selected to exhibit reduced binding affinity to a cognate co-immunomodulatory polypeptide (“Co-MOD”). The epitope may be, for example, a cancer-associated epitope, an infectious disease-associated epitope, or a self-epitope. The T-Cell-MMP-epitope conjugates are useful for modulating the activity of a T-cell by delivering immunomodulatory peptides, such as IL-2 or IL-2 variants that exhibit reduced binding affinity for the IL-2R, to T-cells in an epitope selective/specific manner, and accordingly, for treating individuals with a cancer, infectious disease or autoimmune disorder.
