Abstract: The instant disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to CD73 (e.g., human CD73) and antagonize CD73 function. Also provided are anti-CD73 antibodies that further comprise a TGF?-binding moiety or a VEGF-binding moiety. The instant disclosure additionally provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, expression vectors and host cells for making these antibodies, and methods of treating a subject using these antibodies.

Abstract: Disclosed are a bispecific antigen-binding construct and the preparation method and use thereof, wherein the construct comprises a first antigen binding unit and a second antigen binding unit, the first antigen binding unit is a single chain variable region antibody fragment ScFV which specifically binds to the surface antigen of immune cells, and the second antigen binding unit is a Slit2D2 protein fragment which specifically binds to the surface antigen Robo1 of tumour cells. That is to say, the construct can bind to the surface antigen of immune cells and the surface Robo1 molecule of tumour cells at the same time, so that as the distance between tumour cells and immune cells get smaller, the quiescent immune cells are effectively activated, and the effect of killing and wounding tumours is produced.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to ILT7 binding molecules, e.g., anti-ILT7 antibodies, and methods for treating or preventing conditions and diseases associated with ILT7-expressing cells such as autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Provided herein are DLL3 binding agents and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) comprising a DLL3 binding molecule that specifically binds to DLL3; and immune cells comprising these DLL3-specific CARs, e.g., CAR-T cells. Also provided are methods of making and using DLL3-specific CARs, and immune cells comprising DLL3-specific CARs.

Abstract: The present invention provides a combination therapy for treatment of a tumour in a subject. The combination therapy comprises administration of (i) an antibody directed against cancer stem cells and (ii) a checkpoint inhibitor.

Abstract: The ligand for VISTA is identified (VSIG3) as well as the use of this ligand and receptor interaction in the identification or synthesis of a VSIG3 agonist or antagonist compounds, preferably antibodies, polypeptides and fusion proteins which agonize or antagonize the effects of VSIG3 and/or VISTA and/or the VSIG3/VISTA interaction. These antagonists may be used to suppress VSIG3/VISTA's suppressive effects on T cell immunity, and more particularly used in the treatment of cancer, or infectious disease. These agonist compounds may be used to potentiate or enhance VSIG3/VISTA's suppressive effects on T cell immunity and thereby suppress T cell immunity, such as in the treatment of autoimmunity, allergy or inflammatory conditions. Screening assays for identifying these agonists and antagonist compounds are also provided.

Abstract: The invention discloses that ER-negative breast cancers can be converted into ER positive breast cancers, such as to a breast cancer of luminal-like phenotype by treatment with anti-PDGF-CC antibodies. ER-positive breast cancers, including luminal-like breast cancers can be treated with anti-estrogen treatment. On this basis the invention discloses that surprisingly, ER-negative breast cancers can be treated with anti-estrogen treatment, if the treatment is combined with treatment with anti-PDGF-CC antibodies. Said treatment may for example be an adjuvant treatment, for example a treatment aiming at reducing the risk of relapse of a breast cancer after removal of the primary tumor by surgery.

Abstract: A therapeutic agent capable of binding to the receptor CLPTM1 at the surface of an immune cell and modulating its activity for use in modulating the activity of the immune system to treat cancer, wherein the therapeutic agent is capable of inhibiting the growth and/or viability of an anti-inflammatory and/or immunosuppressive cell to relieve unwanted or deleterious immunosuppression by eliminating anti-inflammatory and/or immunosuppressive immune cells; and/or the therapeutic agent is capable of stimulating an antigen-presenting immune cell and acts to stimulate antigen-presenting immune cells to activate an anti-cancer immune response.

Abstract: A conjugate of formula (I): Ab-(DL)p wherein: Ab is an antibody, or an active fragment of an antibody; DL is (II).

Abstract: The present application provides methods and compositions for treating cancer, for example, renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, ovarian, breast, prostate, colon, pancreatic, bladder, liver, lung, and thyroid cancer, and more particularly to using an inhibitor of a stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) enzyme in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor to treat these disorders.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibody sequences found in antibodies that bind to human CD38. In particular, the present disclosure provides sequences of anti-human CD38 antibodies. Antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof including such sequences present features compatible with pharmaceutical manufacturing and development can be provided as fully human antibodies (e.g., fully human monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding fragments) that can be useful for medical methods and compositions, in particular for treating cancer.

Abstract: A combination of drugs having a higher antitumor effect is provided. There is provided an adjuvant composition containing a pH sensitive carrier and a natural immunity-activating substance, the adjuvant composition being used to be administered in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
