Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for treating solid tumors (e.g., pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDA), colorectal cancer (CRC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)), or Cholangiocarcinoma and others), including, but not limited to, metastatic tumors, using an anti-Galectin-9 antibody.

Abstract: Combined therapy for a solid tumor, comprising an antibody that binds human galectin-9 (anti-Gal9 antibody, e.g., G9.2-17), and one or more chemotherapeutics, for example, gemcitabine, paclitaxel, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1) binding polypeptides and NPC1 binding peptide conjugates comprising these binding polypeptides. The present invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these NPC1 binding polypeptide and binding peptide conjugates and the use of these compositions to treat a variety of conditions, including cancer, infectious diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory conditions, and bone conditions. The NPC1 binding conjugates are also useful for enhancing endosomal release of pharmaceutically active moieties.

Abstract: The current application describes various compositions and methods for the production of FN3-based binding proteins with improved stability properties. Aspects of the disclosure relate to polypeptides comprising a variant fibronectin type III (FN3) domain from Sulfolobus tokodaii or Pyrococcus horikoshii comprising one or more amino acid substitutions or insertions in a loop region of FN3, in a non-loop region of FN3, or in both.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions comprising macropinocytosis selective non-binding protein-drug conjugates. These non-binding protein-drug conjugates comprise a non-binding fibronectin type III (FN3) domain coupled to a pharmaceutically active moiety or a diagnostic moiety. The disclosure is also directed to methods of treatment and diagnosis that involve administering the pharmaceutical compositions described herein to a subject in need.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are antibodies specific to a delta1 chain of a ?? T cell receptor and methods of using such for modulating ?? T cell bioactivity.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for binding Ras in a nucleotide free state (apo RAS) and inhibiting Ras signaling. In one embodiment, the invention provides monobodies that specifically bind apo RAS and methods of use. Thus, in diseases and conditions where a reduction of Ras signaling is beneficial, such inhibitory compositions act as therapeutics.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions of enzyme-binding polypeptides (EBPs) that modify the substrate specificity of an enzyme and a method for identifying an EBP that modifies substrate specificity of an enzyme binding at least one substrate, the method comprising: contacting the enzyme with a polypeptide library comprising a plurality of EBPs that bind different epitopes of the enzyme; identifying EBPs that bind to the enzyme to form an EBP-enzyme complex; assaying for the activity level and substrate specificity of the EBP-enzyme complex; and identifying EBPs that modify the substrate specificity of the enzyme by identifying EBPs that, when in an EBP-enzyme complex, have a different substrate specificity than un-complexed EBP; wherein the catalytic rate constant of the EBP-enzyme complex is ?50% of the un-complexed enzyme for at least one substrate and/or wherein the EBP-enzyme complex retains binding to a substrate.
