Abstract: The present invention pertains to humanized anti-CD40 antibodies having antigen binding properties similar to those of the parent chimeric anti-CD40 antibody and increased Fc? receptor binding affinities. In particular, the present invention is directed to humanized anti-CD40 antibodies which are useful in the treatment of cancer, infections and immunodeficiencies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of prevention and treatment of tumors and gastrointestinal disorders. The present invention relates to the prevention and treatment of Core-1-positive carcinomas. The invention relates to coreotics and a method of producing the same and to a method of prevention and treatment of core-1 positive disorders using the same. The invention relates to microorganisms or fractions thereof capable of activating cellular immunity against carbohydrates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a protein molecule composition having a defined glycosylation pattern, comprising (a) introducing in a host cell which is an immortalized human blood cell at least one nucleic acid encoding at least a part of said protein; and (b) culturing said host cell under conditions which permit the production of said protein molecule composition; and (c) isolating said protein molecule composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of prevention and treatment of disorders associated with the occurrence of certain carbohydrate epitopes. The present invention relates to the prevention and treatment of carbohydrate epitope positive tumors. The invention relates to formulations and methods for the induction of an effective carbohydrate specific cellular immune response.

Abstract: Described are novel single-chain multifunctional polypeptides comprising at least two binding sites specific for the CD19 and CD3 antigen, respectively. Further provided are polypeptides, wherein the above-described polypeptide comprises at least one further domain, preferably of pre-determined function. Furthermore, polynucleotides encoding said polypeptides as well as to vectors comprising said polynucleotides and host cells transformed therewith and their use in the production of said polypeptides are described. In addition, compositions, preferably pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions are provided comprising any of the afore-described polypeptides, polynucleotides or vectors. Described is also the use of the afore-mentioned polypeptides, polynucleotides and vectors for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for immunotherapy, preferably against B-cell malignancies such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
