  • Publication number: 20230235059
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides PD-1 binding proteins, particularly anti-PD-1 antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind PD-1 and uses thereof. In one embodiment, the anti-PD-1 antibody comprises an antigen binding portion that binds a human PD-1 epitope or a non-human PD-1 epitope. Various aspects of the anti-PD-1 antibodies relate to antibody fragments, single-chain antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions, nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, and methods for preparing and using such anti-PD-1 antibodies. Methods for using the anti-PD-1 antibodies include in vitro and in vivo methods for binding PD-1, blocking interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1, detecting PD-1, and treating diseases associated with PD-L1 over-expression or PD-L1 detrimental expression.

  • Publication number: 20220144966
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides anti-CD38 antigen-binding proteins such as fully human anti-CD38 IgG class antibodies each having an altered amino acid sequence in their heavy chain variable region and/or light chain variable region compared to their wild type parent antibody. The present disclosure provides engineered CD38 binding proteins, particularly anti-CD38 variant antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind CD38, and uses thereof. The disclosed anti-CD38 antigen-binding proteins and antibodies have been engineered to exhibit improved characteristics compared to the parent antibody, such as improved binding to CD38 antigen, improved binding to CD38-expressing cells, and/or higher levels of cytotoxicity. The anti-CD38 variant antibodies can cross-react (bind) with cynomolgus CD38.
