Abstract: Described are novel anti-CTLA-4 antibody molecules and nucleotide sequences and expression vectors, such as viruses, encoding such antibody molecules. The novel antibody molecules are Treg depleting antibody molecules, and they have an improved depleting effect on CTLA-4 positive cells, such as Tregs, compared to ipilimumab. Described is also the use of such antibody molecules or nucleotide sequences or viruses in medicine, such as in the treatment of cancer, such as solid tumours.

Abstract: Described are novel antibody molecules that specifically bind to TNFR2 on a target cell and thereby agonize TNFR2, but that do not block the ligand TNF-? from binding to the TNFR2. Also described is the use of such antibody molecules in medicine, i.a, in treatment of cancer or chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating a patient having target cells that express Fc?RIIb, the method comprising administering (i) an antibody molecule that specifically binds a surface antigen of the target cell, which antibody molecule has an Fc domain capable of binding Fc?RIIb; in combination with (ii) an agent that prevents or reduces binding between the Fc domain of the antibody molecule and Fc?RIIb; characterized in that the patient is selected on the basis that their target cells express an elevated level of Fc?RIIb.

Abstract: Described is the sequential administration of first a Treg depleting antibody molecule selected from antibody molecules, such as an antibody molecule binding specifically to target belonging to the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF), such as a Treg depleting anti-4-1 BB antibody or a Treg depleting OX-40 antibody, and then an immunostimulatory antibody molecule, such as an immunostimulatory anti-4-1 BB anti-body or an immunostimulatory OX-40 antibody, for use in the treatment of cancer. Described are also novel anti-4-1 BB antibodies and novel OX-40 antibodies that may be used in such sequential administration.

Abstract: Described is the use of a first antibody molecule that specifically binds Fc?RIIb via its Fab region, but lacks Fc region or has reduced binding to Fc? receptors via its Fc region, for use in combination with a second antibody molecule that specifically binds to a receptor present on an immune cell, wherein the immune cell is an immune cell that suppresses anti-cancer immunity, which second antibody molecule has an Fc region that binds to at least one activating Fc? receptor, and wherein the binding of the second antibody molecule to the receptor on the immune cell causes depletion and/or deactivation of the immune cell in the treatment of an Fc?RIIb-negative cancer in a patient, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising these to antibody molecules, and methods of treating cancer using these two antibodies.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating a patient having target cells that express FcyRIIb, the method comprising administering (i) an antibody molecule that specifically binds a surface antigen of the target cell, which antibody molecule has an Fc domain capable of binding FcyRIIb; in combination with (ii) an agent that prevents or reduces binding between the Fc domain of the antibody molecule and FcyRIIb; characterized in that the patient is selected on the basis that their target cells express an elevated level of FcyRIIb.

Abstract: The present invention relates to screening methods and, in particular, to methods of screening anti-ligand libraries for identifying anti-ligands specific for differentially and/or infrequently expressed ligands. The method comprises the steps of providing a library of anti-ligands: providing a first subtractor ligand; providing a second target ligand; determining the amount of the first and second target ligands using one or more equations derived from the universal law of mass action; providing the determined amount of a first subtractor ligand; providing the determined amount of a second target ligand; providing separation means capable of use to isolate anti-ligand bound to the second target ligand from anti-ligand bound to the first subtractor ligand; exposing the library of to the first and second target ligands to permit binding of anti-ligands to ligands; and using the separation means to isolate the anti-ligand bound to second target ligand.
