  • Patent number: 11942149
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to binding molecules that possess one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of CD137 and one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of a tumor antigen (“TA”) (e.g., a “CD137×TA Binding Molecule”).

  • Publication number: 20240043537
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to DA×CD3 Binding Molecules comprising a vCD3-Binding Domain, which comprises a CDRH1 Domain, a CDRH2 Domain, a CDRH3 Domain, a CDRL1 Domain, a CDRL2 Domain, and a CDRL3 Domain, at least one of which differs in amino acid sequence from the amino acid sequence of the corresponding CDR of a rCD3-Binding Domain, wherein the DA×CD3 Binding Molecule comprising such vCD3-Binding Domain exhibits an altered affinity for CD3, relative to a DA×CD3 Binding Molecule comprising such rCD3-Binding Domain. The invention particularly concerns to such DA×CD3 Binding Molecules comprising a vCD3-Binding Domain which exhibit reduced affinity for CD3 and are capable of mediating redirected killing of target cells expressing a DA and exhibit lower levels of cytokine release relative to a DA×CD3 Binding Molecule comprising a rCD3-Binding Domain.

  • Patent number: 11820818
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Tri-Specific Binding Molecules, which are multi-chain polypeptide molecules that possess three Binding Domains and are thus capable of mediating coordinated binding to three epitopes. The Binding Domains may be selected such that the Tri-Specific Binding Molecules are capable of binding to any three different epitopes. Such epitopes may be epitopes of the same antigen or epitopes of two or three different antigens. In a preferred embodiment, one of such epitopes will be capable of binding to CD3, the second of such epitopes will be capable of binding to CD8, and the third of such epitopes will be capable of binding to an epitope of a Disease-Associated Antigen. The invention also provides a novel ROR1-binding antibody, as well as derivatives thereof and uses for such compositions.

  • Publication number: 20230167178
    Abstract: The present invention relates to bispecific molecules that are capable of localizing an immune effector cell that expresses an activating receptor to a virally infected cell, so as to thereby facilitate the killing of the virally infected cell. In a preferred embodiment, such localization is accomplished using bispecific molecules that are immunoreactive with an activating receptor of an immune effector cell and to an antigen expressed by a cell infected with a virus wherein the antigen is detectably present on the cell infected with the virus at a level that is greater than the level at which the antigen is detected on the virus by the bispecific molecules, and to the use of such bispecific molecules in the treatment of latent viral infections.

  • Publication number: 20210402890
    Abstract: A method for charging area management of electric vehicles is provided for managing billing of a charging area of electric vehicles. An existence of an object in the charging area is detected and object data corresponding to the object is then obtained from the object and a status of the charging device is obtained. It is then determined whether an occupancy event has occurred on the object according to the obtained status of the charging device. When it is determined that the occupancy event has occurred on the object, a billing operation corresponding to the object is performed based on the object data.
