  • Publication number: 20230272116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a set of antibodies which bind to antigens on target cells and which target radionuclides to said cells, and to methods of using the same. The antibodies each comprising a Fab binding to the target antigen fused at the C-terminus of the VH to the N-terminus of the Fc and a VH or VL binding to a radiolabelled compound. The VH or VL are fused at the C-terminus to the N-terminus of the Fc. VH and VL form an antigen binding site when the antibody binds via the scFv to the target antigen.

  • Patent number: 11740914
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for positioning application windows based on existing application layout and anticipated user workflows. When an existing application window and a recently launched application window are determined to be related to a workflow, and the default position of the recently launched application window is determined to overlap with the existing application window, the recently launched application window may be displayed in a non-default display region to avoid occlusion. By avoiding occlusion, the foldable device may provide a user-friendly application layout, reducing the number of times a user will move, resize, or switch between application windows in the workflow. This in turn may improve device performance and efficiency while reducing errors attributable to user input. The user-friendly layout may also enable a user to view more content at the same time, increasing productivity, reducing eye strain, facilitating operations such as cut and paste, etc.

  • Publication number: 20230266324
    Abstract: The invention is concerned with a method of predicting response to a PD-1 axis inhibitor such as anti-PD-L1 antibody by determining the abundance of dendritic cells (DCs) in a tumor tissue sample. The abundance of DCs characterized by enhanced expressions of XCR1, IRF8, BATF3 and FLT3 predicts clinical response to the PD-L1 blockade treatment.

  • Patent number: 11732052
    Abstract: Provided is a bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecule with a first binding domain binding an antigen on CD8+ T-cells that does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and a second binding domain binding to a tumor specific antigen naturally occurring on the surface of a tumor cell. The bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecules are particularly useful in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor. The (bispecific) antibody molecules can be used in a method for the treatment of particular diseases, wherein the (bispecific) antibody molecules are administered in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor in a specific treatment regimen.
