  • Publication number: 20160152725
    Abstract: Antigen-binding proteins specific for HLA-A2-restricted Wilms tumor 1 peptide are disclosed. The antigen-binding proteins encompass antibodies in a variety of forms, including full-length antibodies, substantially intact antibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab?)2 fragments, and single chain Fv (scFv) fragments, as well as chimeric antigen receptors. Fusion proteins, such as scFv fusions with immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor domains, incorporating the antigen-binding proteins are provided. Methods of using the antigen-binding proteins in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20150322154
    Abstract: Antigen binding proteins with TCR-like paratopes, that is, with an antigen binding region specific for an HLA-A2 restricted peptide are disclosed. The antigen binding proteins encompass antibodies in a variety of forms, including full-length antibodies, substantially intact antibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab?)2 fragments, and single chain Fv fragments. Fusion proteins, such as scFv fusions with immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor domains, incorporating the specificity of the antigen binding region for each peptide are also contemplated by the invention. Furthermore, immunoconjugates may include antibodies to which is linked a radioisotope, fluorescent or other detectable marker, cytotoxin, or other molecule are also encompassed by the invention. Among other things, immunoconjugates can be used for delivery of an agent to elicit a therapeutic effect or to facilitate an immune effector function.
