Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies and bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind MET and methods of use thereof. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprise a first and a second antigen-binding domain, wherein the first and second antigen-binding domains bind to two different (preferably non-overlapping) epitopes of the extracellular domain of human MET. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules are capable of blocking the interaction between human MET and its ligand HGF. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules can exhibit minimal or no MET agonist activity, e.g., as compared to monovalent antigen-binding molecules that comprise only one of the antigen-binding domains of the bispecific molecule, which tend to exert unwanted MET agonist activity.

Abstract: A bispecific antibody format providing ease of isolation is provided, comprising immunoglobulin heavy chain variable domains that are differentially modified in the CH3 domain, wherein the differential modifications are non-immunogenic or substantially non-immunogenic with respect to the CH3 modifications, and at least one of the modifications results in a differential affinity for the bispecific antibody for an affinity reagent such as Protein A, and the bispecific antibody is isolable from a disrupted cell, from medium, or from a mixture of antibodies based on its affinity for Protein A.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides antigen-binding proteins that specifically bind to an H LA-displayed New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1) peptide, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods of using those binding proteins. The antigen-binding proteins of the present disclosure bind with a high degree of specificity to HLA-displayed NY-ESO-1 and do not bind to HLA-displayed peptides that differ by 2, 3, 4, 5 or more amino acids.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for maintaining a desired optical output in a solid state illumination device, where the device is configured to accommodate multiple light emitting diodes (LEDs) and to combine light from the LEDs to produce a single optical output. The method includes testing the LEDs before adding them into the device. The testing produces characterizing information that describes how one or more optical properties (e.g., optical power and/or peak wavelength) of the tested LED change with temperature. This characterizing information is stored in a computer-based memory of the device, and the tested LED is added (connected) into the device. Then, during operation, temperature sensors measure a temperature associated with each respective LED in the device, and electrical current to one or more of the LEDs can be adjusted based on the measured temperatures associated with each LED and its stored characterizing information.
