Abstract: Provided herein are multispecific binding proteins comprising (a) a first antigen binding domain (ABD) comprising an immunoglobulin single variable domain (ISVD) (e.g., VHH) with binding specificity to CD28; and (b) a second ABD comprising an immunoglobulin heavy chain variable domain (VH) and an immunoglobulin light chain variable domain (VL) with binding specificity to OX40. Also provided are methods of treating autoimmune diseases with said multispecific binding proteins.

Abstract: A recombinant adenovirus in which the expression of a nucleic acid sequence coding for at least one homologous or heterologous gene of viral origin is placed under the control of an inducible promoter, is disclosed. The use of such recombinant adenoviruses for preparing AAVs, and a complementary cell line and preparation method therefor, are also disclosed. Furthermore, pharmaceutical compositions containing such an adenovirus are disclosed.

Abstract: Modification of internal sites of the adenovirus fiber protein and hexon protein permit effective targeting of adenovirus vectors. Accessible sites to redirect adenovirus targeting were identified. The HVR5 loop of the hexon protein and the HI loop of the fiber protein (knob) were highly permissive for the insertion of foreign protein sequences, which apparently did not impact on the viability and productivity of corresponding viruses. Accessibility and functionality of the epitope strongly depend on the size of the neighboring spacers. Other results suggest that short targeting peptides can be effectively fused to the C-terminus of the fiber protein. In a specific embodiment, a series of adenovirus vectors modified at the HVR5 site, the fiber protein HI loop, or the fiber protein C-terminus to target urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor bearing cells were prepared. Such vectors are particularly useful for targeting the vasculature, e.g., for gene therapy of cancers or cardiovascular conditions.
