Abstract: Methods for treatment of Axl-expressing cancers are provided. The methods involve administering to a subject in need thereof, a polypeptide having a heavy chain variable region and/or light chain variable region that specifically binds to Axl protein, antibodies or antibody fragments containing the polypeptide, and/or an immunoconjugate compound thereof. The immunoconjugate compound is a Conditionally Active Biologic (CAB) anti-Axl antibody conjugated to one or more drug(s) via a cleavable linker (CAB-Axl-ADC). The immunoconjugate is a mAbBA3011-cleavable linker-MMAE (n) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in which the mAbBA3011 is an antibody or antibody fragment, the MMAE is monomethyl auristatin E, and the (n) is an integer between 1 and 4.

Abstract: A system for delivering a payload nucleic acid into target cells of a subject and production of a payload (or payloads) encoded by the payload nucleic acid in the cells. The system includes a Bifidobacterium sp. bacterium comprising a plasmid and a transporter nucleic acid, the transporter nucleic acid configured for expression in the bacterium. The transporter nucleic acid encodes a transporter polypeptide comprising, in an amino-terminal to carboxy-terminal order, a bacterial secretion signal peptide, a DNA-binding domain to bind the plasmid, and a cell penetrating peptide. The transporter polypeptide complexes with the plasmid and transports the plasmid from the bacterium into the target cells. The plasmid encodes one or more payloads (protein and/or ribonucleic acid) for production in the target cells. The target cells may be colonic cells. When the payload(s) include an antigen, the system may be a DNA vaccine.

Abstract: A polypeptide having a heavy chain variable region and/or light chain variable region that specifically binds to ROR2 protein as well as antibodies and antibody fragments containing the heavy chain variable region and/or the light chain variable region that bind to ROR2 protein. Pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the polypeptide or antibodies and antibody fragments containing the polypeptide are also provided, as well as use of such polypeptide or antibodies or antibody fragments in methods of treating ROR2-expressing cancers.

Abstract: Methods for the treatment of CD30-expressing cancers are provided.
