Also provided are methods of assessing the activity of human-liver-targeting reagents in such non-human animals and methods of making animals with a humanized liver (e.g., with reduced steatosis). Also provided are genetically modified non-human animals comprising an inactivated endogenous Rag2 gene, an inactivated endogenous Il2rg gene, an inactivated endogenous Fah gene, a humanized IL6 gene, and optionally an inactivated endogenous Rag1 gene and methods of using and making such animals.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions related to the treatment or prevention of cancer (e.g., by targeting a tumor in a subject with cancer) by administering to a subject an agent that inhibits autophagy. In certain aspects, provided herein are methods of compositions related to methods of sensitizing cancer cells to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) mediated killing by contacting the cells or administering the agent that inhibits autophagy.

Abstract: Provided herein are bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind HER2 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 HER2. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules cluster on the surface of HER2 IHC2+ and IHC3+ cells, and are internalized into the cellular lysosomes. Also included are antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising the antibodies or bispecific antigen-binding molecules provided herein linked to a cytotoxic agent, radionuclide, or other moiety, as well as methods of treating cancer in a subject by administering to the subject a bispecific antigen-binding molecule or an ADC thereof.

Abstract: Non-human animals, expressing humanized CD3 proteins are provided. Non-human animals, e.g., rodents, genetically modified to comprise in their genome humanized CD3 proteins are also provided. Additionally, provided are methods and compositions of making such non-human animals, as well as methods of using said non-human animals.

Abstract: Non-human animals, and methods and compositions for making and using the same, are provided, wherein said non-human animals comprise a humanization of an endogenous cluster of differentiation (CD) gene, in particular a humanization of a CD47 gene.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating, ameliorating, or inhibiting tumor growth, cancer, or pathological angiogenesis by administering to a subject in need thereof a human antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds to human delta-like ligand 4 (hDll4) and blocks hDll4 binding to a Notch receptor. The anti-hDll4 antibody or fragment thereof of the present invention have a high affinity with the KD of 500 pM or less, as measured by surface plasmon resonance.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for treating or inhibiting the growth of a tumor, including selecting a patient with cancer, wherein the patient has a tumor with threshold levels of both tumor mutation burden and expression of major histocompatibility complex, and administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof). In some embodiments, the cancer is skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
