  • Patent number: 11359028
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human OX40 receptor (OX40) and/or human GITR receptor (GITR), including multispecific antibodies that bind, e.g., to OX40 and GITR, and compositions comprising such antibodies. The antibodies disclosed herein modulate OX40 and/or GITR activity e.g., enhance, activate, induce, reduce, deactivate, or inhibit OX40 and/or GITR activity. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating disorders, such as cancer, autoimmune diseases or disorders, or inflammatory diseases or disorders, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to human OX40 and/or human GITR and modulates OX40 and/or GITR activity.

  • Patent number: 11360997
    Abstract: A synchronization protocol is provided that can be used to resolve synchronization errors encountered while trying to synchronize versions of data objects between a client device and a remote computing system. The protocol includes a client device, in an offline processing mode, handling user interface (“UI”) manipulation actions on one or more UI elements of one or more UI screens. The handling of the UI manipulation actions modifies or creates a local version of a data object stored on the client device. The UI manipulation actions are stored by the client device and sent to the remote computing system. The client device receives a synchronization error notification from the remote computing system. After receiving the notification, the client device displays, in one of the UI screens, the local version of the data object and one or more indications of a synchronization error.

  • Publication number: 20220179544
    Abstract: In response to a request to present a first user interface to a first user, a first user interface adaptation associated with the first user interface is determined, a first control flag associated with the first user interface adaptation and with a first condition is determined, the first condition based on a value of first master data, and the value of the first master data for the first user is determined, the first control flag is evaluated based on the value of the first master data for the first user. If the first control flag evaluates to True, the first user interface adaptation is applied to the first user interface and the adapted first user interface is presented to the first user and, if the first control flag evaluates to False, the first user interface is presented to the first user.

  • Publication number: 20210403546
    Abstract: Antibodies, particularly humanized and variant antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to TGF-?1 are provided, recognizing human and mouse TGF-?1, particularly that preferentially bind TGF-?1, including which do not recognize or bind TGF-?2 or TGF-?3. Humanized and variant antibodies provided are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with activated or elevated TGF-?1, including cancer, and for modulating immune cells and immune response, including immune response to cancer or cancer antigens, and in fibrotic conditions. The anti-TGF-?1 antibodies, variable regions or CDR domain sequences thereof, and fragments thereof may also be used in lymphoid cell-mediated, including T cell-mediated, therapy and/or combination with chemotherapeutics, immune modulators, or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.
