  • Patent number: 12473360
    Abstract: A multi-specific antibody contains at least one binding site for a cell specific antigen and at least one binding site for a tumor-reactive lymphocyte antigen and a multi-specific antibody including an IgG antibody or fragment thereof that binds to a first antigen; and at least one scFv antibody that binds to a second antigen that is different from the first antigen and is linked to a C terminus of at least one light chain or heavy chain of said IgG antibody or fragment. The multi-specific antibody reversibly binds to at least one of the cell specific antigen and tumor-reactive lymphocyte antigen or the first antigen and the second antigen with a greater affinity at an aberrant condition than at a normal physiological condition. Conjugates of the multi-specific antibodies and methods for generating the multi-specific antibody are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240417886
    Abstract: Methods of generating conditionally active biologic proteins, in particular therapeutic or diagnostic proteins, which are more active at an aberrant condition than at a normal physiological condition. The methods include discovery methods using libraries of proteins and assays employing physiological concentrations of components of bodily fluids. The conditionally active biologic proteins may be further evolved, conjugated to other molecules, masked, reduced in activity by attaching a cleavable moiety. Criteria for selecting starting proteins for the discovery methods, as well as formats of the proteins are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240400659
    Abstract: A polypeptide or conditionally active protein suitable for prevention or treatment of a neurodegenerative disease that binds to ApoE. The conditionally active protein binds to ApoE with an increased binding activity at an aberrant condition such as an acidic pH in a dementia brain in comparison with the binding activity to ApoE at a normal physiological condition such as the pH of blood. A method for generating the conditionally active protein is also provided.
