  • Publication number: 20150232560
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for determining a combination of antigen binding sites comprising the steps of (i) determining the binding specificity and/or affinity and/or effector function and/or in vivo half-life of a multitude of bispecific antibodies prepared by combining each member of a first multitude of antibody Fab fragments or scFv antibody fragments with each member of a second multitude of antibody Fab fragments or scFv antibody fragments, and a linker comprising at one of its termini the second member of the first binding pair and at the respective other terminus the second member of the second binding pair, whereby the first multitude specifically binds to a first cell surface molecule and the second multitude specifically binds to a second cell surface molecule, and (ii) choosing the bispecific antibody with suitable binding specificity and/or affinity and/or effector function and/or in vivo half-life and thereby determining a combination of antigen binding sites.

  • Publication number: 20150099707
    Abstract: The invention provides a Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) comprising an amino acid sequence having a substitution of one or more B-cell and/or T-cell epitopes. The invention further provides related chimeric molecules, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, and pharmaceutical compositions. Methods of treating or preventing cancer in a mammal, methods of inhibiting the growth of a target cell, methods of producing the PE, and methods of producing the chimeric molecule are further provided by the invention.

  • Publication number: 20150010567
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecule with a first binding domain binding an antigen on CD8+ T-cells that does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and a second binding domain binding to a tumor specific antigen naturally occurring on the surface of a tumor cell. The bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecules are particularly useful in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor.

  • Publication number: 20130344094
    Abstract: Herein is reported a polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex as therapeutic agent and its use as tool for the targeted delivery of an effector moiety. The polynucleotide part of the complex is essentially resistant to proteolytic and enzymatic degradation in vivo. Additionally the polypeptide part specifically binds to a compound or structure such as a tissue or organ, a process or a disease. Thus, one aspect as reported herein is a polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex comprising a) a polypeptide specifically binding to a target and conjugated to a first member of a binding pair, b) a polynucleotide linker conjugated at its first terminus to the second member of the binding pair, and c) an effector moiety conjugated to a polynucleotide that is complementary to at least a part of the polynucleotide linker.
