  • Publication number: 20220162320
    Abstract: Provided herein are HLA-PEPTIDE targets and multispecific antigen binding proteins that bind HLA-PEPTIDE targets. Provided herein is an isolated multispecific antigen binding protein (ABP), comprising: a first antigen binding domain (ABD) that specifically binds to a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-PEPTIDE target; and an additional ABD that specifically binds an additional antigen, wherein the HLA-PEPTIDE target comprises an HLA-restricted peptide complexed with an HLA Class I molecule, wherein the HLA-restricted peptide is located in the peptide binding groove of an ?1/?2 heterodimer portion of the HLA Class I molecule, and wherein the HLA-PEPTIDE target is selected from Table A, Table A1, or Table A2.

  • Patent number: 9889197
    Abstract: Diabody molecules and uses thereof in the treatment of a variety of diseases and disorders, including immunological disorders, infectious disease, intoxication and cancers are disclosed. The diabody molecules comprise two polypeptide chains that associate to form at least two epitope binding sites, which may recognize the same or different epitopes on the same or differing antigens. Additionally, the antigens may be from the same or different molecules. The individual polypeptide chains of the diabody molecule may be covalently bound through non-peptide bond covalent bonds, such as disulfide bonding of cysteine residues located within each polypeptide chain. The diabody molecules may further comprise an Fc region, which allows antibody-like functionality to be engineered into the molecule.

  • Patent number: 9096877
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Fc region-containing polypeptides that exhibit improved effector function due to alterations of the extent of fucosylation, and to methods of using such polypeptides for treating or preventing cancer and other diseases. The Fc region-containing polypeptides of the present invention are preferably immunoglobulins (e.g., antibodies), in which the Fc region comprises at least one amino acid substitution relative to the corresponding amino acid sequence of a wild type Fc region, and which is sufficient to attenuate post-translational fucosylation and mediate improved binding to an activating Fc receptor and reduced binding to an inhibitory Fc receptor. The methods of the invention are particularly useful in preventing, treating, or ameliorating one or more symptoms associated with a disease, disorder, or infection where either an enhanced efficacy of effector cell function mediated by Fc?R is desired (e.g.
