  • Publication number: 20170267773
    Abstract: Human antibodies, preferably recombinant human antibodies, both humanized and chimeric, which specifically bind to human OX40 are disclosed. Preferred antibodies have high affinity for OX40 receptor and activate the receptor in vitro and in vivo. The antibody can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. The antibodies, or antibody portions, are useful for modulating receptor activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which OX40 activity is detrimental. Nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expressing the recombinant human antibodies are provided, and methods of synthesizing the recombinant human antibodies, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9540442
    Abstract: The invention provides constant regions incorporating a cysteine mutation and linked to a ? tailpiece and antibodies or fusion proteins incorporating the same. The constant regions include at least CH2 and CH3 regions of an IgG heavy chain constant region including a cysteine mutation and ? tailpiece. Antibodies or fusion proteins incorporating the constant regions gains the ability to form multivalent complexes, e.g., pentameric or hexameric structures. Antibodies or fusion proteins incorporating the constant regions also retain IgG properties including specific binding to protein G, which facilitates purification and may exhibit pH-dependent FcRn binding, which is associated with a relatively long in vivo half-life. Depending on the isotype and subtype, the nature of the antigen and presence of an additional IgG hinge domain, such antibodies or fusion proteins may also have properties of specific binding to protein A, and effector functions such as ADCC, CDC and opsonization.

  • Publication number: 20160369012
    Abstract: The invention provides hybrid constant regions and antibodies or fusion proteins incorporating the same. The hybrid constant regions include at least CH2 and CH3 regions of an IgG or IgA constant region and C?3 and C?4 regions of a C? constant region. The hybrids retain properties of both component constant regions. The hybrids retain the ability of a C? constant region to form multivalent complexes, e.g., pentameric or hexameric structures. IgG hybrids also retain IgG properties including pH-dependent FcRn binding, which is associated with a relatively long in vivo half-life, and specific binding to protein G, which facilitates purification. Depending on the isotype and subtype, the nature of the antigen and presence of additional IgG CH1 and hinge domains, IgG hybrids may also retain properties of specific binding to protein A, and effector functions ADCC, CDC and opsonization. IgA hybrids retain the property of IgA of binding to an Fc-alpha receptor CD89.

  • Publication number: 20150315279
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for binding to the membrane-bound form of IL1 RAP. In some embodiments, the invention provides an isolated antibody that binds the membrane bound fom1 of human IL1 RAP. In some cases, the isolated antibody that binds the membrane-bound form of human IL1 RAP does not bind, or does not substantially bind, the soluble form of human IL1 RAP. For example, in some cases, the isolated antibody that binds the membrane-bound form of human IL1RAP does not bind, or does not substantially bind the soluble form of human IL1RAP that is found in normal human serum. In some cases, the soluble form of human IL1 RAP comprises the sequence GNRCGQ.
