  • Patent number: 11597771
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies with specificity for FGFR1. More particularly, the invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that bind specifically to and neutralize human, macaque and mouse forms of FGFR1 with high affinity. The invention also relates to nucleic acids encoding said antibodies, vectors for expression of these nucleic acids, and host cells for producing said antibodies. Further, the invention relates to the use of said antibodies in the diagnosis and/or treatment of cancers.

  • Publication number: 20220306708
    Abstract: The invention relates to bifunctional stapled or stitched peptides comprising a targeting domain, a linker moiety, and an effector domain, that can be used to tether, or to bring into close proximity, at least two cellular entities (e.g., proteins). Certain aspects relate to bifunctional stapled or stitched peptides that bind to an effector biomolecule through the effector domain and bind to a target biomolecule through the targeting domain. Polypeptides and/or polypeptide complexes that are tethered by the bifunctional stapled or stitched peptides of the invention, where the effector polypeptide bound to the effector domain of the bifunctional stapled or stitched peptide modifies or alters the target polypeptide bound to the targeting domain of the bifunctional peptide. Uses of the inventive bifunctional stapled or stitched peptides including methods for treatment of disease (e.g., cancer, inflammatory diseases) are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20180100001
    Abstract: The invention relates to bifunctional stapled or stiched peptides comprising a targeting domain, a linker moiety, and an effector domain, that can be used to tether, or to bring into close proximity, at least two cellular entities (e.g., proteins). Certain aspects relate to bifunctional stapled or stiched peptides that bind to an effector biomolecule through the effector domain and bind to a target biomolecule through the targeting domain. Polypeptides and/or polypeptide complexes that are tethered by the bifunctional stapled or stiched peptides of the invention, where the effector polypeptide bound to the effector domain of the bifunctional stapled or stiched peptide modifies or alters the target polypeptide bound to the targeting domain of the bifunctional peptide. Usesses of the inventive bifunctional stapled or stiched peptides including methods for treatment of disease (e.g., cancer, inflammatory diseases) are also provided.
