  • Publication number: 20160068605
    Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies that immunospecifically bind to CD123. Also described are related polynucleotides capable of encoding the provided CD123-specific antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, cells expressing the provided antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, as well as associated vectors and detectably labeled antibodies or antigen-binding fragments. In addition, methods of using the provided antibodies are described. For example, the provided antibodies may be used to diagnose, treat, or monitor CD123-expressing cancer progression, regression, or stability; to determine whether or not a patient should be treated for cancer; or to determine whether or not a subject is afflicted with CD123-expressing cancer and thus may be amenable to treatment with a CD123-specific anti-cancer therapeutic, such as the multispecific antibodies against CD123 and CD3 described herein.

  • Patent number: 9062305
    Abstract: Described and claimed herein are combinatorial synthetic Fab libraries displayed on a phage pIX protein. The libraries were built on scaffolds representing the most frequently used genes in human antibodies, which were diversified to mirror the variability of natural antibodies. After selection using a diverse panel of proteins, numerous specific and high-affinity Fabs were isolated. By a process called in-line maturation the affinity of some antibodies was improved up to one hundred-fold yielding low pM binders suitable for in vivo use. This work thus demonstrates the feasibility of displaying complex Fab libraries as pIX-fusion proteins for antibody discovery and lays the foundations for studies on the structure-function relationship of antibodies.
