Abstract: In one aspect, antibodies that specifically bind to a human Tau protein are provided. In some embodiments, an anti-Tau antibody recognizes an epitope within residues 111-125 of full-length human Tau, an epitope within residues 251-270 and/or residues 346-360 of full-length human Tau, or an epitope within residues 186-205 of full-length human Tau. In some embodiments, an anti-Tau antibody specifically binds to phosphorylated human Tau, unphosphorylated human Tau, and/or multiple splice isoforms of human Tau. An anti-Tau antibody disclosed herein may also include one or two modified Fc polypeptides.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to anti-HER2 constructs, such as Fc polypeptide dimer-antibody variable region fusion proteins, that cross the BBB and bind to HER2 in the brain parenchyma. In some embodiments, the anti-HER2 constructs (e.g., Fc polypeptide dimer-antibody variable region fusion proteins) retain effector function upon binding to HER2, but do not substantially deplete reticulocytes in vivo. The present disclosure also relates to methods for transcytosing an anti-HER2 antibody variable region across the BBB and treating HER2-positive cancers and metastatic lesions thereof.

Abstract: In one aspect, antibodies that specifically bind to a human triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) protein are provided. In some embodiments, the antibody increases levels of soluble TREM2 (sTREM2). In some embodiments, the antibody decreases levels of sTREM2. In some embodiments, the antibody enhances TREM2 activity. In some embodiments, the antibody inhibits TREM2 activity.
