  • Publication number: 20220098299
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to improved methods for use of a humanized binding polypeptide specific for the alpha beta T cell receptor (??-TCR). In particular, this disclosure relates to improved methods of use of a humanized anti-??-TCR antibody, which is derived from the murine monoclonal antibody BMA031, in immunosuppressive therapy. Novel methods using humanized monoclonal antibodies and/or humanized monoclonal antibody fragments (e.g., anti-??TCR antibodies and/or fragments thereof) are also provided. Novel methods using repetitive administration of humanized monoclonal antibodies and/or humanized monoclonal antibody fragments (e.g., anti-??TCR antibodies and/or fragments thereof) to reduce ?? T cells in the subject relative to ?? T cells in the subject are provided.

  • Publication number: 20170166620
    Abstract: The invention is directed to cancer immunotherapy. The invention is specifically directed to the induction of innate or adaptive antitumor immunity initiated by the administration of targeted IL-12 molecules preferably in conjunction with IL-2 and/or IL-7 to a cancer patient, who suffers from cancer of the muscle, bone, nerves, cartilage, tendons, blood vessels, etc., preferably from sarcoma. The invention is specifically related to the use of IL-12 in form of the specific immunoglobulin cytokine fusion protein called NHS-IL12, preferably in combination with a form of IL-2 and/or IL-7 exhibiting prolonged pharmacokinetics for the treatment of said cancer diseases.
