  • Publication number: 20180044429
    Abstract: The invention provides CD27 agonists comprising a first component that is an anti-CD27 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, linked to a second component comprising one or more cross-linking moieties. At least one of the cross-linking moieties does not bind to an Fc receptor and the CD27 agonist stimulates T cell activity without the need for Fc receptor interaction. The cross-linking molecule(s) can be, for example, an anti-CD27, antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that can be the same or different than the first component. Alternatively, the cross-linking molecule(s) can be a CD27 ligand or a molecule (e.g., antibody) that binds a molecule on a cell such as a T cell, a tumor cell or a stromal cell. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the CD27 agonists, and methods of using the CD27 agonists, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8404820
    Abstract: Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to Anthrax protective antigen are disclosed. The human antibodies can be produced in a non-human transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, capable of producing multiple isotypes of human monoclonal antibodies by undergoing V-D-J recombination and isotype switching. Also disclosed are derivatives of the human antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies and immunoconjugates), pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human antibodies, non-human transgenic animals and hybridomas which produce the human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the human antibodies.

  • Patent number: 8318165
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated antibodies (e.g., humanized or human antibodies) that bind to the membrane-proximal domain (MP) of human Melanoma-Associated Chondroitin Sulphate Proteoglycan (MCSP), and are capable of mediating cytolysis of a cell expressing MCSP in the presence of human effector cells or complement. Methods of using such antibodies to induce cytolysis (e.g., ADCC or CDCC) of cells expressing MP-MCSP are also provided.
