  • Patent number: 11530247
    Abstract: This invention provides for a fusion protein between a single chain TNFR2 Selective Agonist protein (scTNFR2 Selective Agonist) and a dimerization domain, such as an IgGFc protein. The single chain TNFR2 Selective Agonist moiety provides a therapeutic activity by selectively activating the TNFR2 form of the TNF-? receptor, thus selectively stimulating Tregs and/or increasing myelin deposition.

  • Publication number: 20210395388
    Abstract: Described herein are high affinity antigen binding constructs, e.g., antibodies, directed to the ECD2 domain of HER2. The antigen-binding constructs comprise at least one antigen-binding polypeptide construct that binds to ECD2 of HER2 (HER2 ECD2) with increased affinity compared to a wild-type 2C4 antibody. Such antigen-binding polypeptide constructs comprise one or more amino acid modifications in the framework region and/or CDRs compared to the amino acid sequence of a wild-type 2C4 antibody that increase affinity of the antigen-binding polypeptide construct for ECD2 by 2-fold or greater. The antigen-binding constructs can inhibit the growth of HER2-expressing breast cancer cells and gastric cancer cells. Antigen-binding constructs in biparatopic format are internalized in HER2-expressing cells.

  • Publication number: 20210371842
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antidotes to anticoagulants targeting factor Xa. The antidotes are factor Xa protein derivatives that bind to the factor Xa inhibitors thereby substantially neutralizing them but do not assemble into the prothrombinase complex. In one embodiment, the derivatives described herein lack or have reduced intrinsic coagulant activity.

  • Publication number: 20210355239
    Abstract: Provided herein are multispecific antigen-binding polypeptide constructs comprising at least two different heterodimers, each comprising a heavy chain and a light chain. At least one heterodimer comprises a Fab region comprising a lambda light chain and at least one heterodimer comprises a Fab region comprising a kappa light chain. One or more of the immunoglobulin heavy and light chains that form the antigen-binding polypeptide construct comprise amino acid modifications that promote correct pairing between the heavy and light chains to form the desired multispecific antigen-binding polypeptide construct. The amino acid modifications may be in the CH1 and/or CL domains, in the VH and/or VL domains, or a combination thereof.
