  • Publication number: 20240034794
    Abstract: The invention provides means and methods for inhibiting a biological activity of cells. In one embodiment the invention is concerned with a method of inhibiting a biological activity in a first or second cell mediated by the binding of two membrane proteins that are binding partners for each other. The mentioned biological activity is inhibited by providing the cells with an antibody or antibody like molecule that can bind to each of the mentioned binding partners and the binding blocks the binding of the two binding partners thereby inhibiting the mentioned biological activity.

  • Publication number: 20230406932
    Abstract: The invention provides means and methods for interfering with Programmed Cell Death 1 protein (PD-1) and Lymphocyte activation 3 (LAG 3) mediated inhibition in a PD-1 and/or LAG3 positive cell. A method may comprise contacting said cell with an antibody or a functional part, derivative and/or analogue thereof that comprises a variable domain that can bind to an extracellular part of PD-1 and a variable domain that can bind to an extracellular part of LAG3, thereby inhibiting PD-1 and/or LAG3 mediated activity in said cell. The invention also provides antibodies or variants thereof that comprises a variable domain that can bind to an extracellular part of PD-1 and a variable domain that can bind to an extracellular part of LAG3.
