Publication number: 20240129259Abstract: A durability assessment system may receive a request, from a computing system, for a durability index describing an entity. The durability assessment system may determine the durability index based on information about the resource usage by the entity, such as a resource availability score or a resource allocation score. The durability assessment system may compare the obtained resource availability score and resource allocation score to ranges associated with a set of durability indices. Based on the comparison, the durability assessment system may determine a durability index for the entity. The durability index may indicate an ability of the entity to return accessed resources. In some cases, the durability assessment system may provide the durability index to an allocation computing system that is configured to determine whether to grant access to resources based on the durability index.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Todd Duncan HOOVER, Brandi Nicole RECKER, William Charles GATES, Sean Patrick MCKEOWN, Matthew Richard JACKSON, Dinesh Hiro WADHWANI

Patent number: 11918649Abstract: Provided herein are PD-L1 binding molecules comprising or conjugated to a toxin, e.g. a Shiga toxin A Subunit derived polypeptide. In some embodiments, the PD-L1 binding molecules are cytotoxic. In some embodiments, the PD-L1 binding molecules are capable of delivering a CD8+ T-cell epitope to an MHC class molecule inside a PD-L1 positive cell. The PD-L1 binding molecules described herein have uses for selectively killing specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells and/or immune cells); for selectively delivering cargos to specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells or immune cells), and as therapeutic and/or diagnostic molecules for treating and diagnosing a variety of conditions, including cancers and tumors involving PD-L1 expressing cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells or immune cells).Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Molecular Templates, Inc.Inventors: Eric Poma, Hilario Ramos, Erin Willert, Richard Shimkets, Crystal Jackson, Thomas Vincent
