  • Publication number: 20240084028
    Abstract: Provided herein are tetravalent antibodies that specifically bind to human PSGL-1. Unlike bivalent antibodies, these tetravalent antibodies contain a dimer of two monomers, with each monomer comprising two light chain variable (VL) domains and two heavy chain variable (VH) domains. This format allows for cross-linker/FcR-expressing cell-independent tetravalent antibodies against PSGL-1 that show enhanced efficacy as compared to bivalent PSGL-1 antibodies. These tetravalent antibodies can be used in a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic methods, including without limitation treating T-cell mediated inflammatory diseases, transplantations, and transfusions.

  • Publication number: 20210113710
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds with a hydrophilic self-immolative linker, which is cleavable under appropriate conditions and incorporates a hydrophilic group to provide better solubility of the compound. The compounds of the present disclosure comprise a drug moiety, a targeting moiety capable of targeting a selected cell population, and a linker which contains an acyl unit, an optional spacer unit for providing distance between the drug moiety and the targeting moiety, a peptide linker which can be cleavable under appropriate conditions, a hydrophilic self-immolative linker, and an optional second self-immolative spacer or cyclization self-elimination linker.

  • Publication number: 20180238895
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel antibodies specifically bind to an epitope on CD43 and CEA expressed on nonhematopoietic cancer cells, but do not specifically bind to a CD43 expressed by a leukocyte or by a Jurkat cell, and is capable of inducing apoptosis of the nonhematopoietic cancer cell after binding to the epitope on cell surface of the nonhematopoietic cancer cell in the absence of cytotoxin conjugation and immune effector function, wherein the epitope comprises a carbohydrate structure and the binding of the antibody to the epitope is inhibited by a carbohydrate comprising a Lea structure, a Lea-lactose structure, a LNDFH II structure, or a LNT structure. In addition, the present invention also provides use of the antibodies described herein for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
