The single domain antibody has a dissociation constant (KD) of 1×10?7 or lower for a monomeric form of human CA-IX and/or a dimeric form of human CA-IX.

Abstract: Herein are provided anti-CD22 single domain antibodies (sdAb) prepared by immunizing a llama with the extracellular domain of the predominant human CD22 isoform. By constructing a library of the heavy chain repertoire generated, VHH antibodies specific to the immunogen were isolated. The 27 example antibodies initially produced comprise CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences corresponding, respectively to SEQNOs: 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-15, 16- 18, 19-21, 22-24, 25-27, 28-30, 31-33, 34-36, 37-39, 40-42, 43-45, 46-48, 49-51, 52-54, 55- 57, 58-60, 61-63, 64-66, 67-69, 70-72, 73-75, 75-78, and 79-81; and related sequences. Also provided are multivalent antibodies comprising any one of the sdAbs, including bispecific T-cell engagers, bispecific killer cell engagers (BiKEs), and trispecific killer cell engagers (TriKEs). Also described are chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) for CAR-T therapy comprising any one of the aforementioned sdAbs. Uses of these molecules in the treatment of cancer are also described.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antigen-binding agents that specifically bind to epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII). Antigen-binding agents of the present disclosure include antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and bi-specific T-cell engagers (BITE!), bispecific killer cell engagers (BiKEs) and bispecific killer cell engagers (TriKEs).

Abstract: A hollow fiberglass utility pole includes a pair of segments that are a fiberglass sheet that has a semicircular cross-section. The segments have first and second longitudinal edges with male and female couplers respective shapes that have a complimentary relationship to each other for mechanical engagement thereof. The fiberglass pole is assembled by engaging the first longitudinal edge of one segment with the second longitudinal edge of the other segment at an installation site. The fiberglass pole may be used as a sheath to encase an existing wooden pole.
