  • Publication number: 20200239585
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for modulating the immune response in a subject, such as decreasing the activity of CD30+ T regulatory cells and increasing the ratio of CD8+ T cells to CD30+ T regulatory cells, through administration of antibody drug-conjugates that bind to CD30. The invention also provides articles of manufacture or kits comprising said antibody drug-conjugates that bind to CD30 for modulating the immune response.

  • Publication number: 20200062859
    Abstract: Isolated antibodies that bind to human TIGIT (T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) are provided. In some embodiments, the antibody has a binding affinity (KD) for human TIGIT of less than 5 nM. In some embodiments, the anti-TIGIT antibody blocks binding of CD155 and/or CD112 to TIGIT. In some embodiments, the antibodies are afucosylated.

  • Publication number: 20140186294
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of screening for agents useful in treating or prophylaxis of synucleinopathic disease, methods of diagnosis or prognosis of the same and methods of treatment and prophylaxis. The invention is based in part on the result that cells with phagocytic activity from subjects with synucleinopathic disease have increased levels of alpha synuclein and reduced phagocytic activity and that these processes can be reversed (i.e., synuclein levels decreased and phagocytic levels increased) by treatment with IL-4 among other agents. The increase in phagocytic activity is readily amenable to detection and provides a basis for a screening assay in which an agent is contacted with phagocytic cells and the effect of the agent on phagocytic activity is detected, which is an indicator that the agent has the ability to reduce alpha synuclein levels.
