Abstract: The present invention provides novel antigen binding peptides, such as an antibody or antibody fragment, that specifically bind to selective FXIa inhibitors and/or dual inhibitors of FXIa, and plasma kallikrein. The present invention further relates to methods of reducing the antithrombotic effect of FXIa inhibitors by administering to a subject a pharmaceutically effective dose of the antigen binding peptides provided herein. In addition, the present invention provides detection reagents and methods for detecting the level of the inhibitors of FXIa in a biological sample.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for antibodies that bind CD40, including a humanized antibody. The antibodies bind CD40 and do not exhibit CD40 agonist activity. The antibodies may comprise a modified IgG1 Fc domain, and exhibit minimal activation of immature dendritic cells. Compositions comprising antibodies, methods of use for treatment of diseases involving CD40 activity, and use in the preparation of a medicament for treatment of a disease involving CD40 activity are provided.

Abstract: A prodrugged antibody has a blocking moiety attached to a Cys on its heavy or light chain via a linker having a cleavable moiety. The blocking moiety inhibits binding of the antibody to its antigen. Cleavage of the cleavable moiety releases the blocking moiety and restores ability of the antibody to bind to its antigen.

Abstract: An anti-CTLA4 antibody can be prodrugged by replacement of certain complementarity determining region (CDR) amino acids with a cysteine (Cys), which provides a chemical functionality for attachment of a blocking moiety that can be cleaved at the site of intended action, thus releasing the un-prodrugged antibody.
