  • Publication number: 20240072217
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a lighting component which may comprise a light emitting diode (LED) or laser diode (LD) for generating at least one of blue light or ultraviolet light. A fluoride phosphor matrix may be included, which may be consolidated into a phosphor ceramic structure including at least one of a transparent fluoride ceramic structure or a translucent fluoride ceramic structure, and positioned adjacent to the LED or LD. The phosphor ceramic structure generates at least one of red or orange light when irradiated by the light emitted from the LED or LD. The phosphor ceramic structure exhibits reduced thermal quenching relative to a fluoride particulate structure irradiated by the LED or LD.

  • Publication number: 20230381310
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating a patient having target cells that express Fc?RIIb, the method comprising administering (i) an antibody molecule that specifically binds a surface antigen of the target cell, which antibody molecule has an Fc domain capable of binding Fc?RIIb; in combination with (ii) an agent that prevents or reduces binding between the Fc domain of the antibody molecule and Fc?RIIb; characterized in that the patient is selected on the basis that their target cells express an elevated level of Fc?RIIb.

  • Publication number: 20230058227
    Abstract: Described is the sequential administration of first a Treg depleting antibody mole-cute selected from antibody molecules, such as an antibody molecule binding specifically to target belonging to the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF), such as a Treg depleting anti-4-1 BB antibody or a Treg depleting OX-40 antibody, and then an immunostimulatory antibody molecule, such as an immunostimulatory anti-4-1 BB anti-body or an immunostimulatory OX-40 antibody, for use in the treatment of cancer. De-scribed are also novel anti-4-1 BB antibodies and novel OX-40 antibodies that may be used in such sequential administration.

  • Publication number: 20220259309
    Abstract: Described is the combined use of a first antibody molecule that specifically binds FcyRIIb via its Fab region and that binds an Fey receptor via its Fc region, and a second antibody molecule that specifically binds PD-1 and that binds at least one Fey receptor via its Fc region, in the treatment of cancer in a patient having tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes with a medium or high PD-1 expression, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising these two antibody molecules, and methods of treating cancer using these two antibodies. Described is also a diagnostic test for identification of patients benefitting from the treatment described herein.

  • Publication number: 20200362036
    Abstract: Described is the use of a first antibody molecule that specifically binds Fc?RIIb via its Fab region, but lacks Fc region or has reduced binding to Fc? receptors via its Fc region, for use in combination with a second antibody molecule that specifically binds to a receptor present on an immune cell, wherein the immune cell is an immune cell that suppresses anti-cancer immunity, which second antibody molecule has an Fc region that binds to at least one activating Fc? receptor, and wherein the binding of the second antibody molecule to the receptor on the immune cell causes depletion and/or deactivation of the immune cell in the treatment of an Fc?RIIb-negative cancer in a patient, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising these to antibody molecules, and methods of treating cancer using these two antibodies.
