  • Patent number: 10774152
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multispecific molecule comprising a binding domain specific to the antigen CD45 and a binding domain specific to the antigen CD79a and/or CD79b, compositions comprising same and use of each in treatment, for example treatment of autoimmune disease.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 2015
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2020
    Assignee: UCB BIOPHARMA SPRL
    Inventors: Helene Margaret Finney, Stephen Edward Rapecki, Michael John Wright, Kerry Louise Tyson
  • Patent number: 10775385
    Abstract: A new, stable trimeric TNF? structure is disclosed with distorted symmetry which can bind to the TNFR1 receptor to attenuate signalling therefrom, which can be used in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases associated with the soluble TNF?/TNFR1 interaction. Membrane-bound TNF? is not affected in its ability to signal through TNFR2, and thus the new structure of TNF? may be used in therapies which do not significantly raise the risk of infection or malignancy.

  • Patent number: 10705094
    Abstract: It has been demonstrated that certain compounds bind to TNF and stabilise a conformation of trimeric TNF that binds to the TNF receptor. Accordingly, these compounds can be used as modulators of TNF. A new assay for identifying compounds with this mechanism of action is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20190322739
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel bispecific protein complex and a method of using the complexes to screen for synergistic or novel biological function. The bispecific format is particularly suitable for high-throughput screening because all of its components can be expressed from cells as individual units and the units can be assembled simply by mixing without employing conjugation or coupling chemistry.

  • Publication number: 20180346604
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of identifying, separating and characterizing a cell or a population of cells, by capturing at the cell surface, secreted soluble substances (such as an immunoglobulin) that cell or population of cell secrete. This is achieved by combing on a heterodimerically-tethered multispecific protein complex combining a binding specificity for the secreted molecule and a binding specificity for a surface antigen specific for that cell or population of cells. This method may be used in research and experimental purposes, such as patients' stratification in preparation of clinical trials or personalized therapies by identifying cell populations relevant to a pathology and/or prognosis.
