  • Patent number: 11957751
    Abstract: Specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-?1) are provided, particularly recognizing human and mouse TGF-?1 and not recognizing or binding TGF-?2 or TGF-?3. Particular antibodies are provided which specifically recognize and neutralize TGF-?1. These antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with activated or elevated TGF-?1, including cancer, and for modulating immune cells and immune response, including immune response to cancer or cancer antigens. The anti-TGF-?1 antibodies, variable regions or CDR domain sequences thereof, and fragments thereof may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics, immune modulators, or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof. Antibodies of this type are exemplified by the novel antibodies hereof, including antibody 13A1, whose sequences are provided herein.

  • Patent number: 7923534
    Abstract: The invention relates to an isolated DNA sequence which codes for an antigen expressed by tumor cells which is recognized by cytotoxic T cells, leading to lysis of the tumor which expresses it. Also described are cells transfected by the DNA sequence, and various therapeutic and diagnostic uses arising out of the properties of the DNA and the antigen for which it codes.
