Abstract: This invention relates to libraries of binding members that each comprise a fusion protein which contains a donor diversity scaffold domain, such as a cysteine rich protein, inserted within a recipient diversity scaffold domain, such as an antibody constant or variable domain. Libraries and methods of generating libraries are provided, along with screening methods, binding members and methods of using the binding members.

Abstract: Engineered cells that serve as vehicles to deliver genetically-encoded cargo molecules, such as therapeutic molecules, to other cells in vivo are provided. In particular, fusogenic biovesicles with reduced immunogenicity potential, expressing poorly immunogenic (fully human or humanised or deimmunised) fusogens enclosing the cargo molecules are produced by the engineered cells. The engineered cells can be used in methods of treating diseases and conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and cancer.

Abstract: Populations of CAR T cells that exhibit reduced trogocytosis are disclosed, as well as methods for making such cells and methods of using such cells in the treatment of cancer. A reduction in trogocytosis is achieved by inhibiting Cathepsin B in the CAR T cells and/or inducing ubiquitylation of cancer antigens taken up by the CAR T cells.

Abstract: Disclosed are chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) polypeptides comprising a CD229 antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain. Disclosed are nucleic acid sequences capable of encoding a CAR polypeptide comprising a CD229 antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain. Also disclosed are vectors and cells comprising one or both of the CAR polypeptides and nucleic acid sequences capable of encoding CAR polypeptides. Also disclosed are methods of treating.

Abstract: Disclosed are CAR polypeptides comprising a target specific receptor and a death domain. Disclosed are CAR polypeptides comprising a LINGO1 antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain. Disclosed are CAR cells comprising one or more of the disclosed CAR polypeptides. Disclosed are cells comprising an altered ?4?1 integrin. Disclosed are methods of treating comprising administering one or more of the disclosed cells to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: Binding members for sodium channel Nav1.7 and their use in medicine including for treatment of pain or epilepsy. Binding members comprise a fusion protein containing a Nav1.7-binding peptide, e.g., venom toxin peptide or knottin (“donor diversity scaffold domain”) inserted within an antibody variable domain (“recipient diversity scaffold domain”), and a partner domain (e.g., antibody variable domain), optionally wherein the partner domain enhances specificity of binding to Nav1.7 over other sodium channels.

Abstract: Abstract: Binding members for potassium channel Kv1.3 and their use in medicine, including for treatment of autoimmune conditions, metabolic disorders and obesity. Binding members comprise a fusion protein containing a Kv1.3-binding peptide, e.g., HsTx, ShK or KTX (“donor diversity scaffold domain”) inserted within an antibody variable domain (“recipient diversity scaffold domain”), paired with a partner domain (e.g., antibody variable domain).

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of diagnosis and therapy of hematological malignancies based on the tumor antigen FMR1NB (also called NY-SAR-35, Cancer/testis antigen 37 or Fragile X mental retardation 1 neighbor protein) and agents specifically targeting this antigen or cells expressing the same, e.g., antibodies. The inventors were able to prove that the molecule is expressed on the cell surface and thus represents a particularly advantageous target in cancer therapy and vaccination. Surprisingly, FMR1NB was found to be associated with hematological malignancies, e.g. acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
