  • Patent number: 11932673
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230151092
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190256840
    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.

  • Patent number: 8524240
    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).
