  • Patent number: 11718681
    Abstract: The invention relates to antibodies against SIRP? that are suitable for use in anti-cancer therapy. The invention also relates to the use of the anti-SIRP? antibodies in the treatment of human solid tumours and haematological malignancies, optionally in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.

  • Patent number: 11274159
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies against SIRP? that are suitable for use in anti-cancer therapy. The invention further relates to the use of the anti-SIRP? antibodies in the treatment of human solid tumours and haematological malignancies, optionally in combination with other anti-cancer therapeutics. The anti-SIRPalpha antibodies described are more specific than known anti-SIRPalpha antibodies, whereas they show excellent affinity for both SIRPalpha1 and SIRPalphaBIT. In one embodiment the anti-SIRPalpha antibodies do not bind to SIRPgamma. In a second embodiment, the anti-SIRPalpha antibodies do not bind to SIRPgamma and do not bind to SIRPbeta1v1. In a third embodiment, the anti-SIRPalpha antibodies do not bind to SIRPgamma and do not bind to SIRPeta1v2. In a fourth embodiment, the anti-SIRPalpha antibodies do not bind to SIRPbeta1v1.

  • Publication number: 20210206852
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of molecular medicine. In particular, it relates to compositions and methods to enhance the clearance of aberrant cells, e.g. cancer cells or virus-infected cells, by the host's immune system. Provided is a composition comprising (i) a therapeutic compound that can trigger a host's immune effector cells against an aberrant cell, such as a therapeutic antibody, and (ii) at least one agent capable of reducing or preventing inhibitory signal transduction initiated via SIRPalpha.
