  • Publication number: 20230025129
    Abstract: Antibodies to the enzyme matriptase-2 (MTP-2) are presented. Inhibiting MTP-2 reduces uptake of dietary iron and reduces the release of iron from cellular stores in the body. Inhibitors of MTP-2 (such as antibodies to the serine protease domain) can be used to treat iron overload, which is a feature of diseases such as beta-thalassaemia and which otherwise leads to toxic accumulation of iron. Combination of an MTP-2 inhibitor with an activin receptor ligand trap, or with erythropoietin, provides additional therapeutic effects.

  • Publication number: 20200267952
    Abstract: The invention relates, in one aspect, generally to novel concept of guided selection of antibody variable domains, combination and expression entirely in vivo. An application is to produce multivalent polypeptides. The present invention relates to multivalent (eg, multispecific) antibodies, antibody chains and polypeptides, as well as heavy chain-only antibodies (H2 antibodies) that are devoid of light chains. The invention further relates to the selection, maturation and production of these in vivo in non-human vertebrates and non-human vertebrate cells. To this end the invention also relates to such non-human vertebrates and cells. The invention also relates to the provision of means to produce and select heavy chain-only antibodies and heavy chains comprising variable domains that have undergone affinity maturation.
