Abstract: The present invention provides humanized monoclonal antibodies, bi-specific antibodies, antibody conjugates, and fusion proteins that bind to the chemokine receptor CCR4. This antibody is derived from CCR4-IgG1 and recognizes the same epitope. This antibody contains either an IgG4 or a stabilized IgG4 in order to improve binding efficiency and reduce in vivo Fab arm exchange. Binding of the antibodies disclosed herein to CCR4 inhibits ligand-mediated activities and is used to treat symptoms of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV2 and methods of use thereof. The antibodies described herein can be used to treat SARS-CoV2 infections and symptoms thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to human monoclonal antibodies that bind to the cell-surface receptor, PDL-1 (programmed death ligand 1). The antibodies can be used to treat cancer and chronic viral infections.

Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies that neutralize MERS-CoV and methods of use thereof. The invented antibody is used to treat MERS-CoV infections and symptoms thereof.

Abstract: MUC1 is overexpressed in many cancers, including those of the lung, colon, breast, ovary, and pancreas. Aspects of the invention are directed towards the discovery of monoclonal antibodies and fragments thereof, such as a human single chain variable fragment (scFv), that recognizes human MUC1-SEA.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to human monoclonal antibodies that bind to the cell-surface receptor, PD-1 (programmed death 1). The antibodies can be used to treat cancer and chronic viral infections.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for augmenting antibody mediate receptor signaling.

Abstract: The present invention provides structural determinants important for binding to the stem domain of the HA protein of influenza virus, and methods of use thereof for production of high affinity neutralizing influenza virus antibodies based upon these determinants. The present invention further provides tools for determining the efficacy of an influenza virus vaccine. The present invention further provides a molecular signature useful for determining the efficacy of an influenza virus vaccine in a subject, or for predicting prior immunologic exposure or antigen responsiveness to vaccine or influenza virus infection.

Abstract: The present invention comprises human monoclonal antibodies that bind to GITR (also known as glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor). Binding of the invented antibody to GITR inhibits binding of its ligand, GITR-L, and can be used to treat cancer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for mining genotype-repertoire-disease associations. Aspects of the disclosure are also drawn to methods of preparing a vaccine composition. For example, the vaccine composition can be specific to a subject or a group of subjects with a genotype responsive to the vaccine composition. Aspects of the disclosure are further drawn towards methods of vaccinating a subject or a population of subjects.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of modulating regulatory T-cell activity and function.
