  • NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES ENCODING TRIF AND ADDITIONAL POLYPEPTIDES AND THEIR USE IN TREATING CANCER
    Publication number: 20240174732
    Abstract: In certain aspects, the disclosure relates to a nucleic acid molecule encoding one or more different thanotransmission polypeptides. Vectors (e.g., engineered viruses, plasmids and transposons), cells and pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding one or more thanotransmission polypeptides are also disclosed. Methods of promoting thanotransmission by a target cell, methods of promoting an immune response in a subject, and methods of treating cancer in a subject are further disclosed.

  • ANTIBODY SPECIFICALLY BINDING TO LGALS3BP, AND USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20230265174
    Abstract: An antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof specifically binding to galectin 3-binding protein (LGALS3BP), and a use thereof, is described. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may comprise heavy chain CDRs and light chain CDRs of specific sequences. The antibody specifically binding to LGALS3BP has been found to inhibit cancer growth and metastasis in an animal model with cancer and may be effective for alleviating or treating cancer.
