  • Patent number: 10752688
    Abstract: An anti-human T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) antibody, can bind the peptides, comprising the amino-acid sequence RKGDVSL (SEQ ID NO: 9) and/or EKFNLKL (SEQ ID NO: 10) of human TIM-3 protein. The antibody can regulate immune cell activity. The antibody or binding fragment thereof is useful in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancers that have been reported to express cell-surface TIM-3 such as lung, liver, esophageal cancer and solid tumors.

  • Patent number: 9527922
    Abstract: A humanized antibody, or a binding fragment thereof, wherein the humanized antibody binds human ENO1 (GenBank: AAH50642.1), wherein the antibody comprises a light chain variable region (VL) domain comprising a CDR1 having the amino acid sequence LCDR1 (RASENIYSYLT; SEQ ID NO: 6) and a CDR2 having the amino acid sequence LCDR2 (NAKTLPE; SEQ ID NO: 7) and a CDR3 having the amino acid sequence LCDR3 (QHHYGTPYT; SEQ ID NO: 8) and an antibody heavy chain variable region (VH) domain comprising a CDR1 having the amino acid sequence HCDR1 (GYTFTSCVMN; SEQ ID NO: 3), a CDR2 having the amino acid sequence HCDR2 (YINPYNDGTKYNEKFKG; SEQ ID NO: 4) and a CDR3 having the amino acid sequence HCDR3 (EGFYYGNFDN; SEQ ID NO: 5), wherein framework regions in the light chain variable region (VL) domain and the heavy chain variable region (VH) domain comprise amino acid sequences from a human immunoglobulin.

  • Patent number: 9447193
    Abstract: A method for treating cancer includes administering to a subject in need thereof an antibody against a transmembrane and coiled-coil domains protein 3 (TMCC3), wherein the antibody binds to an epitope in an extracellular domain of TMCC3. The antibody binds to an epitope in an intercoil domain of TMCC3. A method of diagnosing or assessing a cancer condition includes assessing a level of expression or activity of a transmembrane and coiled-coil domains protein 3 (TMCC3) in a sample, wherein an increase in the level of expression of activity of TMCC3 as compared to a standard indicates the presence of cancer stem cells in the sample.

  • Patent number: 9428575
    Abstract: An anti-granulysin antibody, or an scFv or Fab fragment thereof, capable of binding to an epitope region from R64 to R113 of granulysin and capable of neutralizing an activity of granulysin. The antibody may contain a sequence selected from the sequences of SEQ ID NO:82 to SEQ ID NO:195, or the antibody may contain a sequence selected from the sequences of SEQ ID NO:39 to SEQ ID NO:76. The antibody may be a monoclonal antibody. A method for treating or preventing an unwanted immune response disorder includes administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of an anti-granulysin antibody capable of neutralizing the activity of granulysin. The unwanted immune response disorder may be SJS, TEN, or GVHD.
