Proposed is the use of fully human monoclonal antibodies—RYB1, RYB2 and RYB3—and of a composition based thereon for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis C. Said antibodies are produced by cultivation using hybrid BIONA-RYB1, BIONA-RYB2 and BIONA-RYB3. The effectiveness of the antibodies is due to said antibodies binding epitopes, namely Ep1, Ep2 and Ep3 of E2 protein of the hepatitis C viral envelope, respectively. The present invention has demonstrated a neutralizing activity of the antibodies in a model system of infection of human cells in a culture. It has been shown that use of the claimed group of inventions provides for more reliable antibody binding of the hepatitis C virus.

  • Patent number: 10633432
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a VC-CAR molecule and a use thereof in removing HIV-1 infected cells. The VC-CAR molecule is characterized by linking an HIV-1 broad-spectrum neutralizing antibody VRC01 sourced scFv sequence and an intracellular domain sequence of a conventional CAR molecule which are respectively used as extracellular and intracellular domains. A T cell modified by the VC-CAR molecule can be specifically activated and secrete a great number of cytotoxicity-related cytokines, so that lysis of a target cell can be powerfully mediated, and it can be better used for anti-infection adoptive immunotherapy.

  • Patent number: 10633434
    Abstract: The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies that bind to the complement factor 5 (C5) protein, and methods of use thereof. In various embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to C5 protein. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing C5 activity, thus providing a means of treating or preventing a C5-related disease or disorder in humans. In some embodiments, the invention provides for an anti-C5 antibody that has improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, e.g., a half-life of more than 10 days.
