Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a critical role during normal embryonic angiogenesis and also in the pathological that occurs number of diseases, including cancer. Initial attempts to block VEGF by using humanized monoclonal antibody are beginning show promise human cancer patients, underscoring importance optimizing blockade. Previous studies have found one most effective ways VEGF-signaling pathway is prevent from binding its receptors administering decoy-soluble receptors....

Neutralizing antibodies have become an important tool in treating infectious diseases. Recently, two separate approaches yielded successful antibody treatments for Ebola-one from genetically humanized mice and the other a human survivor. Here, we describe parallel efforts using both convalescent patients to generate against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein, which large collection of fully that were characterized binding, neutralization,...

The angiopoietins have recently joined the members of vascular endothelial growth factor family as only known factors largely specific for endothelium. include a naturally occurring agonist, angiopoietin-1, well antagonist, angiopoietin-2, both which act by means Tie2 receptor. We now report our attempts to use homology-based cloning approaches identify new angiopoietin family. These efforts led identification two angiopoietins, angiopoietin-3 in mouse and angiopoietin-4 human; we also...

Mice genetically engineered to be humanized for their Ig genes allow human antibody responses within a mouse background (HumAb mice), providing valuable platform the generation of fully therapeutic antibodies. Unfortunately, existing HumAb mice do not have functional immune systems, perhaps because manner in which genetic humanization was carried out. Heretofore, been generated by disrupting endogenous and simultaneously introducing transgenes at different random location; KO-plus-transgenic...

Traditional approaches to antimicrobial drug development are poorly suited combatting the emergence of novel pathogens. Additionally, lack small animal models for these infections hinders in vivo testing potential therapeutics. Here we demonstrate use VelocImmune technology (a mouse that expresses human antibody-variable heavy chains and κ light chains) alongside VelociGene (which allows rapid engineering genome) quickly develop evaluate antibodies against an emerging viral disease....

Acute allergic symptoms are caused by allergen-induced crosslinking of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) bound to Fc-epsilon receptors on effector cells. Desensitization with immunotherapy (SIT) has been used for over a century, but the dominant protective mechanism remains unclear. One consistent observation is increased IgG, thought competitively block allergen binding IgE. Here we show that blocking potency IgG response Cat-SIT heterogeneous. Next, using two potent, pre-selected...

For most classes of drugs, rapid development therapeutics to treat emerging infections is challenged by the timelines needed identify compounds with desired efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic profiles. Fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) provide an attractive method overcome many these hurdles rapidly produce for diseases. In this study, we deployed a platform generate, test, develop fully Zaire ebolavirus. We obtained specific anti-Ebola virus (EBOV) immunizing VelocImmune mice that...

The Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptor delivers inhibitory checkpoint signals to activated T cells upon binding its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 expressed on antigen-presenting cancer cells, resulting in suppression of T-cell effector function tumor immune evasion. Clinical antibodies blocking the interaction between PD-1 restore cytotoxic antigen-specific yielding durable objective responses multiple cancers.

Abstract T-cell-redirecting bispecific antibodies have emerged as a new class of therapeutic agents designed to simultaneously bind T cells via CD3 and tumor tumor-cell-specific antigens (TSA), inducing T-cell-mediated killing cells. The promising preclinical clinical efficacy TSAxCD3 is often accompanied by toxicities such cytokine release syndrome due T-cell activation. How the toxicity profile depends on binding affinity remains unclear. Here, we evaluate that were engineered range...

EGFR blocking antibodies are approved for the treatment of colorectal cancer and head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Although ERBB3 signaling has been proposed to limit effectiveness inhibitors, underlying molecular mechanisms not fully understood. To gain insight into these mechanisms, we generated potent against (REGN1400) (REGN955). We show that coactivated in multiple HNSCC lines combined blockade inhibits growth more effectively than either receptor alone. Blockade with REGN955...

The common γ chain (γc; IL-2RG) is a subunit of the interleukin (IL) receptors for γc cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21. lack appropriate neutralizing antibodies recognizing IL-2RG has made it difficult to thoroughly interrogate role in inflammatory autoimmune disease settings. Here, we generated cytokine receptor antibody, REGN7257, determine whether might be targeted T cell–mediated prevention treatment. Biochemical, structural, vitro analysis showed that REGN7257 binds...
