Engineering SARS-CoV-2 specific cocktail antibodies into a bispecific format improves neutralizing potency and breadth

Nature Communications, 2022
Bispecific antibodies can have advantages compared to antibody cocktails. Here, the authors engineer and characterize two different approaches for generating bispecific SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies and find that only one design increases antigen ...

Function and mechanism of bispecific antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2

Cell Insight
As the dynamic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 led to reduced efficacy in monoclonal neutralizing antibodies and emergence of immune escape, the role of bispecific antibodies becomes crucial in bolstering antiviral activity and suppressing immune evasion.

Effective cancer immunotherapy combining mRNA-encoded bispecific antibodies that induce polyclonal T cell engagement and PD-L1-dependent 4-1BB costimulation

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer therapy, but many patients fail to respond or develop resistance, often due to reduced T cell activity.

Format chain exchange (FORCE) for high-throughput generation of bispecific antibodies in combinatorial binder-format matrices

Nature Communications, 2020
Bispecific antibodies have been generated in many different formats and it is becoming clear that rational design alone cannot create optimal functionalities.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Nanomaterial Strategies for Pulmonary Delivery of Immunotherapeutics in Lung Cancer Treatment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Inhalable immunotherapeutic nanomedicines enable organ‐selective immune modulation by overcoming pulmonary delivery barriers and concentrating therapy within lung tumors. This Review defines how nanomaterial properties govern airway deposition, retention, cellular partitioning, and immune activation across vaccines, checkpoint blockade, STING agonists,

Inhibition of VEGF‐Induced Angiogenesis and Vascular Leakage by Bicistronic Co‐Expression of Aflibercept and COMP‐Ang1

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A bicistronic rAAV8 vector encoding Aflibercept (Afb) and COMP‐cAng1 simultaneously coordinates VEGF clearance and Tie2‐mediated vessel maturation. In a 3D angiogenesis‐on‐a‐chip model, rAAV8‐Afb/cAng1 effectively reverses pathological barrier breakdown under clinical disease‐mimicking challenges.

Characterization of Full‐Length Antibody Complexes Through HDX‐Mass Spectrometry Coupled With NMR Spectroscopy: New Insight Into Avelumab/PD‐L1 Interaction

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Combining HDX‐MS and NMR enables the mapping of epitopes and paratopes in full‐length antibody complexes, revealing transient interactions and potential artifacts. ABSTRACT Recombinant biomacromolecules have significantly transformed pharmaceuticals, in particular monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target key areas in oncology, immunology, inflammation,

Membrane‐Bound Multimodal Plasmonic Transducers for Noninvasive, In Situ Monitoring and Control of CAR T Cells Against Heterogeneous Solid Tumors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Membrane‐bound multimodal transducers enable longitudinal ultrasound‐guided photoacoustic monitoring and in situ thermal control of CAR T cells in heterogeneous solid tumors. Imaging correlates T cell trafficking with tumor response, distinguishing responders from nonresponders.
