Discovery of a new class of integrin antibodies for fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Abstract Lung fibrosis, or the scarring of the lung, is a devastating disease with huge unmet medical need. There are limited treatment options and its prognosis is worse than most types of cancer. We previously discovered that MK-0429 is an equipotent pan-inhibitor of αv integrins that reduces proteinuria and kidney fibrosis in a ...

Chemically Defined, High-Density Insect Cell-Based Expression System for Scalable AAV Vector Production

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2020
The recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector is one of the most utilized viral vectors in gene therapy due to its robust, long-term in vivo transgene expression and low toxicity.

Discovery of an antibody for pan-ebolavirus therapy [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
AbstractDuring the latest outbreak of Ebola virus disease in West Africa, monoclonal antibody therapy (e.g., ZMapp) was utilized to treat patients. However, due to the antigenic differences among the five ebolavirus species, the current therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are only effective against viruses of the species Zaire ebolavirus.

Structural and functional characterization of a DARPin which inhibits Ras nucleotide exchange

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Ras is mutated in many cancers, but so far no drug targeting Ras is in clinical use despite great efforts. Here the authors structurally and functionally characterize a DARPin that potently inhibits the nucleotide exchange of Ras, which might facilitate ...

Characterization of the high-affinity anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody JS007 for immune checkpoint therapy of cancer

open access: yesmAbs, 2023
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a critical inhibitory checkpoint molecule, and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting CTLA-4 that restore anti-tumor T cell immunity have achieved clinical success.

Function-first antibody discovery [PDF]

open access: yesOncoImmunology, 2013
Therapeutic antibodies may mediate antineoplastic effects by altering the biological functions of their target, by directly stimulating the demise of cancer cells or by activating antibody-dependent immune effector mechanisms. We have recently provided in vivo proof-of-concept for a "function-first" target and drug discovery platform in which ...

Data mining patented antibody sequences

open access: yesmAbs, 2021
The patent literature should reflect the past 30 years of engineering efforts directed toward developing monoclonal antibody therapeutics. Such information is potentially valuable for rational antibody design. Patents, however, are designed not to convey

Pyrrolobenzodiazepine Antibody-Drug Conjugates Designed for Stable Thiol Conjugation

open access: yesAntibodies, 2017
Thiosuccinimide-linked antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are susceptible to drug loss over time due to a retro-Michael reaction, which can be prevented by selecting stable conjugation positions or hydrolysis of the thiosuccinimide.

From discovery to the clinic: structural insights, engineering options, clinical, and ‘next wave’ applications of camelid-derived single-domain antibodies

open access: yesmAbs
Camelid-derived single domain antibodies (sdAbs), referred to as VHHs (variable domains of the heavy chain of a heavy chain-only antibodies), recently emerged as promising building blocks for the construction of therapeutic molecules. As of October 2025,
