Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080260757Bispecific Fusion Antibodies With Enhanced Serum Half-Life - Drug compositions, fusions and conjugates are provided. The drug fusions and conjugates contain a therapeutic or diagnostic agent that is fused or conjugated to an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody that binds serum albumin. The drug compositions, fusions and conjugates have a longer in vivo half-life in comparison with the unconjugated or unfused therapeutic or diagnostic agent.10-23-2008
20090286962CHIMERIC ANTIBODIES WITH PART NEW WORLD PRIMATE BINDING REGIONS - The present invention provides a chimeric antibody polypeptide comprising an antigen binding site, wherein the antigen binding site comprises a human variable domain having at least one New World Primate CDR.11-19-2009
20100034831Agents that Bind a Target in Pulmonary Tissue for Targeting Respiratory Diseases - Disclosed is the use of an agent (e.g., antibody fragment, antagonist, ligand, dAb monomer) that binds a target in pulmonary tissue for the manufacture of a long action or long therapeutic window formulation for local delivery to pulmonary tissue, and methods for administering an agent that binds a target in pulmonary tissue to a subject to produce a long therapeutic window in pulmonary tissue. The formulation is for, and the method comprises, administering locally to pulmonary tissue. Also disclosed is the use of antagonists of TNFR1 for the manufacture of a formulation or medicament for treating, preventing or suppressing lung inflammation or a respiratory disease, and methods of treating such diseases. Also disclosed are the use of agents a for the manufacture of a delivery device (e.g., inhaler, intranasal delivery device) for the treatment or prevention of lung inflammation or a respiratory disease, and a delivery device for the treatment or prevention of lung inflammation or a respiratory disease that contains an agent as described herein.02-11-2010
20110044979DOMAIN ANTIBODY CONSTRUCT - The present invention provides a domain antibody construct which binds to human TNF-α, with the construct comprising: 02-24-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080241166Ligands that bind a receptor - The invention relates to ligands, such as immunoglobulin single variable domains, that have binding specificity for a receptor. Preferably the receptor is a cell surface receptor and/or the ligand inhibits the activity of the receptor.10-02-2008
20080311111Competitive Domain Antibody Formats That Bind Interleukin 1 Receptor Type 1 - The invention relates to dAb monomers that bind IL-1R1 and inhibit binding of IL-1 (e.g., IL-1α and/or IL-1β) and IL-1ra to IL-1R1, and to ligands comprising such dAb monomers. The invention relates to protease resist and dAb monomers, and to ligands comprising protease resistant dAb monomers. The invention also relates to nucleic acids including vectors that encode the dAb monomers and ligand, to host cells that comprise the nucleic acids and to method for producing a dAb monomer or ligand. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise the dAb monomers or ligands, and to therapeutic methods that comprise administering a dAb monomer of ligand.12-18-2008
20090111745Plad Domain Peptides With Increased Serum Half Life Due To Conjugation To Domain Antibodies - Drug fusions and conjugates that contain a therapeutic or diagnostic agent that is fused or conjugated to an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody that binds serum albumin. The conjugates and fusion have a longer in vivo half life in comparison with the unconjugated or unfused therapeutic or diagnostic agent.04-30-2009
20090155283Noncompetitive Domain Antibody Formats That Bind Interleukin 1 Receptor Type 1 - The invention relates to dAb monomers that bind IL-1R1 and inhibit binding of IL-1 (e.g., IL-1α and/or IL-1β) to the receptor but do not inhibit binding of IL-1ra to IL-1R1, and to ligands comprising such dAb monomers. The invention relates to protease resistand dAb monomers, and to ligands comprising protease resistant dAb monomers. The invention also relates to nucleic acids including vectors that encode the dAb monomers and ligand, to host cells that comprise the nucleic acids and to method for producing a dAb monomer or ligand. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise the dAb monomers or ligands, and to therapeutic methods that comprise administering a dAb monomer of ligand.06-18-2009
20090191217Anti-IL-1R1 Single Domain Antibodies And Therapeutic Uses - Disclosed is the use of an antagonist of Interleukin 1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) for the manufacture of a medicament treating, preventing or suppressing lung inflammation or a respiratory disease. In some embodiments of the described invention, the medicament is for local administration to pulmonary tissue. Also disclosed are methods for treating lung inflammation or a respiratory disease.07-30-2009
20090214534Bispecific Domain Antibodies Targeting Serum Albumin And GLP-1 Or PYY - Drug fusions and conjugates that contain an incretin therapeutic or diagnostic agent that is fused or conjugated to an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody that binds serum albumin. The conjugates and fusion have a longer in vivo half life in comparison with the unconjugated or unfused therapeutic or diagnostic agent.08-27-2009

20110229458METHODS FOR SELECTING PROTEASE RESISTANT POLYPEPTIDES - The disclosure relates to a method for selecting, isolating and/or recovering a peptide or polypeptide from a library or a repertoire of peptides and polypeptides (e.g., a display system) that is resistant to degradation by a protease such as a protease found in the serum. Generally, the method comprises providing a library or repertoire of peptides or polypeptides, incubating the library or repertoire with a protease under conditions suitable for protease activity, and selecting, isolating and/or recovering a peptide or polypeptide that is resistant to degradation by the protease and has a desired biological activity. The selected peptides and polypeptides have utility as therapeutics, e.g., for treating disease in humans.09-22-2011
