Provided herein is a method for treating neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), by use of monoclonal antibody, which exhibits a binding affinity to Siglec-3 receptor. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the monoclonal antibody is capable of enhancing phagocytosis of neurotoxic peptides by immune cells thereby providing a neuroprotective effect to a subject in need thereof.

Methods of treating neurodegenerative diseases

Disclosed herein is a novel monoclonal antibody exhibiting binding affinity to Siglec-3 receptor. According to the embodiment, the monoclonal antibody is capable of reversing HBV-induced immunosuppression. Accordingly, also disclosed herein are the uses thereof in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

Anti-Siglec antibody, pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and uses thereof

Disclosed herein are methods for high-throughput screening of a virus-specific neutralizing antibody. According to certain embodiments of the present disclosure, the virus is an influenza virus. Also disclosed herein are the antibodies selected by the high-throughput screening method, and the uses thereof in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of viral infection.

Method for high-throughput screening of neutralizing antibodies, neutralizing antibodies produced therefrom, and uses thereof

Disclosed herein are methods for high-throughput screening of a functional antibody fragment for an immunoconjugate that targets a protein antigen. The method combines a phage-displayed synthetic antibody library and high-throughput cytotoxicity screening of non-covalently assembled immunotoxins or cytotoxic drug to identify highly functional synthetic antibody fragments for delivering toxin payloads.

High-throughput screening of functional antibody fragments, immunoconjugate comprising the same, and adaptor-drug conjugate for screening

Disclosed herein is an immunoconjugate comprising an antibody, a functional motif, and a linker connecting the functional motif to the antibody. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the antibody may recognize tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), and serves as a targeting module for delivering the functional motif connected therewith to the tumor cells thereby inhibiting tumor growth or detecting the distribution of tumor cells. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating cancers and methods of diagnosing cancers by use of the present immunoconjugate.

Immunoconjugate and uses thereof

Disclosed herein is a phage-displayed single-chain variable fragment (scFv) library, that comprised a plurality of phage-displayed scFvs characterized with (1) a specific CS combination; (2) a specific distribution of aromatic residues in each CDR; and (3) a specific sequence in each CDR. The present scFv library could be used to efficiently produce different antibodies with binding affinity to different antigens. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a potential means to generate different antigen-specific antibodies promptly in accordance with the need in experimental researches and/or clinical applications.

Recombinant antibody and uses thereof

Disclosed herein is a phage-displayed single-chain variable fragment (scFv) library, which comprises a plurality of phage-displayed scFvs characterized in having a specific CS combination and a specific sequence in each CDR. The present scFv library is useful in efficiently producing different antibodies with binding affinity to different antigens. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a potential means to generate different antigen-specific antibodies promptly in accordance with the need in experimental researches and/or clinical applications.

Phage-displayed single-chain variable fragment libraries and uses thereof

Glycan arrays that can detect and distinguish between various sub-types and strains of influenza virus are provided. Methods for using the glycan arrays with assays using nanoparticle amplification technique are disclosed. Sandwich assays using gold nanoparticles conjugated to phage particles comprising influenza virus-specific antibodies for detecting multiple serotypes using a single reaction are provided. Plurality of glycans directed to specific target HA of influenza virus comprises the array. Detector molecules comprising noble metals conjugated to (a) phage display particles expressing antibodies against hemagglutinin and (b) neuraminidase binding agents are disclosed.

Glycan arrays for high throughput screening of viruses

Disclosed herein are phage-displayed single-chain variable fragment (scFv) libraries, which comprised a plurality of scFvs with a specific sequence in each CDR. The present scFv libraries could be used to efficiently produce different antibodies with high binding affinity to H1 hemagglutinin of influenza virus. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a potential means to generate different antigen-specific antibodies promptly in accordance with the need in experimental researches and/or clinical applications.

Phage-displayed antibody libraries and uses thereof

Phage-displayed single-chain variable fragment library

Disclosed are nucleic acid libraries for identifying a signal peptide that facilitates production of disulfide-stabilized single chain antibody, and for facilitating production of a disulfide-stabilized single chain antibody. Also disclosed are host cell libraries and phage libraries including the nucleic acid libraries. Further disclosed are methods for identifying a signal peptide that facilitates production of disulfide-stabilized single chain antibody, and methods for producing a disulfide-stabilized single chain antibody and non-fusion form thereof.
