A recombinant polynucleotide suitable for use in a display vector is provided. The recombinant polynucleotide includes from 5' to 3′: a first nucleic acid sequence (or insert) encoding an amino acid sequence to be displayed on a surface; a first pre-selected restriction site; a second nucleic acid sequence encoding a surface peptide capable of being displayed on the surface; and a second pre-selected restriction site. Corresponding display vectors that can be converted into expression vectors in a high-throughput fashion, as well as methods of use thereof, are also provided.

Integrated system for library construction, affinity binder screening and expression thereof

Provided herein are libraries containing polynucleotides, where one of the polynucleotides encodes an antibody heavy chain with specific hypervariable regions HVR-H1 and HVR-H2. Further provided herein are libraries containing polynucleotides encoding a plurality of unique antibodies, wherein each antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region. Also provided are antibodies, polypeptide libraries, vector libraries, cells, non-human animals, antibody heavy chains, methods of making an antibody library, kits, and methods of generating a bispecific antibody related thereto.

Dynamic human heavy chain antibody libraries

The present disclosure provides antibodies that bind to human CD137 or antigen binding fragments thereof, nucleic acid encoding the same, therapeutic compositions thereof, and their use to enhance T-cell function to upregulate cell-mediated immune responses and for the treatment of T cell dysfunctional disorders, such as tumor immunity, and for the treatment of cancer.

Anti-CD137 molecules and use thereof

The present disclosure provides antibodies that bind to the T-cell co-inhibitor ligand programmed death-ligand1 (PD-L1) protein, and methods of use. In various embodiments of the disclosure, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to PD-L1. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides multi-specific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first binding specificity that binds to PD-L1 and a second binding specificity that binds to a tumor cell antigen, an infected cell-specific antigen, or a T-cell co-inhibitor. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the disclosure are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing PD-L1 activity, thus providing a means of treating a disease or disorder such as cancer or viral infection.

Anti-PD-L1 antibodies and use thereof

Provided herein are libraries containing synthetic polynucleotides that encode activatable binding polypeptides. Further provided herein are activatable binding polypeptides and polypeptide libraries containing such activatable binding polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors, vector libraries, cells, kits, and methods of making and using activatable polypeptide libraries.

Masked activatable CD137 antibodies

Provided are antibodies that bind to human CD137 or antigen binding fragments thereof, nucleic acid encoding the same, therapeutic compositions thereof, and their use to enhance T-cell function to upregulate cell-mediated immune responses and for the treatment of T cell dysfunctional disorders, such as tumor immunity, and for the treatment of cancer.

Method for treating cancer using anti-CD137 antibody

Provided herein are cross-reactive antibodies (or antigen binding fragments thereof) that bind to human CTLA4, activatable antibodies that bind to human CTLA4, nucleic acid molecules encoding the same, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of their therapeutic use (e.g., for treatment of cancer).

Anti-CTLA4 antibodies and methods of making and using the same

Provided herein are libraries containing polynucleotides, where one of the polynucleotides encodes an antibody light chain with specific hypervariable regions HVR-L1, HVR-L2, and HVR-L3. Further provided herein are libraries containing polynucleotides encoding a plurality of unique antibodies, wherein each antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region. Also provided are antibodies, polypeptide libraries, vector libraries, cells, non-human animals, antibody light chains, methods of making an antibody library, kits, and methods of generating a bispecific antibody related thereto.

Dynamic human antibody light chain libraries

Methods and systems for autoinduction of gene expression, without the need to add exogenous inducers. A dual genetic element system, which includes a first, high copy number genetic element comprising a first gene of interest that is under the control of an inducible promoter, and a second, low copy number genetic element comprising a gene encoding a transcriptional factor which, upon expression, regulates transcription from the inducible promoter, wherein activation of transcription from the inducible promoter does not require addition of an exogenous inducer.
