The present invention concerns antigen binding proteins specifically binding melanoma associated antigen A (MAGE-A) protein-derived antigens. The invention in particular provides antigen binding proteins which specifically bind to the MAGE-A antigenic peptide comprising or consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 in a complex with a major histocombatibility (MHC) protein. The antigen binding proteins of the invention contain, in particular, the complementary determining regions (CDRs) of novel engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically bind to said MAGE-A peptide/MHC complex. The antigen binding proteins of the invention are of use for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of MAGE-A expressing cancerous diseases. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the antigen binding proteins of the invention, vectors comprising these nucleic acids, recombinant cells expressing the antigen binding proteins and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antigen binding proteins of the invention.

Antigen binding proteins specifically binding MAGE-A

Antigen binding polypeptide specifically binding to α/β T cell receptor (TCR)/cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) complex. Nucleic acid containing a sequence encoding for the antigen binding polypeptide or a vector containing the nucleic acid. Recombinant host cells containing the antigen binding polypeptide, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the antigen binding polypeptide, the nucleic acid, the vector, and/or the host cell. Use of the antigen binding polypeptide, the nucleic acid, the vector, the host cell, or the pharmaceutical composition in medicine, in particular for use in the diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment of a proliferative disease. Methods for improving or maintaining the binding and/or improving the stability of the antigen binding polypeptides. Methods for detecting, determining or enriching T cells expressing the α/β TCR/CD3 complex.

BMA031 antigen binding polypeptides

The present invention pertains to antigen recognizing constructs against COL6A3 antigens. The invention in particular provides novel engineered T cell receptor (TCR) based molecules which are selective and specific for the tumor expressing antigen COL6A3. The TCR of the invention, and COL6A3 antigen binding fragments derived therefrom, are of use for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of COL6A3 expressing cancerous diseases. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the antigen recognizing constructs of the invention, vectors comprising these nucleic acids, recombinant cells expressing the antigen recognizing constructs and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the invention.

Engineered T cell receptors and immune therapy using the same

The present invention relates to a bispecific polypeptide molecule comprising a first polypeptide chain and a second polypeptide chain providing a binding region derived from a T cell receptor (TCR) being specific for a major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-associated peptide epitope, and a binding region derived from an antibody capable of recruiting human immune effector cells by specifically binding to a surface antigen of said cells, as well as methods of making the bispecific polypeptide molecule, and uses thereof.

Dual specificity polypeptide molecule

The present invention concerns antigen binding proteins directed against PRAME protein-derived antigens. The invention in particular provides antigen binding proteins which are specific for the tumor expressed antigen PRAME, wherein the tumor antigen comprises or consists of SEQ ID NO: 50 and is in a complex with a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein. The antigen binding proteins of the invention contain, in particular, the complementary determining regions (CDRs) of novel engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically bind to said PRAME peptide. The antigen binding proteins of the invention are for use in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PRAME expressing cancerous diseases. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the antigen binding proteins of the invention, vectors comprising said nucleic acids, recombinant cells expressing the antigen binding proteins and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antigen binding proteins of the invention.

Antigen binding proteins specifically binding PRAME

The present invention relates to a cytotoxic agent for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of a viral infection which is configured for the selective binding to a membrane receptor of virus-infected T lymphocytes, a pharmaceutical composition containing said cytotoxic agent, the use of the cytotoxic agent for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of viral infections, a method of finding cytotoxic agents, the use of a membrane receptor of virus-infected T lymphocytes which is overexpressed in comparison to non-infected T lymphocytes for the diagnosis of a viral infection.

Antiviral immunotherapy by membrane receptor ligation

The present invention relates to anti-FLT3 antibodies with a modified Fc region comprising the amino acid substitutions 239D and 332E to enhance antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) of these antibodies. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing these antibodies, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies as well as methods of using such antibodies.
