Provided are various embodiments relating to anti-IL31 antibodies binding to canine IL31. Such antibodies can be used in methods to treat IL31-induced conditions in companion animals, such as canines, felines, and equines.

Anti-IL31 antibodies for veterinary use

Provided are various embodiments relating to IL13R/IL4R heterodimeric proteins derived from companion animal species and that bind to IL13 and/or IL4. Such heterodimeric proteins can be used in methods to treat IL13 and/or IL4-induced conditions in companion animals, such as canines, felines, and equines.

IL4/IL13 receptor molecule for veterinary use

Provided are various embodiments relating to parvovirus antibodies, including caninized, felinized, and chimeric antibodies, that bind to canine and/or feline parvovirus, for example, having improved expression characteristics. In various embodiments, the parvovirus antibodies have ADCC, ADCP, and/or CDC effector functions. In various embodiments, such monoclonal parvovirus antibodies can be used in methods to prevent and/or treat parvoviral infection in subjects, such as dogs and cats. For example, the parvovirus antibodies provided may be used to provide passive immunity against infection with a canine or feline parvovirus.

Parvovirus antibodies for veterinary use

Provided are various embodiments relating to variant IgG Fc polypeptides of companion animals having increased Protein A binding for ease of purification, decreased C1q binding for reduced complement-mediated immune responses, decreased CD16 binding (e.g., for reduced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) induction, increased stability, and/or the ability to form heterodimeric proteins. In addition, various embodiments relating to antibodies and fusion proteins comprising such variant IgG Fc polypeptides are provided. Also provided are various embodiments relating to contiguous polypeptides comprising one or more variant GLP1 polypeptide(s) having improved serum half-life. Further provided are various embodiments relating to contiguous polypeptides or heterodimeric polypeptides comprising a GLP1 polypeptide and a glucagon polypeptide as a dual GLP1 receptor and glucagon receptor agonist. In various embodiments, such polypeptides may be used to treat, for example, diabetes, obesity, or related indications, in companion animals, such as canines, felines, and equines.

IgG Fc variants for veterinary use

Provided are various embodiments relating to interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha-1/interleukin 4 receptor subunit alpha (IL13R/IL4R) contiguous polypeptides derived from companion animal species and that bind to IL13 and/or IL4. Such contiguous polypeptides can be used in methods to treat IL13 and/or IL4-induced conditions in companion animals, such as canines, felines, and equines.

Methods of treating a companion animal species comprising administering anti-IL31 antibodies

Provided are various embodiments relating to feline erythropoietin (EPO) polypeptide analogs with one or more additional glycosylation sites and methods of producing and using the same to treat anemia in companion animals. Also provided are various embodiments relating to EPO polypeptides having a mutation in the second binding site, polypeptides comprising an extracellular domain of EPO receptor, and methods of using the same for treating polycythemia in mammals.

Erythropoietin and analogs for veterinary use

Provided are various embodiments relating to anti-IL17A antibodies and IL17Ra ECD polypeptides that bind to IL17A. In various embodiments, such anti-IL17A antibodies or IL17Ra ECD polypeptides can be used in methods to treat IL17-induced conditions in subjects, such as humans or companion animals, such as canines, felines, and equines. Also provided are various embodiments relating to IgG Fc variant polypeptides having one or more amino acid substitutions for reducing binding to C1q and/or CD16. In some embodiments, the IgG Fc variants and/or polypeptides comprising the IgG Fc variants (e.g., fusion polypeptides comprising the IgG Fc variants and the anti-IL17A antibodies and/or IL17Ra ECD polypeptides described herein) may have reduced complement-mediated immune responses and/or antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
