The present invention generally relates to antibodies that bind to HLA-A2/WT1, including bispecific antigen binding molecules e.g. for activating T cells. In addition, the present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding such antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further relates to methods for producing the antibodies, and to methods of using them in the treatment of disease.

Antibodies binding to HLA-A2/WT1

The present invention generally relates to diagnostic assays using cell cultures, in particular to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressing reporter cell assays to analyze samples, in particular patient samples, to diagnose cancer by quantifying the expression of tumor antigens and/or predicting clinical response to cancer immunotherapies. A further aspect of the present invention is to improve safety of e.g., cancer immunotherapies.

CAR-T reporter based diagnostic assays to detect tumor antigens in cancer patients

The present invention generally relates to specificity assays using cell cultures, in particular to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressing reporter T (CAR-T) cell assays to test novel antigen binding moieties in different formats. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of CAR-T cells, transfected/transduced with an engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising a target antigen binding moiety capable of specific binding to a recognition domain of an antigen binding molecule. The invention also relates to methods and kits for specificity testing of a candidate antigen binding moiety and/or nucleic acid molecules and vectors expressing engineered CARs.

Universal reporter cell assay for specificity test of novel antigen binding moieties

The present invention generally relates to specificity assays using cell cultures, in particular to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressing reporter T (CAR-T cell) assays to test antigen binding moieties in different formats. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of CAR-T cells, transfected/transduced with an engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising a target antigen binding moiety capable of specific binding to a target antigen, e.g., tumor associated antigens.

Car-t cell assay for specificity test of novel antigen binding moieties

The present invention relates to combination therapies employing anti-CD20/anti-CD3 bispecific antibodies and 4-1BB (CD137) agonists, in particular 4-1BBL trimer containing antigen binding molecules, the use of these combination therapies for the treatment of cancer and methods of using the combination therapies.

Combination therapy of anti-CD20/anti-CD3 bispecific antibodies and 4-1BB (CD137) agonists

The invention is concerned with a method of predicting response to a PD-1 axis inhibitor such as anti-PD-L1 antibody by determining the abundance of dendritic cells (DCs) in a tumor tissue sample. The abundance of DCs characterized by enhanced expressions of XCR1, IRF8, BATF3 and FLT3 predicts clinical response to the PD-L1 blockade 5 treatment.

Predicting response to PD-1 axis inhibitors

The invention relates to new bispecific antigen binding molecules, comprising at least one antigen binding domain capable of specific binding to 4-1BB, at least one moiety capable of specific binding to a target cell antigen, and a Fc domain composed of a first and a second subunit capable of stable association, and to methods of producing these molecules and to methods of using the same.
