Monoclonal Antibodies Against PCDH7 for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. UTHealth researchers discovered that the cell surface protein Protocadherin 7 (PCDH7) is highly expressed in NSCLC and promotes lung cancer development. Inventors at UTH in collaboration with Dr. O’Donnell’s group at UTSW have discovered a panel...

Monoclonal antibodies against human endotrophin for therapeutic and diagnostic use.

Background Studies have shown that endotrophin, the carboxy-terminal cleavage product of the COL6α3 chain, has potent effects on transformed mammary ductal epithelial cells in rodents. It is abundantly expressed in adipose tissue and is a chemoattractant for macrophages, exerts effects on endothelial cells and enhances the progression through...

Monoclonal Antibodies Binding to Transferrin Receptor (TfR) for Therapeutic Protein Delivery across Blood-Brain Barrier

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits brain entry and is one of the major hurdles in developing antibody and protein-based therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. UTHealth researchers identified and engineered monoclonal antibodies binding to transferrin receptor (TfR) but not affecting transferrin (Tf) binding to TfR. An engineered monovalent...

TREM2 Monoclonal Antibody for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) plays a key regulatory role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by controlling microglia activation and metabolic activities in brain tissues. Previous studies in rodent models of AD have shown that mice with increased TREM2 expression have reduced amyloid pathology. UTHealth inventors created and...

R-Spondin Polypeptides and Drug Conjugates for Cancer Treatment

R-spondins (RSPOs) are secreted proteins with critical roles in cancer development through binding to LGR4/5/6 and RNF43/ZNRF3 and potentiating Wnt signaling. UTHealth pioneering scientist engineered and fused an immunoglobin Fc domain to the mutated RSPOs (RSPO peptibodies). RSPO peptibodies can binds to LGR4/5/6 with high affinity but exhibit reduced...
