摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide an Fc region variant with enhanced Fc³RIIb-binding activity, and/or enhanced binding selectivity to Fc³RIIb compared to Fc³RIIa (type R), as compared to those of a polypeptide containing an Fc region to which an amino acid alteration(s) has not been introduced; a polypeptide which includes the Fc region variant; a pharmaceutical composition containing the polypeptide; preventing therapeutic or preventive agent for immunological inflammatory diseases that includes the pharmaceutical composition; a production method thereof; and a method of enhancing Fc³RIIb-binding activity and also enhancing binding selectivity to Fc³RIIb compared to Fc³RIIa (type R). It was found that a polypeptide containing an antibody Fc region variant that contains an amino acid sequence in which an amino-acid alteration at position 238 (EU numbering) is combined with other specific amino-acid alterations enhances Fc³RIIb-binding activity, and/or enhances binding selectivity to Fc³RIIb compared to Fc³RIIa (type R).

An objective of the present invention is to provide target tissue-specific antigen-binding molecules, antigen-binding molecules whose antigen-binding activity varies depending on the concentration of an unnatural compound, libraries comprising a plurality of the antigen-binding molecules which are different from one another, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antigen-binding molecules, methods of screening for the antigen-binding molecules, and methods for producing the antigen-binding molecules. The present inventors created antigen-binding domains whose antigen-binding activity varies depending on the concentration of a small molecule compound or antigen-binding molecules containing an antigen-binding domain, and libraries comprising a plurality of the antigen-binding domains which are different from one another or antigen-binding domains, and demonstrated that the above-noted objective could be achieved by using the libraries. Various diseases originating from target tissues can be treated in a target tissue-specific manner by using the antigen-binding molecules of the present invention.

The present inventors discovered that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by producing antigen-binding molecules that contain an antigen-binding domain whose antigen-binding activity varies depending on the concentration of a target tissue-specific compound. Use of antigen-binding molecules of the present invention enables various diseases that originate from a target tissue to be treated in a manner specific to the target tissue.

The present invention provides antigen-binding molecules containing (i) an antigen-binding domain whose antigen-binding activity varies depending on ion concentration conditions, (ii) an Fc³-binding domain having Fc³ RIIb-selective binding activity, and (iii) an FcRn-binding domain having FcRn-binding activity under an acidic pH range condition, and methods of decreasing plasma antigen concentration as compared to before administering the molecule, which include the step of administering the molecule.
摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide a polypeptide containing an Fc region having maintained or decreased binding activities towards both allotypes of Fc³RIIa, types H and R, and having enhanced Fc³RIIb-binding activity in comparison with a parent polypeptide; a pharmaceutical composition containing the polypeptide; an agent for treating or preventing immunological inflammatory diseases that includes the pharmaceutical composition; a production method thereof; and a method for maintaining or decreasing binding activities towards both allotypes of Fc³RIIa and enhancing the Fc³RIIb-binding activity. Specifically, it is found that a polypeptide containing an antibody Fc region that has an alteration of substituting Pro at position 238 (EU numbering) with Asp or Leu at position 328 (EU numbering) with Glu enhances Fc³RIIb-binding activity, and maintains or decreases binding activities towards both allotypes of Fc³RIIa, types H and R. It is also found that a polypeptide containing an antibody Fc region that contains an alteration of substituting Pro at position 238 (EU numbering) with Asp and several other alterations, enhances Fc³RIIb-binding activity, and maintains or decreases binding activities towards both allotypes of Fc³RIIa, types H and R.
摘要:
The present inventors have successfully prepared an antigen-binding molecule comprising an antibody variable region that has binding activity against a molecule expressed on the surface of a T cell and a molecule expressed on the surface of any other immunocyte, but does not bind to these molecules at the same time. The present invention allows the preparation of an antigen-binding molecule capable of circumventing adverse reactions that may be caused by the cross-linking of T cells to other immunocytes, and provides an antigen-binding molecule suitable as a drug.
摘要:
The present inventors produced a heterodimerized polypeptide having an Fc region formed from two polypeptides with different amino acid sequences (a first polypeptide and a second polypeptide), and succeeded in producing a heterodimerized polypeptide containing an Fc region with improved Fc region function compared to that of a homodimer in which the Fc region is composed of only the first polypeptide or only the second polypeptide by conventional technology.
