摘要:
Provided herein are biparatopic antigen-binding constructs that specifically bind HER2. The biparatopic antigen-binding constructs comprise one antigen-binding moiety that binds to ECD2 of HER2, a second antigen-binding moiety that binds to ECD4 of HER2, and an Fc. At least one of the antigen-binding moieties is an scFv. The biparatopic antigen-binding constructs can be used in the treatment of cancer.
摘要:
A new density based clustering method for clustering data points in multidimensional space is described. Each point has a neighborhood consisting of all points that are within a preset cutoff radius or distance. Each point is assigned a density measure based on the number of points in its neighborhood. Any point that has a higher density than any of its neighboring points is the center of a cluster and is assigned a unique cluster ID. Every other point follows a path through the graph of neighboring points such that density is increasing as fast as possible until a cluster center is reached. The algorithm's performance is demonstrated on a one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and 18-dimensional dataset.
摘要:
Provided herein are isolated heteromultimers comprising: at least one single domain antigen-binding construct attached to at least one monomer of a heterodimer Fc region; wherein the heterodimer Fc region comprises a variant CH3 domain comprising amino acid mutations that promote the formation of said heterodimer with stability comparable to that of a native Fc homodimer; and wherein said isolated heteromultimer is devoid of immunoglobulin light chains and optionally devoid of immunoglobulin CH1 region. These novel molecules comprise complexes of heterogeneous components designed to alter the natural way antibodies behave and that find use in therapeutics.
摘要:
The invention provides methods and systems of determining biopolymer profiles and correlations between structural units (residues) of a biopolymer based on sampling of the conformational space available to the molecule. The correlations between these structural units can further be used to find networks within a biopolymer such as the coupled residue networks in a protein. The invention also provides for designing and engineering biopolymers including polypeptides, nucleic acids and carbohydrates using the information derived from the conformation clustering and subsequent methods described herein.
摘要:
Provided herein are multifunctional heteromer proteins. In specific embodiments is a heteromultimer that comprises: at least two monomeric proteins, wherein each monomeric protein comprises at least one cargo polypeptide, attached to a transporter polypeptide, such that said monomeric proteins associate to form the heteromultimer. These therapeutically novel molecules comprise monomers that function as scaffolds for the conjugation or fusion of therapeutic molecular entities resulting in the creation of bispecific or multivalent molecular species.
摘要:
Rationally designed antibodies and polypeptides that comprise multiple Fc region amino acid substitutions that synergistically provide enhanced selectivity and binding affinity to a target Fc receptor are provided. The polypeptides are mutated at multiple positions to make them more effective when incorporated in antibody therapeutics than those having wild-type Fc components.
