摘要:
Polypeptides with improved stability as compared to that of a parent polypeptide were successfully obtained by modifying at least one amino acid in a loop region of the antibody Fc region. Furthermore, by combining multiple amino acid modifications in the loop region, polypeptides with maintained or enhanced Fc³R-binding activity as well as improved thermal stability, polypeptides with decreased Fc³R-binding activity as well as improved thermal stability, and polypeptides with not only improved thermal stability and adjusted Fc³R-binding activity but also decreased aggregate content, as compared to those of a parent polypeptide, were successfully obtained.
摘要:
The present inventors have successfully found a large number of Fc variants with remarkably increased binding activity against and/or binding selectivity for mouse Fc³RII by introducing amino acid alteration(s) to the Fc region.
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).
摘要:
A polypeptide containing an antibody Fc region variant which has an amino acid sequence in which an amino acid alteration at position 238 according to EU numbering is combined with other specific amino acid alteration(s), was found to have decreased binding activities to all activating Fc³Rs, in particular Fc³RIIa (R type), while maintaining its Fc³RIIb-binding activity, when compared to a polypeptide containing a native IgG Fc region.
摘要:
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 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.
