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:
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:
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:
The provided scaffolds have heavy chains that are asymmetric in the various domains (e.g. CH2 and CH3) to accomplish selectivity between the various Fc receptors involved in modulating effector function, beyond those achievable with a natural homodimeric (symmetric) Fc molecule, and increased stability and purity of the resulting variant Fc heterodimers. These novel molecules comprise complexes of heterogeneous components designed to alter the natural way antibodies behave and that find use in therapeutics.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are isolated multi-specific heteromultimer constructs that bind to CD3 expressed on T-cells and to an antigen expressed on B-cells. The multi-specific heteromultimer constructs are capable of bridging T- and B-cells and mediating killing of B-cells. The multi-specific heteromultimer constructs are based on a heterodimeric Fc scaffold or on a segmented albumin scaffold. Also disclosed herein are multi-specific heteromultimer constructs that bind to HER2 and HER3.
摘要:
Disclosed are the atomic coordinates of compositions comprising Fc heterodimer proteins in crystalline form derived from high resolution x-ray diffraction. Further disclosed are systems and methods for using all or a portion of these atomic coordinates to identify and design improved Fc heterodimer proteins. Further disclosed are compositions comprising a mixture of (i) a solubilized Fc heterodimer protein and (ii) a mother liquor solution. The mother liquor solution comprises between 2% and 10% (v/v) ethylene glycol, between 10% and 25% (w/v) polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of between 2000 Daltons and 10000 Daltons, and between 0.05 M and 0.40 M ammonium iodide. Further disclosed are systems and methods of identifying a mutation which promotes heterodimeric Fc chain pair formation in which structure based modeling is performed to identify a candidate mutation to an Fc chain using all or a portion of the disclosed three-dimensional atomic coordinates.
摘要:
Provided herein are monovalent antibody constructs. In specific embodiments is a monovalent antibody construct comprising: an antigen-binding polypeptide construct which monovalently binds an antigen; and a dimeric Fc polypeptide construct comprising a CH3 domain, said construct comprising two monomeric Fc polypeptides, wherein one said monomeric Fc polypeptide is fused to at least one polypeptide from the antigen-binding polypeptide construct. These therapeutically novel molecules encompass monovalent constructs that display an increase in binding density and Bmax (maximum binding at a target to antibody ratio of 1:1) to a target cell displaying said antigen as compared to a corresponding monospecific bivalent antibody construct with two antigen binding regions. Provided herein are methods for creation of monovalent antibody constructs that shows superior effector efficacy as compared to the corresponding bivalent antibody construct at equimolar concentrations. Provided herein are methods for creation of monovalent antibody constructs that unexpectedly inhibit tumor cell growth and can be internalized and show greater efficacy compared to a bivalent antibody construct at equimolar saturating concentrations. Provided are monovalent antibody constructs for the treatment of HER2 expressing diseases.
