摘要:
Provided is a method of quantitatively determining the ability of individual IgG heavy chains to selectively pair with a particular IgG light chain when the heavy chains and two unique light chains are co-expressed. The method provides results with reasonable throughput and is robust and accurate. The co-expressed heavy and light chains do not need to be isolated and purified which enables more efficient screening.

Disclosed herein are isolated multispecific heteromultimer constructs comprising multispecific heteromultimer construct comprising: a first polypeptide construct comprising a first heavy chain polypeptide and a CD3 binding polypeptide construct that binds to a CD3 complex on at least one CD3 expressing cell; a second polypeptide construct comprising a second heavy chain polypeptide which is different from said first heavy chain polypeptide, and an antigen binding polypeptide construct that binds to a target antigen on at least one B cell; wherein: said multispecific heteromultimer construct simultaneously engages said at least one B cell and said at least one CD3 expressing cell such that the CD3 expressing cell is activated, thereby inducing killing of the B cell; and said first and second heavy chain polypeptides form a heterodimeric Fc region comprising a variant immunoglobulin CH3 region comprising at least one amino acid mutation that promotes the formation of said heterodimeric Fc with stability at least comparable to a native homodimeric Fc, and with high purity. Also provided are isolated multispecific heteromultimer construct comprising: a first polypeptide construct comprising a first transporter polypeptide fused to at least one CD3 binding polypeptide construct that binds to a CD3 complex on at least one CD3 expressing cell; a second polypeptide construct comprising a second transporter polypeptide which is different from said first transporter polypeptide, fused to at least one antigen binding polypeptide construct that binds to a target antigen on at least one B cell; wherein said first and second transporter polypeptides are derived from a protein by segmentation of said protein, each transporter polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 90% identity to a segment of said protein, and wherein said transporter polypeptides self-assemble to form a quasi-native structure of said monomeric protein.
摘要:
Described herein are isolated bi-specific antigen binding constructs, e.g., antibodies. The bi-specific antigen binding constructs include two antigen binding polypeptide constructs, e.g., a Fab and an scFv. The first antigen-binding polypeptide construct monovalently and specifically binds to extracellular domain 4 (ECD4) of HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2); the second antigen-binding polypeptide construct monovalently and specifically binds to an extracellular domain (ECD) of HER3 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 3). One antigen binding polypeptide construct is a Fab format and the other antigen binding polypeptide construct is an scFv format. The bi-specific antigen binding constructs includes an Fc having two Fc polypeptides each having a CH3 domain for dimerization. Each Fc polypeptide is linked to the C-terminus of one of the antigen binding polypeptide constructs with or without a linker.
