摘要:
The present inventors discovered that by forming a large immune complex comprising antigens containing two or more antigenic binding units (epitopes) and two or more antigen-binding molecules (for example, antibodies), elimination from the plasma of the antigens containing two or more antigenic binding units can be accelerated. Moreover, they found that by using this characteristic and by further using antigen-binding molecules having an ion-dependent antigen-binding activity, elimination of the antigens can further be accelerated and the above problem can be solved.
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.
摘要:
The present inventors discovered that antibodies having weaker antigen-binding activity at the early endosomal pH in comparison with that at the pH of plasma are capable of binding to multiple antigen molecules with a single antibody molecule, have long half-lives in plasma, and have improved durations of time in which they can bind to antigen.
摘要:
The present inventors successfully obtained anti-NR10 antibodies having an effective neutralizing activity against NR10. The anti-NR10 antibodies provided by the present invention are useful as, for example, pharmaceuticals for treating or preventing inflammatory diseases.
摘要:
Antigen-binding domains that are capable of binding to CD3 and CD137 but do not bind to CD3 and CD137 at the same time and methods of using the same are provided. Methods to obtain antigen binding domains which bind to two or more different antigens more efficiently are also provided.
摘要:
It was found that association between CH1 and CL can be suppressed by substituting amino acids that exist on the interface between CH1 and CL with electrically-charged amino acids, and that formation of heterogeneous molecules is enabled more efficiently than by introducing knobs into holes mutations into CH3 domain.
摘要:
The present inventors newly discovered that even if an antigen-binding molecule inhibits in vitro some of the physiological activities of an antigen having two or more physiological activities without inhibiting the remaining physiological activities, the molecule can promote elimination of the antigen from blood (from serum or plasma) and as a result reduce the physiological activities in vivo, when the antigen-binding molecule is conferred with the properties: (i) of binding to human FcRn under an acidic pH range condition; (ii) of binding under a neutral pH range condition to human Fc receptor stronger than native human IgG, and (iii) that its antigen-binding activity alters according to the ion concentration.
摘要:
The present invention demonstrated that the modification of the Fc region of an antigen-binding molecule into an Fc region that does not form in a neutral pH range a heterotetramer complex containing two molecules of FcRn and an active Fcγ receptor improved the pharmacokinetics of the antigen-binding molecule and reduced the immune response to the antigen-binding molecule. The present invention also revealed methods for producing antigen-binding molecules having the properties described above, and successfully demonstrated that pharmaceutical compositions containing as an active ingredient such an antigen-binding molecule or an antigen-binding molecule produced by a production method of the present invention have excellent features over conventional antigen-binding molecules in that when administered, they exhibit improved pharmacokinetics and reduced in vivo immune response.
摘要:
Various bispecific antibodies that specifically bind to both blood coagulation factor IX/activated blood coagulation factor IX and blood coagulation factor X and functionally substitute for the cofactor function of blood coagulation factor VIII, that is, the function to promote activation of blood coagulation factor X by activated blood coagulation factor IX, were produced. From these antibodies, multispecific antigen-binding molecules having a high activity of functionally substituting for blood coagulation factor VIII were successfully discovered.
