摘要:
The present invention relates to heterospecific polypeptide constructs comprising at least one single domain antibody directed against a therapeutic and/or diagnostic target and at least one single domain antibody directed against a serum protein, said construct having a prolonged lifetime in biological circulatory systems. The invention further relates to methods for stabilising VHHs in biological circulatory systems.
摘要:
Proteins which are potent anticoagulants and have at least one NAP domain and are described. These proteins having anticoagulant activity can be isolated from natural sources such as nematodes, chemically synthesized or made by recombinant methods using various DNA expression systems.

摘要:
In a broad aspect the present invention generally relates to novel dimer-complexes (herein called “non-fused-dimers” or NFDs) comprising single variable domains, methods of making these complexes and uses thereof. These non-covalently bound dimer-complexes consist of two identical monomers that each comprises of one or more single variable domains (homodimers) or of two different monomers that each comprises on or more single variable domains (heterodimers). The subject NFDs have typically altered e.g. improved binding characteristics over their monomelic counterpart. The NFDs of the invention may further be engineered through linkage by a flexible peptide or cysteines in order to improve the stability. This invention also describes conditions under which such NFDs are formed and conditions under which the formation of such dimers can be avoided.
摘要:
Stable formulations are provided that contain immunoglobulin single variable domains at a high concentration. The formulations are useful as pharmaceutical formulation and suitable for subcutaneous administration. The formulations can be transported and stored under various stress conditions. The invention further relates to containers and pharmaceutical units comprising such formulations and to methods for preparing and prophylactic and therapeutic uses of the formulations and pharmaceutical units of the invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to amino acid sequences that are directed against the p19 subunit of IL-23; as well as protein, constructs and compounds comprising the same; and also nucleic acids encoding the same.
摘要:
Biparatopic protein constructs that are directed against IL-23, and in particular against the p19 subunit of IL-23. The constructs comprise at least a first binding domain or binding unit directed against a first defined epitope on p19 and at least a second binding domain or binding unit directed against a second defined epitope on p19 (or the p19/p40 interface). The binding domains or binding units may in particular be a domain antibody, a single domain antibody, a dAb or a Nanobody®. The constructs and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same can be used for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases and disorders associated with IL-23 or IL-23 mediated signaling, such as inflammation and inflammatory disorders such as colitis, Crohn's disease and IBD, infectious diseases, psoriasis, cancer, autoimmune diseases, sarcoidosis, transplant rejection, cystic Fibrosis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, viral infection, and common variable immunodeficiency.
