Abstract:
The present invention provides an antibody of the class IgG4 comprising at least one heavy chain which comprises a CH1 domain and a hinge region, wherein in each heavy chain: a. the inter-chain cysteine at position 127, numbered according to the Kabat numbering system, in the CH1 domain is substituted with another amino acid; and b. one or more of the amino acids positioned in the upper hinge region is substituted with cysteine.
Abstract:
The present invention provides dual specificity antibody fusion proteins comprising an antibody Fab or Fab′ fragment with specificity for an antigen of interest, said fragment being fused to at least one single domain antibody which has specificity for a second antigen of interest.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an asymmetric mixed antibody comprising two heavy chains or heavy chain fragments each comprising at least a variable region, a hinge region and a CH1 domain, wherein a first heavy chain or fragment thereof is a class IgG4 and has: a the inter-chain cysteine at position 127, numbered according to the Kabat numbering system, in the CH1 domain is substituted with another amino acid; and b optionally one or more of the amino acids positioned in the upper hinge region is substituted with cysteine, and wherein the second heavy chain or fragment thereof is characterized in that part or all of the chain has a different amino acid sequence to said first heavy chain in at least the region outside the variable region (for example the constant region), formulations comprising the same, therapeutic used of both of the above, and processes for preparing the antibodies and formulation.

Abstract:
A recombinant gram-negative bacterial cell comprising one or more of the following mutated protease genes: a) a mutated Tsp gene, wherein the mutated Tsp gene encodes a Tsp protein having reduced protease activity or is a knockout mutated Tsp gene; b) a mutated ptr gene, wherein the mutated ptr gene encodes a Protease III protein having reduced protease activity or is a knockout mutated ptr gene; and c) a mutated DegP gene encoding a DegP protein having chaperone activity and reduced protease activity; wherein the cell is isogenic to a wild-type bacterial cell except for the mutated Tsp gene and/or mutated ptr gene and/or mutated DegP gene and optionally a polynucleotide sequence encoding a protein of interest.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a symmetric bispecific antibody of the class IgG4 comprising two heavy chains which each comprise a variable domain, CH1 domain and a hinge region, wherein in each heavy chain: the cysteine in the CH1 domain which forms an inter-chain disulphide bond with a cysteine in a light chain is substituted with another amino acid; and optionally one or more of the amino acids positioned in the upper hinge region is substituted with cysteine, wherein the constant region sequence of each heavy chain is similar or identical and the variable region in each heavy chain is different, formulations comprising the same, the use of each of the above in treatment and processes for preparing said antibodies and formulations.
Abstract:
