摘要:
The present invention relates to novel molecules (Fc variants) comprising at least one antigen binding region and an Fc region that further comprises a modified hinge which alters the binding of Fc to one or more Fc ligand (e.g., FcγRs) and/or modulates effector function. More specifically, this invention provides Fc variants that have modified binding affinity to one or more FcγR and/or C1q. Additionally, the Fc variants have altered antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity. The invention further provides methods and protocols for the application of said Fc variants particularly for therapeutic purposes.

摘要:
The present invention relates to novel molecules (Fc variants) comprising at least one antigen binding region and an Fc region that further comprises a modified hinge which improves stability and/or alters the binding of Fc to one or more metal ion and/or one or more Fc ligand (e.g., FcγRs) and/or modulates effector function. More specifically, this invention provides Fc variants that are less susceptible to metal ion-mediated cleavage and/or have modified binding affinity to one or more FcγR and/or C1q. Additionally, the Fc variants have altered antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity. Furthermore, the modified hinge of the Fc variants retains a similar flexibility to the wild type hinge. The invention further provides methods and protocols for the application of said Fc variants particularly for therapeutic purposes.

The present invention relates to recombinant polynucleotides, expression vectors and methods for the production of multimeric proteins. The vectors and methods are useful for the production of multimeric protein and are unique in that they utilize a minimal number of signal sequences. More specifically, the present invention provides recombinant polynucleotide molecules and expression vectors comprising a promoter region operably linked to a transcription unit. The transcription unit is characterized by at least two DNA sequences encoding distinct polypeptides wherein at least one but not all DNA sequences further encodes a signal sequence operably linked to the DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide. The invention further provides methods of producing a multimeric protein using the expression vectors of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a reliable, reproducible method for improving the producibility of an antibody. More specifically, this invention provides a method for modifying the heavy chain of an antibody to improve its producibility in eukaryotic cells. Additionally, the method of the invention may improve both antibody producibility and one or more antigen binding characteristics. The invention further provides modified antibodies which are better produced and which have either no change in their antigen binding characteristics or exhibit improved antigen binding characteristics.
