Patents Assigned to Emergent Product Development Seattle, LLC
  • Publication number: 20120213773
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel binding domain-immunoglobulin fusion proteins that feature a binding domain for a cognate structure such as an antigen, a counterreceptor or the like, a wild-type IgG1, IGA or IgE hinge region polypeptide or a mutant IgG1 hinge region polypeptide having either zero, one or two cysteine residues, and immunoglobulin CH2 and CH3 domains, and that are capable of ADCC and/or CDC while occurring predominantly as polypeptides that are compromised in their ability to form disulfide-linked multimers. The fusion proteins can be recombinantly produced at high express levels. Also provided are related compositions and methods, including cell surface forms of the fusion proteins and immunotherapeutic applications of the fusion proteins and of polynucleotides encoding such fusion proteins.

  • Publication number: 20120100139
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a multi-specific fusion protein composed of a CD86 antagonist binding domain and another binding domain that is an IL-10 agonist, an HLA-G agonist, an HGF agonist, an IL-35 agonist, a PD-1 agonist, a BTLA agonist, a LIGHT antagonist, a GITRL antagonist or a CD40 antagonist. The multi-specific fusion protein may also include an intervening domain that separates the other domains. This disclosure also provides polynucleotides encoding the multi-specific fusion proteins, compositions of the fusion proteins, and methods of using the multi-specific fusion proteins and compositions.
