Patent number: 7732377Abstract: A member of a specific binding pair (sbp) is identified by expressing DNA encoding a genetically diverse population of such sbp members in recombinant host cells in which the sbp members are displayed in functional form at the surface of a filamentous bacteriophage particle containing DNA encoding the sbp member, wherein the sbp member has a binding domain that consists of a dAb fragment. The displayed sbps may be selected by affinity with a complementary sbp member, and the DNA recovered from selected filamentous bacteriophage particles for expression of the selected sbp members.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2004Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignees: Medical Research Council, MedImmune LimitedInventors: John McCafferty, Anthony Richard Pope, Kevin Stuart Johnson, Henricus Renerus Jacobus Mattheus Hoogenboom, Andrew David Griffiths, Ronald Henry Jackson, Kaspar Philipp Holliger, James David Marks, Timothy Piers Clackson, David John Chiswell, Gregory Paul Winter, Timothy Peter Bonnert

Publication number: 20100136660Abstract: A member of a specific binding pair (sbp) is identified by expressing DNA encoding a genetically diverse population of such sbp members in recombinant host cells in which the sbp members are displayed in functional form at the surface of a secreted recombinant genetic display package (rgdp) containing DNA encoding the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof, by virtue of the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof being expressed as a fusion with a capsid component of the rgdp. The displayed sbps may be selected by affinity with a complementary sbp member, and the DNA recovered from selected rgdps for expression of the selected sbp members. Antibody sbp members may be thus obtained, with the different chains thereof expressed, one fused to the capsid component and the other in free form for association with the fusion partner polypeptide. A phagemid may be used as an expression vector, with said capsid fusion helping to package the phagemid DNA.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2009Publication date: June 3, 2010Inventors: John McCafferty, Anthony Richard Pope, Kevin Stuart Johnson, Henricus Renerus Jacobus Mattheus Hoogenboom, Andrew David Griffiths, Ronald Henry Jackson, Kaspar Philipp Holliger, James David Marks, Timothy Piers Clackson, David John Chiswell, Gregory Paul Winter, Timothy Peter Bonnert

Patent number: 7122646Abstract: Polypeptides comprising a first domain, which comprises a binding region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region, and a second domain, which comprises a binding region of an immunoglobulin light chain variable region, the domains being linked but incapable of associating with each other to form an antigen binding site, associate to form antigen binding multimers, such as dimers, which may be multivalent or have multispecificity. The domains may be linked by a short peptide linker or may be joined directly together. Bispecific dimers may have longer linkers. Methods of preparation of the polypeptides and multimers and diverse repertoires thereof, and their display on the surface of bacteriophage for easy selection of binders of interest, are disclosed, along with many utilities.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2002Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Medical Research CouncilInventors: Kaspar-Philipp Holliger, Andrew David Griffiths, Hendricus Renerus Jacobus Matheus Hoogenboom, Magnus Malmqvist, James David Marks, Brian Timothy McGuinness, Anthony Richard Pope, Terence Derek Prospero, Gregory Paul Winter

Patent number: 6589527Abstract: Antibodies are retargeted to a target for which they have no functional specificity under normal circumstances. Use is made of a multi-specific binding substance which has binding specificity for the target and anti-antibody binding specificity. The binding substance may comprise an immunoglobulin antigen binding site and may be a “diabody”. Depending on the antibody bound, effector functions such as Complement, ADCC and immune blocking are recruited to act on the target. Example targets are human cells. In vivo and in vitro utilities are exemplified, including lysis of tumor cells and agglutination of red blood cells.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1996Date of Patent: July 8, 2003Assignee: Medical Reseach CouncilInventors: Gregory Paul Winter, Kaspar Philipp Holliger

Patent number: 6010884Abstract: DNA constructs comprise a first exon sequence of nucleotides encoding a first peptide or polypeptide, a second exon sequence of nucleotides encoding a second peptide or polypeptide and a third sequence of nucleotides between the first and second sequences encoding a heterologous intron, for example that of Tetrahymena thermophila nuclear pre-rRNA, between RNA splice sites and a site-specific recombination sequence, such as loxP, within the intron, the exons together encoding a product peptide or polypeptide. Such constructs are of use in methods of production of peptides or polypeptides, transcription leading to splicing out of the intron enabling translation of a single chain product peptide or polypeptide. Isolated nucleic acid constructs consisting essentially of a sequence of nucleotides encoding a self-splicing intron with a site-specific recombination sequence within the intron, for use in creation of constructs for expression of peptides or polypeptides, are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 1996Date of Patent: January 4, 2000Assignee: Medical Research CouncilInventors: Andrew David Griffiths, Kaspar Philipp Holliger, Ahuva Nissim, Igor Fisch, Gregory Paul Winter
