  • Patent number: 11248061
    Abstract: Provided herein are multivalent CD20-binding molecules, and compositions thereof, for use in selective killing of specific cell types and/or as therapeutics for the treatment of a variety of diseases, including cancer, tumors, and immune disorders. Certain multivalent CD20-binding molecules can be used to deliver agents into CD20-expressing cells, collecting diagnostic information, and/or monitoring the treatment of diseases, such as cancers, tumors, and immune disorders.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 11, 2016
    Date of Patent: February 15, 2022
