  • Patent number: 11306139
    Abstract: The present invention relates to glycosylated immunoglobulin variable domains, and in particular to glycosylated immunoglobulin single variable domains (the latter also being referred to herein by means of the abbreviation “ISF” or “ISVD”). The present invention relates to glycosylated immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable domains (also referred to herein as “VH domains”), and in particular to glycosylated immunoglobulin heavy-chain ISVD's. The invention in particular relates to immunoglobulin (single) variable domains that are glycosylated in such a way that the binding of said immunoglobulin (single) variable domains by so-called “pre-existing antibodies” is prevented and/or reduced (i.e. partially or essentially completely) compared to the same immunoglobulin (single) variable domain without the glycosylation of the invention being present.
