Patents Assigned to Affimed GMBH
  • Publication number: 20240294647
    Abstract: The invention relates to multispecific antigen-binding proteins for engaging natural killer (NK) cells for triggering NK cell cytotoxicity by engaging the CD16A (Fc?RIIIA) expressed on NK cells, wherein the antigen-binding protein comprises at least two CD16A antigen-binding moieties and at least a further target antigen-binding moiety. The CD16A antigen-binding moiety comprises light chain and heavy chain variable regions linked one after another in a polypeptide chain and the variable region at the N-terminus of the polypeptide chain comprising the CD16A antigen-binding moiety is a light chain variable region.

  • Patent number: 9701750
    Abstract: The present invention relates to binding molecules that specifically bind to the human Fc gamma receptor expressed on the surface of natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages (i.e. Fc?RIIIA), and in particular binding molecules that specifically bind the A form Fc?RIII but do not bind to the B form of Fc?RIII, as well as to the use of such binding molecules in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The invention further extends to polynucleotides encoding such binding molecules, host cells comprising such polynucleotides and methods of producing binding molecules of the invention using such host cells.
