Publication number: 20160108118Abstract: The present invention relates to a TNF-? (tumor necrosis factor-alpha)/CXCL-10 (C-X-C motif chemokine 10) double targeting antibody based on the IgG format. Specifically, it was verified that an antibody, in which scFv having a heavy chain variable domain and a light chain variable domain of the CXCL10 specific antibody links to the C-terminus of the heavy chain constant domain of the TNF-? specific antibody, is a bispecific antibody that effectively binds to both TNF-? and CXCL10, and thus the antibody can be useful as a double targeting antibody capable of identifying TNF-?/CXCL10. A composition of the present invention comprises a TNF-?/CXCL-10 double targeting antibody which effectively binds to both TNF-? and CXCL10. The double targeting antibody of the present invention has excellent TNF-? inhibitory activity and osteoclast differentiation inhibitory activity compared with the TNF-? or CXCL10 single targeting antibody.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2014Publication date: April 21, 2016Applicant: METABOLIC ENGINEERING LABORATORIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Heun-Soo Kang, So-Hyun Park, Yeong Wook Song, Ki Chul Shin, Eun Young Lee, Eun Bong Lee, Young Woo Park, Bum-Chan Park, Dong Hee Lee, Dong Jin Kim, Seon Ha Yun, Ke Se Lee, Hyun Ju Lee, Kyung Jin Kim, Hee Chan Kim, Seok Ho Yoo, Myeoung Hee Jang, Seil Jang
