Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine and antibody engineering. Specifically, it relates to mono and multispecific multivalent single chain polypeptide molecules and derivatives thereof, preferably to multispecific single chain (tandem) trimerbodies with defined stoichiometry, to nucleic acid sequences and vectors encoding thereof, and host cells expressing the same. It further relates to methods of producing thereof, pharmaceutical compositions, kits, methods of treatment, use as diagnostics or imaging reagents and combination therapies using thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to tumor-targeted trimeric polypeptides based on the homotrimerization region from collagen XV or XVIII and which contain domains capable of specifically binding to and activating receptors of the TNFR family of costimulatory receptors as well as to the uses thereof in the treatment of cancer.
