Patents Assigned to Thomas Jefferson University and Health System, Innovation Pillar
  • Patent number: 11926652
    Abstract: Provided herein are recombinant CTLA-4 binding proteins, which are, inter alia, useful for the treatment of cancer. The recombinant proteins provided herein are, inter alia, capable of binding CTLA-4 proteins on a tumor cell. In a first aspect, there is provided a recombinant CTLA-4 binding protein including (i) a CTLA-4 binding domain; (ii) a CTLA-4 binding domain masking peptide; and (iii) a cleavable peptide linker connecting the CTLA-4 binding domain masking peptide to the CTLA-4 binding domain. In another aspect, there is provided a dimerizing domain covalently attached to the CTLA-4 binding domain, wherein the binding protein domains are bound together.
    Type: Grant
