  • Patent number: 11542301
    Abstract: The present application addresses the problem of providing an Fc-binding protein having an improved antibody separation ability. The present application also addresses the problem of providing a high-accuracy antibody separation method using an insoluble carrier having the protein immobilized thereon. The problems can be solved by: an Fc-binding protein in which at least an amino acid substitution at a specific position therein occurs and which has reduced affinity for an antibody; and an antibody separation method including allowing an equilibration buffer solution to pass through a column in which an insoluble carrier having the protein immobilized thereon is filled to equilibrate the column, adding a solution containing an antibody to cause the adsorption of the antibody onto the carrier, and eluting the antibody adsorbed on the carrier using an elution solution.

  • Patent number: 11525009
    Abstract: Provided in the present invention is a bispecific antibody which comprises an anti-MUC1 VHH antibody fragment and an anti-CD16 VHH antibody fragment. The antibody fragment used in the present invention is a variable region sequence derived from a heavy chain camelid antibody and has a high binding affinity to the antigen. Antibody fragments recognizing MUC1 and CD16 are constructed in the same antibody molecule by the invention, so that the antibody molecule can specifically bind to MUC1 and CD16 molecules to promote the killing effect of NK cells on MUC1-positive expression cells and has an inhibiting effect on the growth of MUC1-positive tumors. Also provided is a conjugate of the bispecific antibodies, a related pharmaceutical composition and use.
