Abstract: Provided in the present application are an antibody against factor XIa in the activated form of coagulant factor XI, a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. The CDR of the heavy chain variable region of the antigen-binding fragment of the antibody comprises the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NOs: 1-3, and the CDR of the light chain variable region thereof comprises the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NOs: 4-6. The antibody can specifically bind to FXIa but not to FXI, and has the effect of inhibiting the endogenous pathway of human coagulation without affecting the exogenous pathway thereof, which can significantly inhibit the formation of arteriovenous shunt thrombosis, but does not increase the bleeding time and volume. Same has the potential to become an antithrombotic drug.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to multispecific polypeptides that bind at least CD3, a second antigen, and a receptor of a T cell, such as a costimulatory receptor or an inhibitory receptor, in which the multispecific polypeptide constructs are able to engage CD3. In some embodiments, the multispecific polypeptide constructs bind a costimulatory receptor and provide costimulatory binding activity. In some embodiments, the multispecific polypeptide constructs bind an inhibitory receptor and block inhibitory activity. In some aspects, the multispecific polypeptides have constrained CD3 binding and bind to or engage CD3 only upon binding to the second antigen, such as a tumor associated antigen. In some embodiments, the multispecific polypeptides contain cleavable linkers that, when cleaved, result in dual effector functions. Also provided are methods of making and using these multispecific polypeptides in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.
