Patent number: 10927154Abstract: The disclosure provides a multi-specific polypeptide with a first moiety specific for a tumor-associated antigen on tumor cell surface and a second moiety specific for an immune checkpoint protein, which multi-specific polypeptide can be useful for biasing a T-cell-mediated response to a tumor micro-environment. For example, the polypeptide may contain: a) a first binding domain, for example, a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding domain of an antibody, specifically recognizing a tumor-associated antigen on tumor cell surface, and b) a second binding domain, such as a lipocalin mutein, capable of stimulating T-cell proliferation e.g., by inhibiting a protein receptor that down-regulates the immune system. The first binding domain may be genetically linked (i.e., peptide bond at its N- or C-terminus) to the second binding domain. The multispecific polypeptide also may contain a third or yet additional specific binding moieties, any of which can specifically bind a distinct immune checkpoint protein.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2015Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Pieris Pharmaceuticals GmbHInventors: Shane Olwill, Alexander Wiedenmann, Andrea Allersdorfer, Rachida Bel Aiba, Gabriele Matschiner, Bradley Lunde
