Publication number: 20230250178Abstract: The present invention relates to tools and methods for the generation of antibodies which specifically bind chemokine receptors, such as CC or CXC chemokine receptors. Provided are isolated sulfated polypeptides and conjugates thereof, which can be used for example as antigens or for off target panning to facilitate the generation of anti-human, anti-cynomolgus, and/or anti-mouse chemokine receptor antibodies, e.g. for the generation of antibodies with fully human CDRs and/or other favorable properties for therapeutic use. The present invention furthermore relates to antibodies and conjugates thereof which can be obtained by applying the aforementioned tools and methods. Provided are antibodies specifically binding to human, cynomolgus and/or murine CCR8 with favorable properties for therapeutic use, such as cross-reactive antibodies, fully human antibodies, low internalizing (including non-internalizing) antibodies, and antibodies efficiently inducing ADCC and/or ADCP in Treg cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Sandra BERNDT, Katharina FILARSKY, Philipp ELLINGER, Beatrix STELTE-LUDWIG, Sabine HOFF, Helge ROIDER, Ernst WEBER, Mark TRAUTWEIN, Christian VOTSMEIER, Nikolaus PAWLOWSKI, Uwe GRITZAN, Pascale BUCHMANN, Christian BERTLING, Oliver VON AHSEN, Wiebke Maria NADLER, Su-Yi TSENG, Pedro PAZ, Phaik Lyn OH, Patrick JONES, Matyas GORJANACZ
