  • Publication number: 20240092906
    Abstract: The present invention provides bispecific antigen-binding molecules having a monovalent arm specific to a first target antigen (e.g., a T cell antigen, such as CD3) and a bivalent arm specific for a second target antigen (e.g., a tumor antigen, such as HER2). Bispecific antigen-binding molecules are useful in the treatment of disorders, such as cancer (e.g., HER2-positive cancer). The invention also features methods of producing bispecific antigen-binding molecules, methods of treating disorders using bispecific antigen-binding molecules, and compositions including bispecific antigen-binding molecules.

  • Publication number: 20230357445
    Abstract: Described herein are methods for the efficient production of antibodies and other multimeric protein complexes (collectively referred to herein as heteromultimeric proteins) capable of specifically binding to more than one target. The targets may be, for example, different epitopes on a single molecule or located on different molecules. The methods combine efficient, high gene expression level, appropriate assembly, and ease of purification for the heteromultimeric proteins. The invention also provides methods of using these heteromultimeric proteins, and compositions, kits and articles of manufacture comprising these antibodies.
