Publication number: 20250034250Abstract: Anti-CD33 antibodies are described. The anti-CD33 antibodies can bind within the V-set Ig-like domain or the C2-set Ig-like domain of CD33. Epitopes on the C2-set Ig-like domain can provide a “pan-binding” site, to which the cognate antibody will bind regardless of whether the CD33 molecule also contains the V-set domain (as in, for example, CD33FL) or not (as in, for example, CD33?E2). Alternative epitopes on the C2-set Ig-like domain are accessible for binding if the V-set domain is absent (e.g., as in CD33?E2). Antibodies that bind an epitope on the C2-set Ig-like domain (whether they exhibit pan or V-set absent binding) are directed at novel therapeutic targets and can increase therapeutic efficacy against CD33-related disorders. Also described are molecules comprising a binding-competent domain from at least one described anti-CD33 antibody, including scFvs, bi-specific antibody molecules, chimeric antigen receptors, and immunoconjugates. Methods of use are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: Fred Hutchinson Cancer CenterInventors: Roland B.
