  • Publication number: 20240076378
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are polypeptides, and methods of making and using such polypeptides, that comprise a bispecific antibody construct covalently linked to an extended recombinant polypeptide comprising a barcode fragment releasable from said polypeptide upon digestion by a protease, and a Release Segment that can be proteolytically cleaved wherein said cleavage releases the bispecific antibody construct from the extended recombinant polypeptide.

  • Publication number: 20210388063
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods of generating antibody libraries, antibody libraries produced using such methods, and variant antibodies. Presently, methods of improving antibody binding (affinity maturation assays) require the screening of vast libraries of antibody variants (often >1010) to identify a small fraction of variants with improved characteristics. The present invention involves taking the nucleotide sequence of the framework and complementarity determining region of a target antibody and identifying motifs which would be recognised by deamination somatic hypermutation enzymes. A small library of variants is then created which incorporate one or more of these mutations. It was found that a relatively high proportion of the variants have an increased affinity. The technique of the present invention was demonstrated on the trastuzumab and Cathepsin S antibodies, and the variants produced are also claimed.
