  • Publication number: 20220162342
    Abstract: Disclosed are a CH3 domain variant pair of an antibody, a method for preparing same, and a use thereof. A mutation is induced in the CH3 domain so as to improve a yield of forming a heterodimer heavy chain constant region of an antibody. The CH3 domain heterodimer forms a heterodimer heavy chain constant region with a high efficiency of 90 to 95% or more and also has outstanding heat stability. A heterodimer heavy chain constant region including the CH3 domain heterodimer can construct a bispecific monoclonal antibody which simultaneously recognizes two kinds of antigens. The CH3 domain heterodimer and the bispecific antibody or fusion protein of an antibody constant region comprising same can be usefully applied to the treatment or prevention of a disease associated with a target antigen or a target protein.

  • Patent number: 11155639
    Abstract: A method for evaluating and screening a mutant inducing the high-efficiency formation of heterodimers from a human antibody heavy chain constant region mutant pair combination library in order to increase the yield of formation of human antibody heterodimeric heavy chain constant regions. A heterodimeric heavy chain constant region (heterodimeric F) library is obtained by the method. A CH3 domain mutant pair, in which the formation of the heterodimeric heavy chain constant regions is preferred in the library, forms heterodimeric heavy chain constant regions at a high yield of at least 80-90%, and also has excellent thermal stability and retains binding ability to the heavy chain constant region receptor (FcRn).
