  • Patent number: 10906991
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ex vivo method for the generation of a bispecific antibody, comprising the steps of: a) providing a first antibody having a first binding specificity, wherein said first antibody comprises an IgG4-like CH3 region, b) providing a second antibody having a second binding specificity which differs from said first binding specificity, wherein said second antibody comprises an IgG4-like CH3 region, c) incubating said first and second antibodies together under reducing conditions which allow the cysteines in the core hinge region to undergo disulfide-bond isomerization, and d) obtaining a bispecific antibody. The invention furthermore relates to bispecific antibodies obtainable by the method of the invention.

  • Patent number: 10882913
    Abstract: The present invention relates to monospecific or bispecific antibody molecules that specifically bind the human DR5 antigen. The invention relates in particular to DR5-specific antibody molecules of the IgG1 isotype having a mutation in the Fc region that enhances clustering of IgG molecules after cell-surface antigen binding leading to the induction of DR5 signaling, apoptosis and cell death. The invention further relates to a combination of antibody molecules binding different epitopes on DR5. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing these molecules and the treatment of cancer using these compositions.

  • Patent number: 10703818
    Abstract: Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to and inhibit human CD25, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. The human antibodies can be produced by a hybridoma, a transfectoma or in a nonhuman transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, capable of producing multiple isotypes of human monoclonal antibodies by undergoing V-D-J recombination and isotype switching. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human antibodies, nonhuman transgenic animals, hybridomas and transfectomas which produce the human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the human antibodies.
