Patent number: 11834693Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a fusion polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of interest. The method comprises the steps of providing a first polynucleotide and a second polynucleotide, and contacting said first polynucleotide and second polynucleotide with a type IIs restriction endonuclease and a ligase under conditions that allow for the cleavage of the first polynucleotide and second polynucleotide by said type IIs restriction endonuclease and the ligation of the resulting cleavage products, thereby producing the fusion polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of interest. The first polynucleotide comprises the 5? portion of an intron, and the second polynucleotide comprises the 3? portion of an intron. Further envisaged by the present invention is a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of interest, which, when transcribed in a eukaryotic host cell, is transcribed into a transcript comprising at least five introns which are heterologous to said polynucleotide.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: SANOFIInventors: Wulf Leuschner, Werner Dittrich, I, Joerg Birkenfeld, Marion Schneider

Publication number: 20230220079Abstract: Provided herein are trispecific and/or trivalent binding proteins comprising four polypeptide chains that form three antigen binding sites that specifically bind one or more target proteins, wherein a first pair of polypeptides forming the binding protein possess dual variable domains having a cross-over orientation, and wherein and a second pair of polypeptides possess a single variable domain forming a single antigen binding site. In some embodiments, the binding proteins comprise a binding site that binds a CD28 polypeptide, a binding site that binds a CD3 polypeptide, and a binding site that binds a third polypeptide, such as a tumor target protein. In some embodiments, the binding proteins comprise four polypeptide chains that form three antigen binding sites that specifically bind one or more HIV target proteins. The disclosure also relates to methods for making trispecific and/or trivalent binding proteins and uses of such binding proteins.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Christian BEIL, Jochen BENINGA, Joerg BIRKENFELD, Gary J.
