  • Publication number: 20230357431
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to activatable antigen binding receptors capable of specific binding to a mutated Fc domain. The antigen binding receptors of the invention are activatable through (a) protease(s). After activation, the antigen binding receptors are targeted to tumor cells by specifically binding to/interacting with the mutated Fc domain of therapeutic antibodies. The invention also relates to transduced immune cells expressing the antigen binding receptors of the invention and/or nucleic acid molecules encoding the antigen binding receptors of the present invention. Further provided are kits comprising such cells and/or nucleic acid molecules in combination with tumor targeting antibodies comprising a mutated Fc domain.

  • Patent number: 11547748
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to T-cells, such as CD8+ T-cells, CD4+ T-cells, CD3+ T-cells, ?? T-cells or natural killer (NK) T-cells, transfected/transduced with a fusion protein which is recruited by the use of trivalent, bispecific antibody molecule which specifically binds to/interacts with the extracellular domain of the fusion protein. More precisely, the present invention relates to a kit comprising the nucleic acid molecules, vectors and/or the fusion proteins of the present invention and the trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules of the present invention. Further aspects of the inventions are expression vectors comprising nucleic acid molecules encoding the fusion proteins as well as the trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules. Further, a process for the production of the trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules of the invention and a medicament/pharmaceutical composition comprising said trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules are described.

  • Publication number: 20200116727
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new cell-based assay for determining antigen expression in primary tumor samples. The method further relates to the determination of antigen and protease expression in primary tumor samples. The method allows robust determination of antigen and/or protease expression without the need to digest the tumor samples. The method further allows for selection of antibodies and for selection of protease-cleavable linkers for the treatment of tumors.
