Abstract: The present invention relates to new proteins that bind to MMP9 and comprise at least one fragment of a heavy chain variable region and/or at least one fragment of a light chain variable region of an antibody. In particular, the MMP9 binding proteins according to the invention are able to neutralize MMP9 activity and are useful in the prevention and/or treatment of inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases or cancers. In particular, the MMP9 binding proteins according to the invention are useful in diagnosis of MMP9-related disorders.

Abstract: Disclosed are processes for producing a variant polypeptide (e.g. antibodies) having modified binding characteristics for human Fc gamma receptor IIA (CD32A) leading to increased inhibition of proinflammatory mediators while retaining binding to a target antigen via its Fv portion, which processes comprise altering the polypeptides by substitution of at least two amino acid residues at EU position 325, 326 or 328 of a human IgG CH2 region for a sequence selected from SAAF, SKAF, NAAF and NKAF. Also disclosed are molecules, particularly polypeptides, more particularly immunoglobulins (e.g. antibodies) that include a variant CDR3 region, wherein the variant CDR3 region includes at least one amino acid modified relative to a wild-type CDR3 region. The polypeptides that can be generated according to the methods of the invention are highly variable, and they can include antibodies and fusion proteins that contain an Fc region or a biologically active portion thereof.
