  • Antigen binding molecules with increased Fc receptor binding affinity and effector function
    Publication number: 20090010921
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antigen binding molecules (ABMs). In particular embodiments, the present invention relates to recombinant monoclonal antibodies, including chimeric, primatized or humanized antibodies specific for human CD20. In addition, the present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding such ABMs, and vectors and host cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules. The invention further relates to methods for producing the ABMs of the invention, and to methods of using these ABMs in treatment of disease. In addition, the present invention relates to ABMs with modified glycosylation having improved therapeutic properties, including antibodies with increased Fc receptor binding and increased effector function.

  • Antigen binding molecules having modified Fc regions and altered binding to Fc receptors
    Publication number: 20070111281
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to antigen binding molecules, including antibodies, comprising a Fc region having one or more amino acid modifications, wherein the antigen binding molecule exhibits altered binding to one or more Fc receptors as a result of the modification(s). The invention is further directed to polynucleotides and vectors encoding such antigen binding molecules, to host cells comprising the same, to methods for making the antigen binding molecules of the invention, and to their use in the treatment of various diseases and disorders, e.g., cancers.
