Abstract: A PD-L1 mutant having improved binding affinity for PD-1 is disclosed. A method for preparing the PD-L1 variant and a method for screening the PD-L1 variant are also disclosed. The PD-L1 variant produced by substituting some amino acids in the sequence of wild-type PD-L1 with other optimal amino acids, achieving greatly improved affinity for PD-1. In addition, the possibility of immunogenicity can be reduced by the smallest possible number of the mutation sites.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a polypeptide including an Fc-gamma receptor mutant. The Fc-gamma receptor mutant of the present disclosure is optimized by substituting a part of an amino acid sequence of an Fc-gamma receptor with a different amino acid sequence, so as to provide an excellent selective binding ability to immunoglobulins. Therefore, it can be usefully used for increasing in vivo half-life of drugs, detecting and purifying immunoglobulins, inhibiting organ transplant rejections, or preventing or treating autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Methods and composition for the screening and isolation of aglycosylated antibody Fc domain polypeptides. For example, in certain aspects methods for identifying aglycosylated Fc domains that bind to Fc receptors or preferentially bind to particular Fc receptors are described. Furthermore, the invention provides aglycosylated Fc domains that bind to Fc receptors with high affinity. Enhanced methods and media for prokaryotic based interaction screening are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide including an Fc variant produced by substituting a portion of the amino acid sequence of the Fc domain of a human antibody with a different amino acid sequence. The present invention also relates to an antibody including the polypeptide. The Fc variant can find application in a wide range of antibodies and Fc-fusion constructs. In one aspect, the antibody or Fc fusion construct of the present invention is a therapeutic, diagnostic or laboratory reagent, preferably a therapeutic reagent. The Fc variant is suitable for use in the treatment of cancer because its in vivo half-life can be maximized by optimization of the portion of the amino acid sequence. The antibody or Fc fusion construct of the present invention is used to kill target cells that bear a target antigen, for example cancer cells. Alternatively, the antibody or Fc fusion construct of the present invention is used to block, antagonize or agonize a target antigen.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a polypeptide containing an Fc domain in which a part of an amino acid sequence of a human antibody Fc domain is substituted with another amino acid sequence, or an aglycosylated antibody containing the same. The Fc domain of the present disclosure is optimized by substituting a part of an amino acid sequence of a wild-type Fc domain with another amino acid sequence. Therefore, it is useful in treatment of cancer due to superior selective binding ability to Fc?RIIIa among Fc receptors, and can be prepared as a homogeneous aglycosylated antibody through bacterial culture.

Abstract: Methods and compositions involving polypeptides having an aglycosylated antibody Fc domain. In certain embodiments, polypeptides have an aglycosylated Fc domain that contains one or more substitutions compared to a native Fc domain. Additionally, some embodiments involve an Fc domain that is binds some Fc receptors but not others. For example, polypeptides are provided with an aglycosylated Fc domain that selectively binds Fc?RIIa, but that is significantly reduced for binding to the highly homologous Fc?RIIb receptors. Furthermore, methods and compositions are provided for promoting antibody-dependent cell-mediated toxicity (ADCC) using a polypeptide having a modified aglycosylated Fc domain and a second non-Fc binding domain, which can be an antigen binding region of an antibody or a non-antigen binding region. Some embodiments concern antibodies with such polypeptides, which may have the same or different non-Fc binding domain.
