  • Publication number: 20240010725
    Abstract: The disclosure provides multispecific antigen-binding molecules that comprise a first antigen-binding moiety and a second antigen-binding moiety, each of which is capable of binding to CD3 and CD137, but does not bind to CD3 and CD137 at the same time; and a third antigen-binding moiety that is capable of binding to DLL3, preferably human DLL3, which induce T-cell dependent cytotoxity more efficiently whilst circumventing adverse toxicity concerns or side effects that other multispecific antigen-binding molecules may have. The present invention provides multispecific antigen-binding molecules and pharmaceutical compositions that can treat various cancers, especially those associated with DLL3, by comprising the antigen-binding molecule as an active ingredient.

  • Publication number: 20230147840
    Abstract: An antigen-binding molecule comprising a first antigen-binding moiety that is capable of binding to CD3 and CD137 (4-1BB), but does not bind to CD3 and CD137 at the same time (i.e. dual-binding to CD3 and CD137 but not simultaneously); and a second antigen-binding moiety capable of binding to a molecule specifically expressed in a cancer tissue, specifically Glypican-3 (GPC3) is provided. Due to the dual binding to CD3 and CD137 but not simultaneously and with fine-tuned binding kinetics, and the binding to GPC3, the multispecific antigen-binding molecule express strong cytotoxic activity for cancer cells with reduced adverse effects. Further, by adapting antibody engineering technologies and a molecular format design (including charged mutations in the framework region and/or constant region, VH/VL exchanged, and Fc region selection), the multispecific antigen-binding molecule with favorable stability, manufacturability/producibility and structural homogeneity is provided.

  • Publication number: 20210231654
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for detecting a complex with low affinity, under conditions in which the binding equilibrium of the complex is substantially maintained, and methods for measuring the concentration and/or amount of the complex. The invention also provides methods for evaluating the kinetics of a complex and methods for deciding on a therapeutic method that uses a pharmaceutical agent, based on the concentration and/or amount of the complex determined by the above-mentioned measurement method.

  • Publication number: 20210190764
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for measuring a cellular uptake amount of a molecule, comprising (i) adding the molecule to an organ-derived cell population to perform incubation, (ii) sorting the organ-derived cell population based on the expression levels of CD31 and CD45, and (iii) after steps (i) and (ii), measuring the amount of the molecule incorporated into the cell population sorted in the step (ii), wherein the molecule is incorporated into cells via a cell surface receptor.
