  • Publication number: 20240132626
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to Fab-based antibody-like binding proteins comprising three antigen-binding domains that specifically bind one or more target proteins, wherein the antibody domain interfaces are engineered so that they readily self-assemble. The disclosure also provides methods for making trispecific binding proteins and uses of such binding proteins.

  • Publication number: 20190211115
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for producing Fabs and bi-specific antibodies comprising designed residues in the interfaces of the heavy chain-light chain variable (VH/VL) domain and the heavy chain-light chain constant (CH/CL) domain, Fabs and bi-specific antibodies produced according to said processes and host cells encoding the same.

  • Publication number: 20090087478
    Abstract: The invention provides antibodies with superior therapeutic efficacy and related methods of engineering such antibodies to increase their stability and resistance to proteases, e.g., in the digestive tract. Protease cleavage motifs are identified and subsequently modified to reduce or eliminate cleavage at that site. Methods of employing these orally deliverable antibodies as therapeutic compositions, particularly against gastrointestinal pathogens are also provided herein. In one aspect, the invention provides combinations of monoclonal antibodies, e.g., “synthetic polyclonals,” that work synergistically to neutralize bacterial toxins, particularly enteric bacterial toxins such as Clostridium difficile toxin A.
