  • Publication number: 20140154253
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are isolated multi-specific heteromultimer constructs that bind to CD3 expressed on T-cells and to an antigen expressed on B-cells. The multi-specific heteromultimer constructs are capable of bridging T- and B-cells and mediating killing of B-cells. The multi-specific heteromultimer constructs are based on a heterodimeric Fc scaffold or on a segmented albumin scaffold. Also disclosed herein are multi-specific heteromultimer constructs that bind to HER2 and HER3.

  • Publication number: 20140072581
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an isolated immunoglobulin construct comprising a first monomeric polypeptide comprising a first single chain Fv polypeptide connected to a first constant domain polypeptide; and a second monomeric polypeptide comprising a second single chain Fv polypeptide, connected to a second constant domain polypeptide; each said constant domain polypeptide comprising at least one each of a CL domain, a CH1 domain, a CH2 domain and a CH3 domain or fragments, variants or derivatives thereof; and wherein said first and second constant domain polypeptide form a Fc region.

  • Publication number: 20140066378
    Abstract: Provided herein are multifunctional heteromultimer proteins. In specific embodiments is a heteromultimer comprising: at least two polypeptide constructs, each polypeptide construct comprising at least one cargo polypeptide attached to a transporter polypeptide, said transporter polypeptides derived from a monomeric native protein such that said monomeric constructs associate to form the heteromultimer and said transporter polypeptides associate to form a quasi-native structure of the monomeric native protein or analog thereof. These therapeutically novel molecules encompass heteromultimers comprising constructs that function as scaffolds for the conjugation or fusion of therapeutic molecular entities (cargo polypeptides) resulting in the creation of bispecific or multivalent molecular species. Provided herein is a method for creation of bispecific or multivalent molecular species.

  • Publication number: 20140051835
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process and methods for producing asymmetric antibodies in a mammalian expression system. The asymmetric antibodies are transiently or stably expressed and in cells that stably express the asymmetric antibody, following a rapid 2-step process of stable pool to clone, a highly pure asymmetric antibody expressing clone can be identified at a success frequency that permits for screening of tens of clones rather than thousands. The asymmetric antibodies are produced at a high titre and with a high level of purity with no contaminating homodimer antibodies following protein A purification with a step yield of near 100%. Typical downstream purification processes employ standard hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and/or cation exchange (CEX) resins and the antibody is stable within a wide dynamic range of buffer pH (4-8) and within the requirements for manufacturing antibodies for pre-clinical and clinical applications.

  • Publication number: 20130336973
    Abstract: Provided herein are isolated heteromultimers comprising: at least one single domain antigen-binding construct attached to at least one monomer of a heterodimer Fc region; wherein the heterodimer Fc region comprises a variant CH3 domain comprising amino acid mutations that promote the formation of said heterodimer with stability comparable to that of a native Fc homodimer; and wherein said isolated heteromultimer is devoid of immunoglobulin light chains and optionally devoid of immunoglobulin CH1 region. These novel molecules comprise complexes of heterogeneous components designed to alter the natural way antibodies behave and that find use in therapeutics.

  • Publication number: 20120244577
    Abstract: Provided herein are multifunctional heteromer proteins. In specific embodiments is a heteromultimer that comprises: at least two monomeric proteins, wherein each monomeric protein comprises at least one cargo polypeptide, attached to a transporter polypeptide, such that said monomeric proteins associate to form the heteromultimer. These therapeutically novel molecules comprise monomers that function as scaffolds for the conjugation or fusion of therapeutic molecular entities resulting in the creation of bispecific or multivalent molecular species.

  • Publication number: 20120149876
    Abstract: The provided scaffolds have heavy chains that are asymmetric in the various domains (e.g. CH2 and CH3) to accomplish selectivity between the various Fc receptors involved in modulating effector function, beyond those achievable with a natural homodimeric (symmetric) Fc molecule, and increased stability and purity of the resulting variant Fc heterodimers. These novel molecules comprise complexes of heterogeneous components designed to alter the natural way antibodies behave and that find use in therapeutics.
