  • Publication number: 20210206847
    Abstract: An IgG1 Fc monomer, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof. Causing an Fc dimer of a novel IgG1 Fc monomer sequence for which an antibody IgG1 constant region is modified to become an Fc monomer by means of the modification on a human antibody IgG1 constant region Fc that uses antibody engineering technology, and maintaining an FcRn binding function; the present application has the feature of very low non-specific binding with unrelated proteins, and the main features of the Fc monomer comprise the T366, L368, P395, and K409 positions in a CH3 region of the constant region of the antibody having mutations, and the monomer being highly efficiently expressed in prokaryotic cells; the monomer may bind to FcRn by using a pH-dependent specific binding mode, and has the feature of very low non-specific binding.

  • Patent number: 10633447
    Abstract: Fc domains and CH3 domains are disclosed that bind the neonatal Fc (FcRn) receptor and are at least 99% monomeric. Monomeric Fc domain molecules and CH3 domain molecules are disclosed herein that include a monomeric Fc domain or a monomeric CH3 domain and an effector molecule. In some embodiments, the monomeric Fc or monomeric CH3 domain include amino acid substitutions and/or CDR insertions in the beta strands such that they specifically bind an antigen. Methods for using these monomeric Fc domains, monomeric CH3 domains, monomeric Fc domain molecules and CH3 domain molecules are also provided.
