Patent number: 11866495Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant antigen-binding regions and antibodies and functional fragments containing such antigen-binding regions that are specific for human and Macaca fascicularis CEACAM6 (Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6, CD66c, Non-specific crossreacting antigen, NCA, NCA-50/90), and which do not significantly cross-react with the closely related human CEACAM1, human CEACAM3, and human CEACAM5. The invention further provides methods to generate this kind of antibodies. The antibodies, accordingly, can be used to treat cancer and other disorders and conditions associated with expression of the CEACAM6. The invention also provides nucleic acid sequences encoding the foregoing antibodies, vectors containing the same, pharmaceutical compositions and kits with instructions for use.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum Stiftung des öffentlichen RechtsInventors: Jörg Willuda, Mark Trautwein, Uwe Gritzan, Christoph Freiberg, Frank Dittmer, Dorian Schönfeld, Julian Marius Glück, Jessica Pinkert, Eva-Maria Gutierrez, Sven Golfier, Simon Holton, Philip Beckhove, Yingzi Ge

Publication number: 20230250178Abstract: The present invention relates to tools and methods for the generation of antibodies which specifically bind chemokine receptors, such as CC or CXC chemokine receptors. Provided are isolated sulfated polypeptides and conjugates thereof, which can be used for example as antigens or for off target panning to facilitate the generation of anti-human, anti-cynomolgus, and/or anti-mouse chemokine receptor antibodies, e.g. for the generation of antibodies with fully human CDRs and/or other favorable properties for therapeutic use. The present invention furthermore relates to antibodies and conjugates thereof which can be obtained by applying the aforementioned tools and methods. Provided are antibodies specifically binding to human, cynomolgus and/or murine CCR8 with favorable properties for therapeutic use, such as cross-reactive antibodies, fully human antibodies, low internalizing (including non-internalizing) antibodies, and antibodies efficiently inducing ADCC and/or ADCP in Treg cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Sandra BERNDT, Katharina FILARSKY, Philipp ELLINGER, Beatrix STELTE-LUDWIG, Sabine HOFF, Helge ROIDER, Ernst WEBER, Mark TRAUTWEIN, Christian VOTSMEIER, Nikolaus PAWLOWSKI, Uwe GRITZAN, Pascale BUCHMANN, Christian BERTLING, Oliver VON AHSEN, Wiebke Maria NADLER, Su-Yi TSENG, Pedro PAZ, Phaik Lyn OH, Patrick JONES, Matyas GORJANACZ
