  • Three-dimensional structure-based humanization method
    Patent number: 11680110
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for the humanization of non-human antibodies using a structure-based scoring matrix. With the scoring matrix it is possible to determine (the requirement for and) the suitability of specific (back)mutations of amino acid residues at defined positions of a selected human germline sequence. The scoring matrix takes into account the topology, the three-dimensional structure and the interactions of the respective residue and change. Thereby the influence on antigen binding of a specific amino acid residue change can be determined.

  • Polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex and its use in targeted effector moiety delivery
    Patent number: 11618790
    Abstract: Herein is reported a polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex as therapeutic agent and its use as tool for the targeted delivery of an effector moiety. The polynucleotide part of the complex is essentially resistant to proteolytic and enzymatic degradation in vivo. Additionally the polypeptide part specifically binds to a compound or structure such as a tissue or organ, a process or a disease. Thus, one aspect as reported herein is a polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex comprising a) a polypeptide specifically binding to a target and conjugated to a first member of a binding pair, b) a polynucleotide linker conjugated at its first terminus to the second member of the binding pair, and c) an effector moiety conjugated to a polynucleotide that is complementary to at least a part of the polynucleotide linker.
