  • Patent number: 10800825
    Abstract: A heterodimeric Fc-fused protein and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the heterodimeric Fc-fused protein are disclosed. The heterodimeric Fc-fused protein comprises first and second Fc regions of an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region (Fc) pair and in which IL-21 is bound to at least one of the N-terminus or the C-terminus of the first Fc region and/or the second Fc region, wherein CH3 domains of the first Fc region and the second Fc region are mutated such that the formation of a heterodimer is promoted. When the heterodimeric Fc-fused protein according to the present invention is used, an in vivo half-life of IL-21 included in the heterodimeric Fc-fused protein may be significantly increased.

  • Patent number: 10787487
    Abstract: Presented herein are cyclic peptides that specifically bind to a cell surface molecule, thereby allowing cell/tissue-specific targeting. The cyclic peptides can be attached to an agent, for example, a polypeptide such as an antibody, e.g., a cell-penetrating antibody. Cyclic peptide-containing cell/tissue-specific cell-penetrating antibodies described herein are capable of targeted delivery in a cell type-specific or tissue-specific (i.e., cell/tissue-specific) manner. The cell/tissue-specific cell-penetrating antibodies described herein can be used as an effective anticancer agent for cancer that overexpresses a cell membrane protein that specifically binds to the fused cyclic peptides.

  • Publication number: 20200276328
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting regulatory T cell immunosuppression, containing a fusion protein comprising a peptide that binds specifically to neuropilin 1 (NRP1). The fusion protein comprising the peptide that binds specifically to neuropilin 1 according to the present invention can reduce the proportion of regulatory T cells among CD4+ T cells in tumor tissue and inhibit the activity of regulatory T cells that infiltrated into tumor tissue, thereby down-regulating immunosuppression in the tumor tissue without causing systemic toxicity. Thus, the fusion protein can exhibit a high effect on tumor treatment.

A fusion protein, a fusion antibody, small-molecule drug, a nanoparticle, or a liposome, which comprises the peptide, and a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing cancer or angiogenesis-related diseases, and a composition for diagnosing cancer or angiogenesis-related diseases are provided. A polynucleotide encoding the peptide that binds specifically to NRP1 and a method for screening the peptide that binds specifically to NRP1 are provided. An antibody heavy-chain constant region Fc-fused peptide binding specifically to NRP1 has the property of binding specifically to NRP1, and thus when it is administered in vivo, it accumulates selectively in tumor tissue, and widens the intercellular space between tumor-associated endothelial cells to promote its extravasation and increases its tumor tissue penetration.
