  • Patent number: 11639388
    Abstract: Provided in the present application is a humanized and multifunctional CD3 antibody; a heavy chain variable region of the CD3 antibody comprised herein contains the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-3 or a variant sequence thereof; and a light chain variable region thereof contains the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 26-28 or a variant sequence thereof. Further provided in the present application is a multifunctional antibody comprising (a) a light chain-heavy chain pair that has specificity for tumor cells or microorganisms; and (b) a fusion peptide that comprises a single-chain variable fragment and an Fc fragment having a CH2 domain and/or a CH3 domain, the fusion peptide having specificity for immune cells. The antibodies provided in the present application have improved biological activity, thermal stability and/or acid resistance.

  • Publication number: 20220098307
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a modified Fc fragment, antibodies containing the same and the use thereof. The Fc fragment is derived from human IgG1, and the constant region CH2 domain of the Fc fragment contains multiple substitutions. Such substitution can significantly reduce the binding ability of Fc fragment to Fc? receptors (Fc?R), and reduce the non-specific activation of T cells by antibodies (such as anti-CD3 antibodies).
