Bispecific antibody for human cgrp and pac1 receptors
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11919964B2) discloses a bispecific heterodimeric antibody designed to target the human CGRP receptor and the amino-terminal extracellular domain of the human PAC1 receptor. The antibody comprises specific sequences for the light and heavy chains from two different antibodies, with variations in amino acid substitutions to enhance its efficacy. The patent also covers methods for producing the antibody, isolated nucleic acids encoding it, expression vectors, host cells, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the antibody.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to the use of the bispecific heterodimeric antibody for inhibiting vasodilation in patients with headache conditions, particularly migraines and cluster headaches. It also describes a method for treating migraine headaches by administering the antibody to patients in need. The antibody's constant region is derived from IgG immunoglobulins, and specific sequences for the light and heavy chains are provided, along with amino acid substitutions to introduce charged amino acids for improved functionality. Overall, the patent covers a comprehensive range of aspects related to the development, production, and therapeutic applications of the bispecific heterodimeric antibody.
