Humanized antibodies binding cd40 for treatment of cd40-related diseases
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11926673B2) discloses a pharmaceutical composition that includes an antibody or antigen binding portion specifically targeting human CD40, along with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The antibody structure consists of a first polypeptide portion containing a heavy chain variable region and a human heavy chain constant region, and a second polypeptide portion comprising a light chain variable region and a human light chain constant region. Notably, the heavy chain variable region includes specific sequences (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3) and the light chain variable region also contains distinct sequences (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3).
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and mutations within the antibody structure, such as alterations in the human heavy chain constant region to reduce binding to specific receptors. The composition also encompasses different amino acid sequences for the heavy and light chain variable regions, along with options for humanization and linkage to therapeutic agents or additional functional moieties. The patent covers a range of possibilities for the antibody or antigen binding portion, including single-chain variable fragments (scFv-Fc) and the inclusion of extra moieties for enhanced functionality.
