A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11939388B2) discloses a nucleic acid or a set of nucleic acids encoding a multispecific antibody. The multispecific antibody comprises a first binding arm that binds to human CD40 and a second binding arm that binds to human CD137. The sequences of the heavy and light chain variable regions, including the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), are specified in the claims, providing a detailed description of the antibody structure.

Furthermore, the patent claims cover an expression vector comprising the nucleic acid encoding the multispecific antibody, as well as a host cell containing the expression vector. The host cell can be a recombinant eukaryotic, prokaryotic, or microbial cell. The claims also detail the sequences of the heavy and light chains, specifying the CDRs and framework sequences for both the first and second antigen-binding regions. Additionally, the patent includes information on the isotype of the heavy chains, with options for IgG subclasses. The claims further describe specific amino acid substitutions in the heavy chains, highlighting the uniqueness of the multispecific antibody's structure. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive overview of the nucleic acids, expression vectors, and host cells involved in producing the multispecific antibody with dual antigen-binding capabilities.
