A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11866514B2) discloses a novel heterodimeric antibody design. The patent claims a heterodimeric antibody comprising two heavy chains, with each chain having a different Fc region derived from human IgG4. The second Fc region includes specific amino acid substitutions at positions 405 and 409, distinct from the first Fc region. Additionally, both heavy chains contain a Cys-Pro-Pro-Cys sequence in the hinge region. The antibody further includes two full-length light chains and is of the human IgG4 isotype, except for the specified substitutions and hinge region. Notably, the first and second heavy chains bind different epitopes, enhancing the antibody's potential applications in targeted therapy.
Moreover, the patent covers the pharmaceutical compositions containing the heterodimeric antibody, emphasizing its therapeutic utility. The patent also details a method for obtaining the heterodimeric antibody, involving the co-expression of nucleic acid constructs in a host cell and subsequent isolation of the antibody from the cell culture. The method allows for the production of the antibody with specific characteristics, such as the presence of two full-length light chains and the unique amino acid substitutions in the Fc regions. The patent further extends to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the heterodimeric antibody and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, highlighting the potential for developing novel therapeutic interventions based on this innovative antibody design.
