Patent granted for novel bispecific antibodies with unique fc regions
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11866514B2) discloses a novel heterodimeric antibody design. The antibody comprises two heavy chains, with each chain having a different Fc region derived from human IgG4. The first Fc region includes a specific CH3 region, while the second Fc region contains amino acid substitutions at positions 405 and 409. Notably, the sequences of the CH3 regions in the two heavy chains are distinct, allowing them to bind different epitopes. Additionally, the antibody includes two full-length light chains and a unique hinge region sequence, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic applications.
Furthermore, the patent covers the method for producing the heterodimeric antibody, involving the co-expression of nucleic acid constructs in a host cell to obtain the desired antibody. The process includes specific steps such as providing nucleic acid constructs for the heavy chains, expressing them in a host cell, and obtaining the heterodimeric antibody from the cell culture. The resulting antibody can be further modified by introducing additional nucleic acid constructs encoding light chains. The patent also extends to pharmaceutical compositions containing the heterodimeric antibody along with a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, emphasizing its potential for use in therapeutic formulations. Overall, the patent highlights a novel antibody design with unique features that could have significant implications in the field of biopharmaceuticals and targeted therapies.
