Patent granted for antibodies that bind human complement component c3
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11767359B2) discloses an isolated polynucleotide that encodes an antibody specifically designed to bind to human complement component C3. The antibody consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL), both of which have specific amino acid sequences. The VH region includes three complementarity determining regions (CDRs) - CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, while the VL region includes VL CDR1, VL CDR2, and VL CDR3. The amino acid sequences for these regions are provided in the patent.
The patent also describes various variations of the isolated polynucleotide, including different combinations of amino acid sequences for the CDRs. These variations allow for the customization of the antibody's binding properties. Additionally, the patent specifies that the antibody can be of different types, such as chimeric, humanized, bispecific, multispecific, Fab, Fab', F(ab'),2, Fv, scFv, (scFv)2, single chain antibody, dual variable region antibody, or diabody.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to the sequence identity of the VH and VL regions. It states that the VH region can have at least 80% or 90% sequence identity to the provided amino acid sequence, and the VL region can have at least 80% or 90% sequence identity. The patent also mentions that the antibody can be an IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4 antibody.
Overall, this patent presents an isolated polynucleotide encoding an antibody that specifically binds to human complement component C3. The patent provides various options for customizing the antibody's binding properties and describes different types of antibodies that can be generated using the disclosed polynucleotide.
