Antibodies binding human ccr8 for treating diseases
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11859000B2) discloses an antibody or antigen-binding portion that specifically binds to amino acids within the N-terminal extracellular domain of human CCR8. The antibody comprises various amino acid sequences for VH CDR1, VH CDR2, VH CDR3, VL CDR1, VL CDR2, and VL CDR3. The patent claims that the antibody is capable of enhancing an immune response to a tumor, reducing Treg cells, activating NK cells, binding to CCR8, inducing internalization of CCR8, and inducing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, among other functions.
Furthermore, the patent describes the antibody as a humanized or chimeric antibody, a single-chain variable fragment (scFv), a bispecific antibody, a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE), or a multispecific antibody. It also covers the use of the antibody in immunoconjugates, antibody-drug conjugates, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), and T cell receptors (TCRs). Additionally, the patent includes claims for nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibody, pharmaceutical compositions containing the antibody, methods of treating tumors using the antibody, and afucosylated antibodies targeting CCR8. The detailed amino acid sequences provided in the patent aim to protect the specific binding properties and therapeutic applications of the disclosed antibody.
