A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11919956B2) discloses a heterodimeric antibody comprising two monomers, each with specific variable heavy and light domains forming PSMA binding domains. The first monomer includes a VH1-CH1-linker 1-scFv-linker 2-CH2-CH3 structure, while the second monomer consists of a VH2-CH1-hinge-CH2-CH3 configuration. Both monomers share a common light chain with variable light domains. The amino acid sequences of the variable heavy and light domains are specified in the claims, ensuring the unique composition and binding properties of the antibody.

Furthermore, the patent details the nucleic acid composition and expression vector composition necessary for producing the heterodimeric antibody. The nucleic acid composition includes three nucleic acids encoding the first and second monomers, along with the common light chains. These nucleic acids are incorporated into expression vectors, each in a separate vector, to facilitate the expression of the antibody. Finally, the patent covers the transformation of host cells with the expression vector composition, enabling the production of the heterodimeric antibody. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive disclosure of the antibody structure, nucleic acid sequences, and expression vector systems required for its production, emphasizing the novelty and utility of the invention in the field of antibody therapeutics.
