20100009863METHOD FOR ENGINEERING T-CELL RECEPTORS - The present invention provides a method for engineering a T-cell receptor domain polypeptide comprising at least one modification in a structural loop region of said T-cell receptor domain polypeptide and determining the binding of said T-cell receptor domain polypeptide to an epitope of an antigen, wherein the unmodified T-cell receptor domain polypeptide does not significantly bind to said epitope, comprising the steps of providing a nucleic acid encoding a T-cell receptor domain polypeptide comprising at least one structural loop region, modifying at least one nucleotide residue of at least one of said structural loop regions, transferring said modified nucleic acid in an expression system, expressing said modified T-cell receptor domain polypeptide, contacting the expressed modified T-cell receptor domain polypeptide with said epitope and determining whether said modified T-cell receptor domain polypeptide binds to said epitope. The present invention also covers modified T cell receptor domain polypeptides obtained by said method and their use and libraries containing said modified T cell receptor domain polypeptides.01-14-2010
20100029497METHOD FOR ENGINEERING IMMUNOGLOBULINS - The present invention relates to a method for engineering an immunoglobulin comprising a variable domain and at least one modification in at least two structural loops of said immunoglobulin and determining the binding of said immunoglobulin to an epitope of an antigen, wherein the unmodified immunoglobulin does not significantly bind to said epitope, comprising the steps of: providing a nucleic acid encoding an immunoglobulin comprising at least two structural loops, modifying at least one nucleotide residue of each of said structural loops, transferring said modified nucleic acid in an expression System, expressing said modified immunoglobulin, contacting the expressed modified immunoglobulin with an epitope, and determining whether said modified immunoglobulin binds to said epitope, immunoglobulins produced by such a method and libraries of immunoglobulins.02-04-2010
20100048877NOVEL MULTIVALENT IMMUNOGLOBULINS - The present invention provides a multivalent immunoglobulin or part thereof binding specifically to at least two cell surface molecules of a single cell with at least one modification in at least one structural loop region of said immunoglobulin determining binding to an epitope of said cell surface molecules wherein the unmodified immunoglobulin does not significantly bind to said epitope, its use and methods for producing it.02-25-2010
20110046355CYTOTOXIC IMMUNOGLOBULIN - The invention relates to a cytotoxic modular antibody with a molecular weight of up to 6 OkD, specifically binding to a cell surface target with a binding affinity of Kd<1002-24-2011
