20100203590 | ANTIBODIES THAT BIND INTERLEUKIN-4 RECEPTOR - The present invention relates to antibodies that bind to the IL-4 receptor, fragments, muteins, and derivatives of such antibodies, nucleic acids encoding such antibodies, fragments, muteins and derivatives, and methods of making and using such antibodies, fragments, muteins, derivatives and nucleic acids. Methods for treating medical conditions induced by interleukin-4 involve administering an IL-4 receptor binding antibody, or an IL-4 receptor binding fragment, mutein, or derivative of an IL-4 receptor binding antibody, to a patient afflicted with such a condition. Particular antibodies provided herein include human monoclonal antibodies. Certain of the antibodies inhibit both IL-4-induced and IL-13-induced biological activities. | 08-12-2010 |
20110081361 | ANTIBODIES THAT BIND INTERLEUKIN-4 RECEPTOR - The present invention relates to antibodies that bind to the IL-4 receptor, fragments, muteins, and derivatives of such antibodies, nucleic acids encoding such antibodies, fragments, muteins and derivatives, and methods of making and using such antibodies, fragments, muteins, derivatives and nucleic acids. Methods for treating medical conditions induced by interleukin-4 involve administering an IL-4 receptor binding antibody, or an IL-4 receptor binding fragment, mutein, or derivative of an IL-4 receptor binding antibody, to a patient afflicted with such a condition. Particular antibodies provided herein include human monoclonal antibodies. Certain of the antibodies inhibit both IL-4-induced and IL-13-induced biological activities. | 04-07-2011 |
20120039880 | FRAGMENTATION RESISTANT IgG1 Fc-CONJUGATES - The present invention provides compositions and methods relating to human IgG1 and IgG3 Fc-conjugates which are resistant to free-radical mediated fragmentation and aggregation. The present invention also provides compositions and methods for making the Fc-conjugates of the invention. | 02-16-2012 |
20120116057 | DESIGN OF STABLE AND AGGREGATION FREE ANTIBODY FC MOLECULES THROUGH CH3 DOMAIN INTERFACE ENGINEERING - The present invention relates to methods of increasing stability and reducing aggregation in compositions comprising antibody Fc molecules and to composition comprising such molecules. Certain amino acid substitutions in the CH3 domain result in increased stability and reduced aggregation of compositions containing polypeptides comprising a CH3 domain, e.g., an antibody or Fc-fusion protein. | 05-10-2012 |
20120244578 | MONOMERIC ANTIBODY FC - The invention relates to monomeric Fc polypeptides and methods of making and using such polypeptides. The polypeptides comprise substitution of one or more hydrophobic interface residues in the CH3 region with a polar amino acid. | 09-27-2012 |
20120321626 | MULTI-SPECIFIC FAB FUSION PROTEINS AND METHODS OF USE - The present disclosure relates generally to multi-specific Fab fusion proteins (MSFP) which comprise an antibody Fab fragment with both N-termini fused to a fusion moiety (fusion moiety A or B). MSFP containing the Fab fragment exhibit significantly reduced binding ability of the Fab fragment to the Fab target. Binding of the Fab to its target is restored when the MSFP is clustered on a cell surface by binding of the fusion moieties to their target. The reduced binding of the Fab to its target, especially when presented on a cell surface in its native state, absent fusion moiety binding provides advantages such as: reduced side effects and allows desirable pharmacological effects of selectivity and specificity in a controlled manner. | 12-20-2012 |
20130115215 | DOMAIN INSERTION IMMUNOGLOBULIN - Described herein is an antibody format, which is amenable to bispecific antibody creation. This format is referred to herein as “Domain Insertion Immunoglobulin G” or “(Di-IgG)”. The Di-IgG molecules are capable of specifically binding two different antigens simultaneously, show high level recombinant expression, and are sufficiently aggregation-free to be amenable to commercial production. Further described herein are, Di-IgG-encoding nucleic acids and vectors, host cells for making Di-IgGs, Di-IgG pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treatment. | 05-09-2013 |
20150056206 | MULTI-SPECIFIC FAB FUSION PROTEINS AND METHODS OF USE - The present disclosure relates generally to multi-specific Fab fusion proteins (MSFP) which comprise an antibody Fab fragment with both N-termini fused to a fusion moiety (fusion moiety A or B).
