First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide comprising an Fc variant of a wild-type parent Fc polypeptide, wherein said Fc variant comprises amino acid substitutions at positions 236 and 239 in the Fc region, wherein numbering is according to the EU index. 2. A nucleic acid encoding a heavy chain of an antibody comprising an Fc variant of a wild-type parent Fc polypeptide, wherein said Fc variant comprises amino acid substitutions at positions 236 and 239 in the Fc region, wherein numbering is according to the EU index. 3. The nucleic acid according to claim 2 , wherein the amino acid substitution at position 236 is 236A. 4. The nucleic acid according to claim 2 , wherein the amino acid substitution at position 239 is 239D. 5. The nucleic acid according to claim 2 , wherein said Fc variant comprises amino acid substitutions 236A/239D. 6. The nucleic acid according to claim 2 , wherein said Fc variant comprises amino acid substitutions 236A/239D/332E. 7. The nucleic acid according to claim 2 , wherein said parent Fc polypeptide is a human IgG1 Fc polypeptide. 8. The nucleic acid according to claim 2 , wherein said antibody is a monoclonal antibody. 9. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 2 . 10. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 5 . 11. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 6 . 12. A host cell comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 2 . 13. A host cell comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 5 . 14. A host cell comprising the nucleic acid according to claim 6 . 15. A host cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 9 . 16. A host cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 10 . 17. A host cell comprising the expression vector according to claim 11 . 18. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising: a) culturing the host cell according to claim 12 under conditions wherein said polypeptide is produced; and b) purifying said polypeptide. 19. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising: a) culturing the host cell according to claim 13 under conditions wherein said polypeptide is produced; and b) purifying said polypeptide. 20. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising: a) culturing the host cell according to claim 14 under conditions wherein said polypeptide is produced; and b) purifying said polypeptide. 21. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising: a) culturing the host cell according to claim 15 under conditions wherein said polypeptide is produced; and b) purifying said polypeptide. 22. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising: a) culturing the host cell according to claim 16 under conditions wherein said polypeptide is produced; and b) purifying said polypeptide. 23. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising: a) culturing the host cell according to claim 17 under conditions wherein said polypeptide is produced; and b) purifying said polypeptide.
