Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a binding molecule which is at least bispecific comprising a first and a second binding domain, wherein the first binding domain is capable of binding to epitope cluster 3 of BCMA, and the second binding domain is capable of binding to the T cell CD3 receptor complex. Moreover, the invention provides a nucleic acid sequence encoding the binding molecule, a vector comprising said nucleic acid sequence and a host cell transformed or transfected with said vector. Furthermore, the invention provides a process for the production of the binding molecule of the invention, a medical use of said binding molecule and a kit comprising said binding molecule.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An antibody comprising: a binding domain that binds to human CD3; and further a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 737 with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 amino acid substitutions and 0, 1, or 2 amino acid insertions or deletions to SEQ ID NOs: 731, 732 and/or 733 contained within SEQ ID NO: 737, and 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 amino acid substitutions and 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 amino acid insertions or deletions to the remainder of SEQ ID NO: 737. 2. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is human or humanized. 3. The antibody of claim 1 , further comprising an IgG framework. 4. The antibody of claim 1 , further comprising an Fc constant domain. 5. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein every amino acid substitution is a naturally occurring amino acid. 6. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the binding domain that binds to human CD3 is linked to the polypeptide via at least one disulfide bond. 7. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is human or humanized, and further comprises an Fc constant domain.
