Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to optimized Fc variants, methods for their generation, and antibodies and Fc fusions comprising optimized Fc variants.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A protein comprising an Fc variant of a parent Fc polypeptide, said Fc variant comprising an amino acid substitution A330R in the Fc region, wherein said Fc variant exhibits decreased binding to FcγRIIIa as compared to the parent Fc polypeptide and wherein numbering is according to the EU index. 2. The protein according to claim 1 , where said protein is an antibody or immunoadhesin. 3. The protein according to claim 2 , where said protein is an antibody. 4. The protein according to claim 2 , where said protein is an immunoadhesin. 5. A nucleic acid encoding a protein according to claim 1 . 6. An expression vector comprising the nucleic acid of claim 5 . 7. A host cell comprising a nucleic acid according to claim 5 . 8. A method of making a protein comprising: a) culturing a host cell according to claim 7 under conditions wherein said protein is produced; and b) purifying said protein.
