Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present application relates to optimized IgG immunoglobulin variants, engineering methods for their generation, and their application, particularly for therapeutic purposes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A polypeptide comprising an Fc variant of a human IgG Fc polypeptide, wherein said Fc variant comprises a serine at position 434, and wherein numbering is according to the EU index in Kabat et al. 2. A polypeptide comprising an Fc variant according to claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide is an antibody. 3. A polypeptide according to claim 2 , wherein said polypeptide comprising an Fc variant has specificity for a target molecule that is selected from the group consisting of a cytokine, a soluble protein factor, and a protein expressed on cancer cells. 4. An antibody according to claim 2 , wherein said antibody is selected from the group consisting of a chimeric antibody, a humanized antibody, or a human antibody. 5. A polypeptide comprising an Fc variant according to claim 1 , wherein said polypeptide is an Fc fusion. 6. A method of producing a polypeptide comprising an Fc variant according to claim 1 , said method comprising providing a cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding said polypeptide, wherein said cell is cultured under conditions suitable for expression of said polypeptide. 7. A method according to claim 6 , wherein said nucleic acid is contained in an expression vector. 8. A host cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide comprising an Fc variant according to claim 1 . 9. An expression vector, wherein said expression vector encodes a polypeptide comprising an Fc variant according to claim 1 .
