摘要:
The present invention concerns multimeric complexes based on antibody fusion proteins comprising an AD moiety attached to the C-terminal end of each antibody light chain. The complexes further comprise effector moities attached to DDD moieties. Two copies of the DDD moiety form a dimer that binds to the AD moiety. The complexes may be trimers, pentamers, hexamers or other multimers. The effector moieties may be selected from a second antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a cytokine, an interferon, a toxin, an antigen, a xenoantigen, a hapten, a protamine, a hormone, an enzyme, a ligand-binding protein, a pro-apoptotic agent and an anti-angiogenic agent. Surprisingly, attachment of the AD moiety to the C-terminal end of the antibody light chain results in improved pharmacokinetics and in vivo stability and efficacy, compared to homologous complexes wherein the AD moiety is attached to the antibody heavy chain.
