MODIFIED ANTIGEN-BINDING MOLECULES WITH CHANGED CELL SIGNAL ACTIVITY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC C07K16/28 C12N15/13 C12N15/63 A61K39/395 A61P35/00 A61P37/00 

FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to immunology. Presented are variants of anti-CD20 modified antibody or its antigen-binding fragment. Each of the variants is characterised by the fact that it contains a variable light and heavy chain domain, and induces a higher apoptosis level as compared to anti-B-Ly1 chimeric antibody. There are presented: a mixture of antibodies, wherein at least 20% of oligosaccharides in Fc domain have a branched chain and are not fucosylated, as well as a pharmaceutical composition for producing a therapeutic agent for a malignant haematological or autoimmune disease by using the antibodies or the mixture of antibodies. Described are: an expression vector, a based host cell, variants of coding polynucleotides, as well as a method for producing the antibody in the cell.

EFFECT: using these inventions provides the new antibodies with the improved therapeutic properties, including with increased binding of Fc receptor, and with the increased effector function that can find application for treating the malignant haematological or autoimmune disease.
