Abstract

Provided herein are albumin binding proteins and methods of making and using thereof.

Claims (12)

1 . A humanized albumin binding protein comprising: a VHH domain, the VHH domain comprising three complementarity determining regions (CDRs), CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 therein, each having an amino acid sequence, wherein:

(a) the amino acid sequence of CDR1 comprises SEQ ID NO: 104;

(b) the amino acid sequence of CDR2 comprises SEQ ID NO: 109; and

(c) the amino acid sequence of CDR3 comprises SEQ ID NO: 119.

2 . The humanized albumin binding protein of claim 1 , wherein the VHH domain has an amino acid sequence comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 137-140.

3 . The humanized albumin binding protein of claim 1 , further comprising an antigen represented by D2, wherein D2 is a binding protein or a non-antigen binding moiety, wherein D2 is linked to the humanized albumin binding protein of claim 1 according to a formula, from N-to-C terminus represented by: (a) D1-L-D2, or (b) D2-L-D1, wherein L is a peptide linker and D1 is the humanized albumin binding protein of claim 1 .

4 . The humanized albumin binding protein of claim 3 , wherein the peptide linker has an amino acid sequence comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 58-73.

5 . The humanized albumin binding protein of claim 3 , wherein D2 is selected from the group consisting of a single chain antibody or binding fragment thereof, an scFv, a bispecific scFv, a single heavy chain, a single light chain, a variable heavy-chain domain, a VHH, a variable light-chain domain, a variable NAR domain, a single chain polypeptide, a F(ab′), a F(ab′)2, a bi-specific F(ab′)2, a F(Ab′)3, a tri-specific F(Ab′) 3, an Fv, a designed ankyrin repeat protein, an Fc domain, an entire Fc, a modified Fc domain, an Fc domain with one or more substitutions relative to wild-type, an Fc fragment, a minibody, a diabody, a dAb fragment, an antibody, a monoclonal antibody, a multispecific binding protein, and a bispecific antibody.

6 . A humanized albumin binding protein comprising a VHH domain, wherein the VHH domain has an amino acid sequence comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 137-140.

7 . The humanized albumin binding protein of claim 6 , further comprising an antigen represented by D2, wherein D2 is a binding protein or a non-antigen binding moiety, wherein D2 is linked to the humanized albumin binding protein of claim 6 according to a formula, from N-to-C terminus represented by: (a) D1-L-D2, or (b) D2-L-D1, wherein L is a peptide linker and D1 is the humanized albumin binding protein of claim 6 .

8 . The humanized albumin binding protein of claim 7 , wherein the peptide linker has an amino acid sequence comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 58-73.

9 . The humanized albumin binding protein of claim 7 , wherein D2 is selected from the group consisting of a single chain antibody or binding fragment thereof, an scFv, a bispecific scFv, a single heavy chain, a single light chain, a variable heavy-chain domain, a VHH, a variable light-chain domain, a variable NAR domain, a single chain polypeptide, a F(ab′), a F(ab′)2, a bi-specific F(ab′)2, a F(Ab′)3, a tri-specific F(Ab′)3, an Fv, a designed ankyrin repeat protein, an Fc domain, an entire Fc, a modified Fc domain, an Fc domain with one or more substitutions relative to wild-type, an Fc fragment, a minibody, a diabody, a dAb fragment, an antibody, a monoclonal antibody, a multispecific binding protein, and a bispecific antibody.
