(c) constant region domains.
10. The bispecific antibody or bispecific antibody fragment thereof of claim 9 , wherein a peptide linker links SEQ ID NO:1 to SEQ ID NO:3, and a peptide linker links SEQ ID NO:2 to SEQ ID NO:4.
11. The bispecific antibody or bispecific antibody fragment thereof of claim 10 , wherein said peptide linker has an amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:6.
12. The bispecific antibody or bispecific antibody fragment thereof of claim 11 , wherein said constant region domains consist of CH1, CH2, CH3 and CL.
13. The bispecific antibody or bispecific antibody fragment thereof of claim 9 , wherein said constant region domains consist of CH1, CH2, CH3 and CL.
14. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the bispecific antibody or bispecific antibody fragment thereof of claim 13 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
