Binding molecules with modified J-chain
The present invention concerns binding molecules that comprise an IgM, IgA, IgG/IgM or IgG/IgA antibody with a J-chain modified to include an AD-ME-modulating moiety, and their uses.
1. An IgM antibody comprising the HCDR1 of SEQ ID NO: 65, the HCDR2 of SEQ ID NO: 66, the HCDR3 of SEQ ID NO: 67, the LCDR1 of SEQ ID NO: 69, the LCDR2 of SEQ ID NO: 70, the LCDR3 of SEQ ID NO: 71, and a modified J-chain, wherein the modified J-chain comprises the mature peptide formed from SEQ ID NO: 102, and wherein the IgM antibody binds CD20.
2. The IgM antibody of claim 1 , wherein the IgM antibody comprises the VH of SEQ ID NO: 64.
3. The IgM antibody of claim 1 , wherein the IgM antibody comprises the VL of SEQ ID NO: 68.
4. The IgM antibody of claim 1 , wherein the IgM antibody comprises the VH of SEQ ID NO: 64 and the VL of SEQ ID NO: 68.
5. The IgM antibody of claim 1 , wherein the IgM antibody comprises the heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 82.
6. The IgM antibody of claim 1 , wherein the IgM antibody comprises the heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 84.
7. The IgM antibody of claim 1 , wherein the IgM antibody comprises the heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 82 and the light chain of SEQ ID NO: 84.
