Abstract

The present invention relates to FcRH5 binding domains. In particular, the invention provides single domain antibodies, antibody conjugates, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and immune cell engagers which comprise such binding domains.

Claims (959)

1 . A single domain antibody (sdAb) comprising a FcRH5 binding domain.

2 . The sdAb according to claim 1 wherein the FcRH5 binding domain comprises:
