Optimized Fc variants and methods for their generation
The present invention relates to optimized Fc variants, methods for their generation, and antibodies and Fc fusions comprising optimized Fc variants.
1. A protein comprising an Fc variant of a human parent IgG1 Fc polypeptide, said Fc variant comprising a first amino acid substitution at position 243 and a second amino acid substitution at position 264 in the Fc region of said parent Fc polypeptide, wherein numbering is according to the EU index.
2. The protein of claim 1 , wherein said protein is an Fc fusion.
3. The protein of claim 1 , wherein said protein is an antibody.
4. The protein of claim 3 , wherein said antibody is selected from the group consisting of a human antibody, a humanized antibody, and a monoclonal antibody.
5. The protein of claim 3 , where said antibody comprises an engineered glycoform.
6. The protein of claim 3 , wherein said antibody has specificity for a target antigen selected from the group consisting of CD19, CD20, CD22, CD30, CD33, CD40, CD40L, CD52, Her2/neu, EGFR, EpCAM, MUC1, GD3, CEA, CA 125, IgE, HLA-DR, TNFalpha, MUC18, prostate specific membrane antigen (PMSA) and VEGF.
7. The protein of claim 1 , wherein said protein is an Fc fusion or antibody with specificity for a target antigen Her2/neu.
8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the protein of claim 1 , further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
