Abstract

The present invention provides antigen-binding proteins capable of binding to NKp46 polypeptides. The antigen-binding proteins have increased activity in the treatment of disorders characterized by NKp46-expressing cells, particularly tumor cells.

Claims (14)

1. A nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids encoding an antibody, an antibody fragment, or a protein comprising said antibody fragment, said nucleic acid encoding an antibody or antibody fragment selected from the group consisting of:

(a) an antibody or antibody fragment comprising (i) a heavy chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 3 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 4;

(b) an antibody or antibody fragment comprising (i) a heavy chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 3 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 21;

(c) an antibody or antibody fragment comprising (i) a heavy chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 29 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 30;

(d) an antibody or antibody fragment comprising (i) a heavy chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 29 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 47; and

(e) an antibody or antibody fragment comprising (i) a heavy chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 55 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 56.

2. The nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids of claim 1 , said nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids encoding an antibody or antibody fragment comprising (i) a heavy chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 3 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 4.

3. The nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids of claim 1 , said nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids encoding an antibody or antibody fragment comprising (i) a heavy chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 3 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 21.

4. The nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids of claim 1 , said nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids encoding an antibody or antibody fragment comprising (i) a heavy chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 29 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 30.

5. The nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids of claim 1 , said nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids encoding an antibody or antibody fragment comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 29 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 47.

6. The nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids of claim 1 , said nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids encoding an antibody or antibody fragment comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 55 and (ii) a light chain comprising CDR 1, 2 and 3 of the light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 56.

7. The nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids of claim 1 , said nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids encoding a protein comprising said antibody fragment.

8. The nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids of claim 7 , said nucleic acid or set of nucleic acids encode a chimeric cell surface receptor protein comprising said antibody fragment.

9. A recombinant host cell comprising the nucleic acid of claim 1 .
