Title:
MONOVALENT CD27 ANTIBODIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/140374
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a monovalent antibody, such as a Fab fragment, which is capable of specifically binding CD27 and reducing CD27 induced signalling. The present invention also relates to a fusion protein or conjugate comprising the monovalent antibody of the invention and a half-life extending moiety. The monovalent antibody, fusion protein or conjugate of the invention may be suitable for use as a medicament, such as in the treatment of autoimmune diseases in which suppression of CD27 signaling is desirable.
