Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an Fc variant which has improved half-life by binding to and unbinding from FcRn in a pH-dependent manner and which has improved selective binding to an Fc gamma receptor. Novel human antibody Fc domain variants of the present invention have lower capacity to bind to an immune inhibiting receptor FcγRⅡb and have higher capacity to bind to an immune activating receptor FcγRⅡa (increased A/I ratio) than a wild-type human antibody Fc domain and conventional antibodies approved as antibody therapeutic agents, thereby having remarkably improved ADCP induction ability and having maximized half-life in blood in which excellent pH-selective FcRn binding and unbinding capacity is exhibited. Accordingly, the novel human antibody Fc domain variants of the present invention can bind to numerous peptide drug therapeutics having a low half-life and retention time in the body so as to enable the peptide drug therapeutics to have an increased blood half-life and exhibit long-term drug efficacy, and can maximize the immune mechanism of therapeutic protein drugs so as to be effectively used as an improved antibody drug. 본 발명은 pH 의존적으로 FcRn에 결합 및 해리함으로써 반감기가 향상되고, Fc 감마 수용체에 대한 선택적 결합력이 향상된 Fc 변이체에 관한 것으로, 본 발명의 신규한 인간 항체 Fc 도메인 변이체들은 야생형 인간 항체 Fc 도메인 및 종래의 항체 치료제로서 승인받은 항체들보다도 면역 저해 수용체인 FcγRⅡb와의 결합력이 감소되고, 면역 활성화 수용체인 FcγRⅡa와의 결합력이 향상되어 (A/I 비율 증가), 현저히 향상된 ADCP 유도능을 가지며, 뛰어난 pH-선택적 FcRn 결합 및 해리 능력을 보이는 혈중 반감기가 극대화된 변이체이므로, 체내에서 낮은 반감기와 유지시간을 가진 수 많은 펩타이드 의약품 치료제에 결합하여 증가된 혈중 반감기로 장시간 약효 발휘가 가능하며, 치료용 단백질 의약품의 면역 작용 기작을 극대화할 수 있으므로 개선된 항체 의약품으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.
