Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to Fc variants with improved with improved half-life and selective binding force to Fc gamma receptors, by binding and dissociating to FcRn in a pH-dependent manner. Novel human antibody Fc domain variants of the present invention have a reduced binding force to FcγRⅡb, which is an immunoinhibitory receptor, compared with wild-type human antibody Fc domain and antibodies approved as conventional antibody therapeutic agents, an improved binding force to FcγRⅢa, which is an immunostimulatory receptor, (increased A/I ratio), and thus has remarkably improved ADCC-inducing ability and exhibit excellent pH-selective FcRn binding and dissociation abilities, so that the Fc variant may be combined to a number of peptide drugs with a low half-life and a maintenance time in the body to exhibit a long-term effect with a half-life in the blood, and may maximize the immune acting mechanism of protein drugs for treatment, and thus may be useful as improved antibody drugs. 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 FcγRⅢa와의 결합력이 향상되어 (A/I 비율 증가), 현저히 향상된 ADCC 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.
