The present invention is directed to multivalent DR5-Binding Molecules that comprise Binding Domain(s) of anti-DR5 antibodies, and particularly Binding Domain(s) of anti-human DR5 antibodies. The DR5-Binding Molecules of the present invention include bivalent and tetravalent molecules having two, three or four DR5-Binding Domains each capable of binding human DR5. In particular, the present invention is directed to multivalent DR5-Binding Molecules that comprise diabodies, and more particularly, diabodies that comprise a covalently bonded complex of two or more polypeptide chains. The invention particularly pertains to such multivalent DR5-Binding Molecules that comprise of the anti-DR5 antibodies DR5 mAb 1 and/or DR5 mAb 2, and/or humanized and chimeric versions of such antibodies.
A multivalent DR5-Binding Molecule that is a monospecific binding molecule, capable of binding to an epitope of human DR5, wherein said multivalent DR5-Binding Molecule comprises four antigen-binding domains each capable of binding human DR5, and wherein each of said antigen-binding domains comprise three Light Chain CDR Domains (CDRL1, CDRL2 and CDRL3) and three Heavy Chain CDR Domains (CDRH1, CDRH2 and CDRH3) wherein:
A multivalent DR5-binding molecule having a VL Domain comprising a CDRL1 Domain, a CDRL2 Domain, and a CDRL3 Domain, and a VH Domain comprising a CDRH1 Domain, a CDRH2 Domain and a CDRH3 Domain, wherein:
A multivalent DR5-Binding Molecule that is a bispecific binding molecule, capable of simultaneously binding to two different epitopes of human Death Receptor 5 (DR5), wherein said multivalent DR5-Binding Molecule comprises four antigen-binding domains each capable of binding human DR5, and wherein at least one of said antigen-binding domains comprises three Light Chain CDR Domains (CDRL1, CDRL2 and CDRL3) and three Heavy Chain CDR Domains (CDRH1, CDRH2 and CDRH3) wherein:
