Claims152
A fusion protein comprising:
- one or more IgG2 hinge monomers;
- and
- one or more peptides, proteins, carbohydrates/sugars or small molecules
- wherein said one or more IgG2 hinge domains multimerizes said one or more peptides, proteins or small molecules into dimers or higher order multimers.
The method of claim 35, wherein the steroid is prednisolone, cortisone, mometesone, testosterone, estrogen, oxandrolone, fluticasone, budesonide, beclamethasone, albuterol, or levalbuterol.
A fusion protein comprising:
- one or more IgG2 hinge monomers;
- and
- one or more Fc domains, wherein said one or more Fc domains has been engineered to comprise an antigen binding site;
- wherein said one or more IgG2 hinge domains multimerizes said one or more peptides, proteins or small molecules into dimers or higher order multimers.
A fusion protein comprising:
- one or more IgG2 hinge monomers;
- and
- one or more antigen binding antibody variable domains, fragments or variants thereof;
- wherein said one or more IgG2 hinge domains multimerizes said one or more antigen binding antibody variable domains, fragments or variants thereof into dimers or higher order multimers.
