- the present invention relates to an antibody targeting CD3 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, which has the ability to moderately activate T cells and can effectively reduce the release of cytokines.
- the invention also relates to multispecific antibodies targeting CD3 and additional antigens (such as tumor-associated antigens and/or immune checkpoint molecules), which are capable of efficiently and specifically killing target cells while significantly reducing cytokine release, with significantly improved safety.
- the present invention also relates to the use of the CD3-targeting antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, multispecific antibody or the composition comprising them in the treatment of diseases.
- CD3 is a protein complex and T cell co-receptor mainly expressed on T cells and involved in the activation of cytotoxic T cells (CD8+ naive T cells) and T helper cells (CD4+ naive T cells).
- CD3 consists of a CD3 ⁇ chain, a CD3 ⁇ chain and two CD3 ⁇ chains. These chains bind to the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the ⁇ chain (zeta chain) to generate activation signals in T lymphocytes.
- TCR T-cell receptor
