Methods of treatment using anti-CD3 antibodies
First Claim
1. A method of treating a patient having cancer or requiring immunosuppression comprising administering to said patient a therapeutically effective amount of an IgG antibody having a binding affinity for the CD3 antigen complex, wherein said antibody comprises:
- a heavy chain having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO;
20;
a human lambda light chain constant region; and
a light chain variable domain comprising three CDRs having the amino acid sequences SEQ ID NOS;
8, 10, and 12, and four framework regions having the amino acid sequences SEQ ID NOS;
35 26, 27, and 28,wherein alanine at amino acid 7 of SEQ ID NO;
35 is replaced with proline.

Abstract
An IgG antibody is provided having a binding affinity for the CD3 antigen complex in which in the heavy chain has a variable region framework together with at least one CDR selected from the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID No 2, 4 and 6 and respective conservatively modified variants thereof and the light chain has a variable region framework together with at least one CDR selected from the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID No 8, 10 and 12 and respective conservatively modified variants thereof
- characterised in that the heavy chain variable region framework corresponds in sequence to the human type sequence and the light chain variable region framework includes one or more of the specific amino acids characteristic of the rodent type sequence.
The novel antibody is capable of being expressed by mammalian cell expression systems at enhanced yields.
