Research summary

This study developed bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE)-albumin fusion proteins with tunable FcRn affinity to extend serum half-life and enhance anti-tumor efficacy. Using a double-humanized HSA/hFcRn mouse model, the researchers demonstrated that optimizing albumin-FcRn binding affinity modulates BiTE pharmacokinetics and improves therapeutic outcomes in vivo.

Key outcome of the study

Tuning FcRn binding affinity in BiTE-albumin fusions allows programmable half-life extension, improving therapeutic window and anti-tumor responses.

Mouse model

Humanized double Knockin mouse model expressing human serum albumin (HSA) and human neonatal Fc receptor (hFcRn), developed by genOway (AlbuMus).
