Protease-activatable fc domain binding molecules
By binding molecules to the Fc domain, which is activated by proteases, and utilizing the protease cleavage linker to cleave the masked portion near tumor cells, specific binding to tumor antigens is achieved. This solves the problems of downregulation of tumor cell antigens and the presence of antigens in healthy tissues in existing technologies, thus improving the safety and efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.

AI Technical Summary
Existing innate immune cell binders can lead to target detumescence when faced with downregulation of tumor cell antigens and the presence of antigens of interest in healthy tissues, making it difficult to achieve effective cancer immunotherapy.
A protease-activated Fc domain binding molecule was designed to achieve specific binding to tumor antigens by cleaving the masked portion of the protease cleavage linker near the target cell, thereby exposing the masked portion. The molecule also recruits innate cells through the Fc domain to perform ADCC and/or ADCP.
It improves tumor specificity, reduces antigen escape, decreases toxicity to healthy tissues, and enhances the safety and efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.
