Reported herein is, inter alia, a method for producing a trivalent
bispecific antibody, the method comprising the steps of culturing a
mammalian cell comprising a deoxyribonucleic acid encoding the trivalent
bispecific antibody, and recovering the trivalent
bispecific antibody from the
cell or culture medium, wherein the deoxyribonucleic acid encoding the trivalent bispecific
antibody is stably integrated into the
genome of the
mammalian cell and comprises in the 5' to 3' direction a first
expression cassette encoding a first
heavy chain, a second
expression cassette encoding the first
heavy chain, a third
expression cassette encoding a
first light chain, a fourth expression cassette encoding the
first light chain, a fifth expression cassette encoding the second
heavy chain, a sixth expression cassette encoding the
first light chain or the second heavy chain or the second light chain, and a seventh expression cassette encoding the second light chain, wherein the first heavy chain The chain comprises, from N-terminus to C-terminus, a first heavy chain
variable domain, a CH1 domain, a
hinge region, a CH2 domain, a CH3 domain,
a peptide linker, a second heavy chain
variable domain and a CL domain, the second heavy chain comprises, from N-terminus to C-terminus, a first heavy chain
variable domain, a CH1 domain, a
hinge region, a CH2 domain and a CH3 domain, the first light chain comprises, from N-terminus to C-terminus, a first light chain variable domain and a CH1 domain, and the second light chain comprises, from N-terminus to C-terminus, a second light chain variable domain and a CL domain, wherein the second heavy chain variable domain and the first light chain variable domain form a first
binding site, and the first heavy chain variable domain and the second light chain variable domain form a second
binding site.
