Hinge region. a proline-rich portion of an immunoglobulin heavy chain between the Fc and Fab regions that confers mobility on the two Fab arms of the antibody molecule thereby allowing it to combine better with the two epitopes.
The present inventors succeeded in improving the antibodyconstant region to have increased stability under acid conditions, reduced heterogeneity originated from disulfide bonds in the hinge region, reduced heterogeneity originated from the H chain C terminus, and increased stability at high concentrations as well as in discovering novel constant region sequences having reduced Fcγ receptor-binding, while minimizing the generation of novel T-cellepitope peptides. As a result, the present inventors successfully discovered antibody constant regions with improved physicochemical properties (stability and homogeneity), immunogenicity, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
