Solution Overview

Problem

Existing anti-CCR1 antibodies have not been developed as pharmaceuticals and lack sufficient performance as antibody pharmaceuticals for treating CCR1-related diseases.

Innovation Solution

A human CCR1 monoclonal antibody that binds to the extracellular region of CCR1 and inhibits activation by human CCL15, with specific CDR sequences for varying antibody variants, including chimeric, humanized, and human antibodies, and their fragments, used in therapeutic and diagnostic agents for CCR1-related diseases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing anti-CCR1 antibodies are used, then CCR1 binding is achieved, but insufficient performance as pharmaceuticals and lack of development as therapeutics occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepharmaceutical performanceVSAvoiddevelopment as therapeutic
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the antibody structure to achieve human IgG1 or IgG4 constant regions with specific isoelectric points (pI ≥ 4.0), thereby improving pharmaceutical performance and enabling therapeutic development while maintaining CCR1 binding capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If a monoclonal antibody is developed to bind human CCR1 and inhibit activation by human CCL15, then CCR1 activation inhibition is achieved, but complexity in antibody design and production increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCCR1 activation inhibitionVSAvoidantibody design and production
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the antibody into distinct functional components: variable regions (VL and VH) with specific CDR sequences for CCR1 binding, and constant regions (CL and CH) with controlled pI values for pharmaceutical performance, thereby achieving activation inhibition while managing design complexity through modular structure definition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of manufacture

If existing antibodies are used without further development, then simplicity in current state is maintained, but insufficient information on performance as antibody pharmaceuticals remains

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurrent antibody productionVSAvoidpharmaceutical performance data
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining specific antibody structures with controlled pI values and constant region types (IgG1 or IgG4) before pharmaceutical testing, thereby generating performance information in advance and reducing the loss of pharmaceutical data while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standardized designs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
