Solution Overview

Problem

Current tumor immunotherapy methods lack bispecific antigen binding proteins that can effectively target both CD24 and 4-1BB to activate NK cells and macrophages for ADCC and ADCP effects, activate CD8+ T cells, kill regulatory T cells, and enhance anti-tumor responses.

Innovation Solution

Development of a bispecific antigen binding protein that specifically recognizes CD24 and 4-1BB, activating the 4-1BB signaling pathway, enhancing ADCC and ADCP effects on tumor cells, and promoting CD8+ T cell infiltration to overcome immunosuppression.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a bispecific antigen binding protein targeting both CD24 and 4-1BB is developed, then anti-tumor efficacy is improved through multiple mechanisms (ADCC, ADCP, T cell activation), but the complexity of the therapeutic agent increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-tumor efficacyVSAvoidtherapeutic agent complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two antibody specificities (anti-CD24 and anti-4-1BB) into a single bispecific antigen binding protein molecule. This merging allows the therapeutic agent to simultaneously engage multiple immune cell types (NK cells, macrophages, and T cells) through its dual binding capability, achieving enhanced anti-tumor efficacy through multiple mechanisms in one agent

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The bispecific antigen binding protein is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it can bind to CD24 on tumor cells to enable ADCC and ADCP effects, while also binding to 4-1BB to activate T cells and lift immunosuppression. This multi-functionality allows a single therapeutic agent to address multiple aspects of tumor immunity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If the bispecific antigen binding protein activates multiple immune mechanisms simultaneously, then the anti-tumor response is enhanced, but the mechanism of action becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-tumor responseVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the anti-tumor immune response into distinct functional domains within the bispecific protein structure. The anti-CD24 binding region facilitates ADCC and ADCP mechanisms by engaging Fc receptors on NK cells and macrophages, while the anti-4-1BB binding region independently activates T cells through costimulatory signaling. This segmentation allows each mechanism to operate through its dedicated binding interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
