Abstract:
The invention relates to multispecific antigen-binding proteins for engaging natural killer (NK) cells for triggering NK cell cytotoxicity by engaging the CD16A (FcγRIIIA) expressed on NK cells, wherein the antigen-binding protein comprises at least two CD16A antigen-binding moieties and at least a further target antigen-binding moiety. The CD16A antigen-binding moiety comprises light chain and heavy chain variable regions linked one after another in a polypeptide chain and the variable region at the N-terminus of the polypeptide chain comprising the CD16A antigen-binding moiety is a light chain variable region.
