Abstract
The present invention provides an artificially designed antibody molecule comprising four polypeptide chains, where each of the first polypeptide chain and the third polypeptide chain comprises an immunoglobulin light chain, and each of the second polypeptide chain and the fourth polypeptide chain comprises, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, an immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region, an immunoglobulin CH1 domain, a VHH, an immunoglobulin CH2 domain, an immunoglobulin CH3 domain, and optionally an immunoglobulin CH4 domain.The present invention also provides a polynucleotide encoding the antibody molecule, a vector comprising the polynucleotide, a host cell comprising the polynucleotide or the vector, an immunoconjugate and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody molecule, and use of the antibody molecule in the immunotherapy, prevention and/or diagnosis of diseases.
