An affinity matured anti-CD22 human monoclonal antibody exhibiting significantly higher affinity (less than 50 pM) compared to the parental antibody (affinity of about 2 nM) is described. The anti-CD22 variant antibody or a fragment thereof, such as a single-chain variable fragment (scFv), can be used as the antigen-binding portion of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), immunotoxins or multi-specific antibodies for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. |
