Antibody
Comment: Talquetamab (JNJ-64407564) is a humanized, IgG4 bispecific monoclonal antibody that engages the orphan GPCR GPRC5D that's expressed on majority of malignant plasma cells from multiple myeloma (MM) patients and CD3ε on T cells [3]. It has amino acid substitutions in its Fc region to minimise binding to Fcγ receptors and antibody-directed effector functions. The peptide sequences for talquetamab's heavy and light chains are claimed in Janssen's patent US10562968B2 [1]. In preclinical studies talquetamab promoted immune killing of MM cells, including cells from patients with daratumumab-refractory disease [4].
