摘要

PCT No. PCT/EP93/00082 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 22, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 22, 1994 PCT Filed Jan. 15, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/15210 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 5, 1993The present invention describes a new class of antigen binding molecules which contain Fv-fragments of an antibody but do not use the constant antibody domains. They can also dimerize with other antibody fragment molecules or with non-antibody fragment molecules to form bi- or multifunctional antibody-fragment fusion proteins and so-called miniantibodies, respectively. The new fusion proteins can be used in the broad field of diagnostic and therapeutical medicine.
