An anti-canine CD16 polypeptide generally includes a CDR region of SEQ ID NO:5, a CDR region of SEQ ID NO:9, or a functional variant of either CDR region. An anti-canine CD64 polypeptide generally includes a CDR region of SEQ ID NO:13, a CDR region of SEQ ID NO:17, or a functional variant of either CDR region. The anti-canine CD16 polypeptide and anti-canine CD64 polypeptide may be incorporated into a therapeutic compound, a multispecific compound, a targeted imaging compound, or a capture assay device.

Anti-canine CD16 polypeptides, anti-canine CD64 polypeptides, compositions including same, and methods of using

This disclosure describes, generally, a modified form of CD16, genetically-modified cells that express the modified CD16, and methods that involve the genetically-modified cells. The modified form of CD16 can exhibit increased anti-tumor and/or anti-viral activity due, at least in part, to reduced susceptibility to ADAM17-mediated shedding upon NK cell stimulation.
