1. A trimeric polypeptide complex comprising three monomer polypeptides
wherein each monomer polypeptide comprises:
i. a homotrimerization domain selected from the group consisting of the collagen XVIII homotrimerization domain (TIEXVIII), the collagen XV homotrimerization domain (TIEXV) and a functionally equivalent variant thereof, wherein the functionally equivalent variant of TIEXVIII is a sequence showing at least 80% identity with the sequence SEQ ID NO: 12 and the functionally equivalent variant of TIEXV is a sequence showing at least 80% identity with the sequence SEQ ID NO: 2; and
ii. an agonist of a TNFR family costimulatory receptor, and
wherein at least one monomer polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide region which is capable of specifically binding to a tumor associated antigen.
