What is antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)?

The structure of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) ADC consists of antibodies and payload, linker connects antibodies and small molecule drugs. After ADC drugs enter the blood, its antibody part will recognize and bind to the surface antigen of target cells. Theninternalizing ADC antigen complex into cells through endocytosis, the complex will be degraded by lysosomes and […]

Product data of ADC

Product List Case study: Product data of Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) Antibody Payload QC Ab-001 VCMMAE SDS-PAGE(reducing and non-reducing) Human IgG1 Control DAR Ab-002 Cytotoxity assay First, we used a higher dose of reducing agent (TCEP) and small toxic molecule (vcmmae) to ensure the success of coupling. SDS-PAGE (reducing DTT & non reducing DTT) results showed […]

Review for ADC production, quality control and functional assay

SDS-PAGE We need run SDS-PAGE(reducing and non-reducing DTT) to see the integrity of antibody and Preliminary observation of the connection of small molecules. In general, we can see that the conjugated antibody will shift upward compared with the naked antibody DAR (methods and standard) ADC drugs are essentially a mixture, which is composed of mAbs […]

Biological coupling with engineered unnatural amino acids

In addition to thiomonoclonal antibody technology, the addition of non-standard amino acids (NCAA) provides another possibility for site-specific coupling. The technology uses amino acids with unique chemical structure, which can introduce linker payload complexes in a chemically selective manner. This technique requires the recombination of antibody sequences, using tRNA and aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (AARS) orthogonal […]

Site specific biological coupling of engineered antibodies and Enzymatic method

Site specific biological coupling of engineered antibodies   Advances in bioorthogonal chemistry and protein engineering contribute to the generation of more uniform ADCs. Although there are many attachment methods available on natural monoclonal antibodies, site-specific biological coupling on engineered antibodies can more effectively control Dar and avoid changing the affinity for antigen binding. In this […]

Glycan coupling

Glycan coupling Because IgG is a glycoprotein, it contains an N-glycan at n297 of CH2 domain of each heavy chain of Fc fragment. This glycosylation can be used as the attachment point of connecting payload. The long-distance localization between polysaccharide and Fab region reduces the risk of damaging the antigen binding ability of antibody after […]

Endogenous coupling of amino acids and Disulfide re bridging strategy

Endogenous coupling of amino acids One of the most common coupling methods is to use the lysine residue of the antibody, the amino acid nucleophilic NH2 group, to react with the electrophilic N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) Group on the lik payload. Although the reaction is simple, the high abundance of available lysine residues leads to the formation […]

Biological coupling technology Chemical based specific in situ antibody modification

The natural structure of monoclonal antibodies provides a variety of possibilities for biological coupling. Chemical and specific natural (non engineering) antibody coupling has some advantages. It can avoid the complexity of antibody specific site mutation and the possible challenges in the amplification and optimization of cell culture. Coupling sites according to the antibody sequence, the […]

Toxins/Payloads (Classification and function) of Innovative drugs

Apoptosis inducer (BCL XL inhibitor) Overexpression of anti apoptotic Bcl-2 family members (including BCL XL) is one of the mechanisms for cancer cells to obtain apoptosis resistance. Drugs that block the BH3 binding domain on BCL XL can trigger cancer cell apoptosis. Telanstadine and its analogues Targeted spliceosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex involved in […]

Toxins/Payloads (Classification and function) of DNA damage drugs

There are so many payloads, like MMAE, Calicheamicin, MMAF, DM1, SN-38 and Dxd. Pyrrole benzodiazepines and indole chlorobenzodiazepines Pyrrolo [2,1-c] [1,4] benzodiazepine (PBD) is a natural product with antitumor activity. Their mode of action is selective alkylation in small grooves of DNA, in which the N2 of guanine forms a covalent bond with the electrophilic […]
