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 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 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 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 […]
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 […]
