Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) neutralizing antibodies (NAb)

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) neutralizing antibodies (NAb) Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) enters into the host cells through the type I fusion (F) glycoprotein. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, such as Suptavumab, Palivizumab, Nirsevimab, Motavizumab, Gontivimab, and felvizumab target the major antigenic sites on the RSV F glycoprotein and neutralize the entry process. FDA approved neutralizing antibodies (NAb) […]

Rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (NAb)

Rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (NAb) Rabies virus is the causative agent of the rabies. The Rabies Virus Spike Glycoproteins are the important protein responsible for the virus entry and the major target of neutralizing antibodies. GeneMedi offers the Rabies Virus Spike Glycoprotein G, Rabies Virus Surface Glycoprotein 4 (gp4) Epitope 1, Rabies Virus Strain ERA GP Ectodomain Epitope […]

Main elements of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC): Linker (cleavable/non-cleavable, structure and mechanism)

Table2. Chemical triggers Conjugate linker is not only the molecular part forming covalent connection between antibody and small molecule payload, but also the key element with design properties in targeted drug therapy. The addition of linkers should not induce aggregation, and it is necessary to ensure acceptable PK characteristics, limit the premature release (stability) of […]

Main elements of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC): Antibodies and their targets

1. Mylotarg® (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) from Wyeth/Pfizer was the first ADC to reach the market. It is composed of a recombinant humanized anti-CD33 mAb (IgG4κ antibody hP67.6) covalently attached to a calicheamicin derived payload (N-acetyl-γ-calicheamicin 1,2-dimethyl hydrazine dichloride) via a pH-sensitive hydrazone linker. 2. Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin) from Seagen (formerly Seattle Genetics), containing a CD30-specific mAb conjugated to […]

Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in clinical application (Approved/BLA, phaseI/II/III)

FDA approved Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for clinical use Clinically, most of the ADC drugs approved by FDA are IgG1, and the targets are CD33, CD22, HER2 and so on. The most common payload is MMAE, also contains calicheamicin, DM1. ADC drugs are mainly used in the field of antitumor, which is one of the hot […]

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 […]

Anthrax protective antigen (PA) neutralizing antibodies (NAb)

Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax. The protective antigen is an important element of the anthrax toxin. It helps bacteria to transfer the enzymatic components into the host cell, through the formation spanning pore on the membrane. antibiotics are effective at the early stages of anthrax, but antibiotics are no longer effective with […]

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 […]
