Title Chemical generation of bispecific antibodies.
URL
Abstract Text Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are regarded as promising therapeutic agents due to their ability to simultaneously bind two different antigens. Several bispecific modalities have been developed, but their utility is limited due to problems with stability and manufacturing complexity. Here we report a versatile technology, based on a scaffold antibody and pharmacophore peptide heterodimers, that enables rapid generation and chemical optimization of bispecific antibodies, which are termed bispecific CovX-Bodies. Two different peptides are joined together using a branched azetidinone linker and fused to the scaffold antibody under mild conditions in a site-specific manner. Whereas the pharmacophores are responsible for functional activities, the antibody scaffold imparts long half-life and Ig-like distribution. The pharmacophores can be chemically optimized or replaced with other pharmacophores to generate optimized or unique bispecific antibodies. As a prototype, we developed a bispecific antibody that binds both vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) simultaneously, inhibits their function, shows efficacy in tumor xenograft studies, and greatly augments the antitumor effects of standard chemotherapy. This unique antiangiogenic bispecific antibody is in phase-1 clinical trials.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
