Engineering Decavalent, Sperm‐Binding Laminin‐IgG Hybrid Antibodies for Potent Non‐Hormonal Contraception

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates a highly multivalent mAb platform fusing Laminin‐511 heterotrimerization domains with Fabs and IgG1‐Fc as a non‐hormonal contraceptive. The most potent molecule ‘LamH10’, possessing 10 Fabs, rapidly achieved >99% reduction in progressively motile sperm at just 33µg per dose in sheep, making the laminin‐IgG hybrid platform the ...
