Bispecific antibodies with Fab-arms featuring exchanged antigen-binding constant domains

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Monoclonal antibodies can acquire the property of engagement of a second antigen via fusion methods or modification of their CDR loops, but also by modification of their constant domains, such as in the mAb2 format where a set of mutated amino acid ...

Solution structure of a repeated unit of the ABA-1 nematode polyprotein allergen of ascaris reveals a novel fold and two discrete lipid-binding sites [PDF]

, 2011
Parasitic nematode worms cause serious health problems in humans and other animals. They can induce allergic-type immune responses, which can be harmful but may at the same time protect against the infections. Allergens are proteins that trigger allergic

Molecular anatomy of the antibody binding site.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1983
The binding region of immunoglobulins, which includes the portion of the molecule having the most variability in its amino acid sequence, is shown to have a surprisingly constant structure that can be characterized in terms of a simple, well-defined model.

A versatile design platform for glycoengineering therapeutic antibodies

mAbs, 2022
Manipulation of glycosylation patterns, i.e., glycoengineering, is incorporated in the therapeutic antibody development workflow to ensure clinical safety, and this approach has also been used to modulate the biological activities, functions, or ...

Generation and characterization of rat and mouse monoclonal antibodies specific for MeCP2 and their use in X-inactivation studies [PDF]

, 2011
Methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) binds DNA, and has a preference for methylated CpGs and, hence, in cells, it accumulates in heterochromatin. Even though it is expressed ubiquitously MeCP2 is particularly important during neuronal maturation. This is

A CD4-mimetic compound enhances vaccine efficacy against stringent immunodeficiency virus challenge

Nature Communications, 2018
The HIV Env trimer exhibits a closed confirmation and restricts access to known antibody binding sites. Here the authors show that a small-molecule CD4-mimetic compound binds the HIV Env trimer and enhances antibody-mediated protection in a non-human ...

Expression of an anti-CD33 single-chain antibody by Pichia pastoris [PDF]

, 2005
CD33 is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed on cells of myelomonocytic lineage, leukaemic cells, but not haematopoietic stem cells. By virtue of its expression pattern, CD33 has become a popular target for new immunotherapeutic approaches to treat ...
