A germline knowledge based computational approach for determining antibody complementarity determining regions

Molecular Immunology, 2010
Determination of framework regions (FRs) and complementarity determining regions (CDRs) in an antibody is essential for understanding the underlying biology as well as antibody engineering and optimization. However, there are no computational algorithms available to delimit an antibody sequence or a library of sequences into FRs and CDRs in a coherent ...

Cluster and information entropy patterns in immunoglobulin complementarity determining regions

BioSystems, 2004
Previous studies of antibody binding domains have established many crucial features that include important structural positions, canonical formations, and the geometric correlations with the binding site nature and topography. In this work, position-specific frequency and hierarchical clustering analysis are used to explore the statistical pattern of ...

Replacing the complementarity-determining regions in a human antibody with those from a mouse

Nature, 1986
The variable domains of an antibody consist of a beta-sheet framework with hypervariable regions (or complementarity-determining regions--CDRs) which fashion the antigen-binding site. Here we attempted to determine whether the antigen-binding site could be transplanted from one framework to another by grafting the CDRs. We substituted the CDRs from the

Heavy-Chain Complementarity-Determining Regions Determine Conformation Selectivity of Anti-Aβ Antibodies [PDF]

open access: yesNeurodegenerative Diseases, 2010
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Amyloid-β (Aβ) protofibrils are neurotoxic soluble intermediates in the Aβ aggregation process eventually forming senile plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. This Aβ species is a potential biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease and also a promising target for immunotherapy. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of

Downsizing antibodies: Towards complementarity-determining region (CDR)-based peptide mimetics [PDF]

open access: yesBioorganic Chemistry, 2022
Monoclonal antibodies emerged as an important therapeutic drug class with remarkable specificity and binding affinity. Nonetheless, these heterotetrameric immunoglobulin proteins come with high manufacturing and therapeutic costs which can take ...

Exploiting sequence space: shuffling in vivo formed complementarity determining regions into a master framework [PDF]

open access: yesGene, 1998
A novel approach in molecular design is presented, where in vivo formed complementarity determining regions (CDR) from antibody genes were shuffled into a specific framework region.

The His-probe method: Effects of histidine residues introduced into the complementarity-determining regions of antibodies on antigen-antibody interactions at different pH values [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1992
We examined the effects or histidine residues that were artificially introduced into complementarity-determining regions of antibodies on antigen-antibody Interactions at different pH values.

Positive charge in the complementarity-determining regions of synthetic nanobody prevents aggregation

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2021
In the past, specificity and affinity were the priority for synthetic antibody library. However, therapeutic antibodies need good stability for medical use. Through carefully adjust the chemical diversity in CDRs, one hopes to design a synthetic antibody library with good developability. Here we thoroughly analyzed 296 nanobody sequences and structures,
