An antibody-based biomarker discovery method by mass spectrometry sequencing of complementarity determining regions. [PDF]
Autoantibodies are increasingly used as biomarkers in the detection of autoimmune disorders and cancer. Disease specific antibodies are generally detected by their binding to specific antigens.

Antibody complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) can display differential antimicrobial, antiviral and antitumor activities. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are immunoglobulin (Ig) hypervariable domains that determine specific antibody (Ab) binding. We have shown that synthetic CDR-related peptides and many decapeptides spanning the variable region of a ...

A Role of the Third Complementarity-determining Region in the Affinity Maturation of an Antibody [PDF]
We recently found that there are two distinct antibody maturation pathways for the immune response of C57BL/6 mice to (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl) acetyl and that a junctional amino acid introduced at a point far in advance of somatic hypermutation determined which pathway of affinity maturation was used.

Complementarity-determining region clustering may cause CAR-T cell dysfunction [PDF]
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is rapidly advancing as cancer treatment, however, designing an optimal CAR remains challenging. A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) is generally used as CAR targeting moiety, wherein the complementarity-

Generation of humanized anti-DNA hydrolyzing catalytic antibodies by complementarity determining region grafting. [PDF]
Humanization of nonhuman antibodies (Abs) has been carried out mainly for Abs which bind to antigen without catalytic activity. Here we report humanization of mouse-originated 3D8 (m3D8) mAbs (scFv, VH, and VL) with DNA hydrolyzing catalytic activity by ...

Phage-displayed antibody libraries of synthetic heavy chain complementarity determining regions [PDF]
A structure-based approach was used to design libraries of synthetic heavy chain complementarity determining regions (CDRs). The CDR libraries were displayed as either monovalent or bivalent single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) with a single heavy ...

Functional Analysis of T Cells Lacking Germline-Encoded Complementarity-Determining Regions [PDF]
The diversity of antigen receptors and the specificity it underlies are the hallmarks of the cellular arm of the adaptive immune system. T and B lymphocytes are indeed truly unique in their ability to generate receptors capable of recognising virtually ...

Humanization of Antibodies using a Statistical Inference Approach
Antibody humanization is a key step in the preclinical phase of the development of therapeutic antibodies, originally developed and tested in non-human models (most typically, in mouse). The standard technique of Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDR)
