Tradeoff between stability and multispecificity in the design of promiscuous proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2009
Natural proteins often partake in several highly specific protein-protein interactions. They are thus subject to multiple opposing forces during evolutionary selection.

“Stapling” scFv for multispecific biotherapeutics of superior properties

open access: yesmAbs, 2023
Single-chain fragment variable (scFv) domains play an important role in antibody-based therapeutic modalities, such as bispecifics, multispecifics and chimeric antigen receptor T cells or natural killer cells.

Enhanced radiation-induced immunogenic cell death activates chimeric antigen receptor T cells by targeting CD39 against glioblastoma

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2022
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells directed to solid tumors have been less effective, due in part to the low or lost expression of specific tumor antigens.

Format and geometries matter: Structure-based design defines the functionality of bispecific antibodies

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Multispecific antibodies can be generated in different formats. More than two decades of R&D in the field of bispecific antibody engineering revealed that the design and choice of format can have a profound impact on the antibody functionality.

Affinity- and specificity-enhancing mutations are frequent in multispecific interactions between TIMP2 and MMPs.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Multispecific proteins play a major role in controlling various functions such as signaling, regulation of transcription/translation, and immune response. Hence, a thorough understanding of the atomic-level principles governing multispecific interactions

Multiple Paths to Multispecificity [PDF]

open access: yesImmunity, 2006
The limited primary antibody repertoire uses multiple mechanisms to account for the large number of potential antigens. In this issue of Immunity, Sethi et al. (2006) describe a new means for expanding the antibody repertoire, whereby a single antibody isomer binds diverse antigens at different regions of the binding site.

Male genitalia of the species of the subfamily Agathidinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and their importance in taxonomy [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2010
A morphological analysis of the male genitalia of 24 species of the subfamily Agathidinae from 10 genera is presented. Detailed descriptions of important morphological features of all the species are given.

Engineering multi-specific antibodies against HIV-1

open access: yesRetrovirology, 2018
As increasing numbers of broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against HIV-1 enter clinical trials, it is becoming evident that combinations of mAbs are necessary to block infection by the diverse array of globally circulating HIV-1 strains ...

Codon deoptimization of multispecific biologics reduces mispairing during transient mammalian protein expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionCodon optimization is utilized in biologics design to maximize protein expression. Selecting the host organism’s most frequently used codons for each amino acid can significantly enhance recombinant protein expression yields.
