Anti-CTGF single-chain variable fragment dimers inhibit human airway smooth muscle (ASM) cell proliferation by down-regulating p-Akt and p-mTOR levels.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) contributes to airway smooth muscle (ASM) cell hyperplasia in asthma. Humanized single-chain variable fragment antibody (scFv) was well characterized as a CTGF antagonist in the differentiation of fibroblast into ...

Recombinant production of the antibody fragment D1.3 scFv with different Bacillus strains

Microbial Cell Factories, 2017
BackgroundDifferent strains of the genus Bacillus are versatile candidates for the industrial production and secretion of heterologous proteins. They can be cultivated quite easily, show high growth rates and are usually non-pathogenic and free of endo ...

Efficacy, safety and cost‐effectiveness of CAR‐T therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
CAR T‐cells demonstrate high efficacy in blood cancers, including ALL, MM and DLBCL. Innovations target solid tumours despite challenges such as antigen escape. Combination therapies enhance the delivery and infiltration of CAR T cells. Toxicity, cost and resistance remain major barriers to clinical use.

Ultrasmall Fe‐curcumin immunomodulators reinvigorate CAR‐T cells to potentiate solid tumor immunotherapy by mitigating cell exhaustion and senescence

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This work discovered a novel research that ultrasmall Fe‐curcumin immunomodulators could reinvigorate CAR‐T cells to potentiate solid tumor immunotherapy by mitigating cell exhaustion and senescence. Abstract CAR‐T cell immunotherapy has achieved exciting success in hematologic malignancies, but the therapeutic efficacy is relatively limited in solid ...

Simple, mild, one-step labelling of proteins with gallium-68 using a tris(hydroxypyridinone) bifunctional chelator: a 68Ga-THP-scFv targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen

EJNMMI Research, 2017
BackgroundLabelling proteins with gallium-68 using bifunctional chelators is often problematic because of unsuitably harsh labelling conditions such as low pH or high temperature and may entail post-labelling purification.

Radiosensitization and growth inhibition of cancer cells mediated by an scFv antibody gene against DNA-PKcs in vitro and in vivo

Radiation Oncology, 2010
Background Overexpression of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) is commonly occurred in cancers and causes radioresistance and poor prognosis. In present study, the single-chain variable antibody fragments (scFv) targeting DNA-PKcs
