Figure Lengend Snippet: Production and characterization of monovalent trispecific antibodies by protein splicing. (A) Protein trans-splicing schematic in which an αEGFR-αCD3 Int C -scaffolds and an αHER2 Fab-Int N are reacted to produce a monovalent trispecific antibodies with two distinct geometries. (B) SDS-PAGE analysis of the intein reactants and trispecific antibody products (i, light chain; ii, Fab heavy chain; iii, Int C heavy chain; iv, Fab-Int N ; v, spliced heavy chain). (C) Analytical SEC of the spliced trispecific antibodies and a monovalent bispecific DuetMab. (D) EGFR, HER2, and CD3 antigen binding of the spliced trispecifics compared to monovalent bispecific DuetMab controls measured by biolayer interferometry. (E) Cellular binding of spliced trispecific antibodies to EGFR + /HER2 + NCI-H358 cells and CD3 + HPB-ALL cells. (F) T-cell engager cytotoxicity assays comparing activity of the two geometric orientations of the spliced trispecific antibodies.. Cell binding curves are representative examples from n = 2 experiments. SDS-PAGE, SEC, and BLI measurements are performed post post Ni-NTA cleanup and are representative examples from n = 2 replicates. Values for direct and TCE cytotoxicity represent the mean ± the standard error about the mean of two biological replicates.
Article Snippet: The EGFR+, HER2+, and cMET+ cell line NCI H358 were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (cat# CRL-5807), and CD3+ cell line HPB-ALL was obtained from DSMZ (cat # ACC 483).
