Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Selective cytotoxic activity of parental EGFR/HER2 DuetMab. ( b ) Selective cytotoxic activity of VκF94A/HER2 DuetMab variant. ( c ) Selective cytotoxic activity of VκS93A + V H P97A/HER2 DuetMab variant. ( d ) Selective cytotoxic activity of VκF94A + V H P97A/HER2 DuetMab variant. ( e ) Selective cytotoxic activity of VκS93A + V H P97A/HER2 IgG-scFv variant. ( f ) Selective cytotoxic activity of VκF94A + V H P97A/HER2 IgG-scFv variant. ( g ) Mean of TSP values based upon data from three independent experiments. To determine selective cell targeting and elimination, the double-positive NCI-H358 cells and single-positive NCI-H358.HER2.ko cells were pre-stained with different tracer dyes, combined at equal ratios and incubated with serial dilutions of the various bsAbs. Selective cytotoxic activity was determined by cell imaging cytometry. Each point on the graphs represents the mean values of triplicate wells and the ± standard error of the mean (SEM) is represented by error bars. Statistical significance was determined by One way ANOVA for multiple comparisons (P < 0.05 *P < 0.01 **P < 0.001 ***P < 0.0001 ****ns: not significant).
Article Snippet: After washing with FACS buffer, cell-bound DuetMab was detected by PE-conjugated goat anti-human Fcγ (Jackson ImmunoResearch) and free antigen binding arms on cell-bound DuetMab were detected by biotinylated soluble EGFR and HER2 proteins at 5 nM followed by Streptavidin-Allophycocyanin (APC) (Biolegend).
