Figure Lengend Snippet: The structures and properties of four anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Igs. ( A ) Anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Igs consist of two VD1 and two VD2. The VD1 and VD2 are connected by linkers of different lengths. ( B ) SDS-PAGE gels of purified proteins under NR and R conditions determined the molecular weights of the anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Ig. ( C ) The affinity of anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Igs to HER2 and CCR4 protein was determined by SPR. ( D, E ) The affinity of anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Igs to HER2 protein ( D ) and CCR4 protein ( E ) was determined by ELISA. ( F ) Competitive ELISA was used to assess the competition of CCL22 protein and antibodies in binding to CCR4 protein. ( G ) Flow cytometry analysis of HER2 expression in MDA-MB-231 (left), SKBR (middle), and NCI-N87 (right) cells. ( H ) Flow cytometry analyzes the binding of anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Igs to MDA-MB-231 (left), SKBR (middle), and NCI-N87 (right) cells. Representative flow cytometry plots. ( I ) Representative flow cytometry plots. ( J ) CCR4 expression on Treg-CCR4 cells was assessed by flow cytometry. ( K ) Flow cytometry analyzed the HER2×CCR4 DVD-Ig mediated co-binding of SKBR3 cells and Treg-CCR4 cells by calculating CFSE + PKH26 + populations. ( L ) Confocal microscopy was used to observe the co-binding of SKBR3 cells and Treg-CCR4 cells mediated by anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Ig. Green: HER2 + cells, red: CCR4 + cells. Microscope magnification: ×200 times. All in vitro experiments were performed three times independently. HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; SPR, surface plasmon resonance; Treg, regulatory T cell; VD, variable domains.
