Figure Lengend Snippet: A Stability of conventionally prepared AFCs via hinge cysteine conjugation, B via short 28-amino-acid-long coiled-coil peptides, C via long 35-amino-acid-long coiled-coil peptides, and D via long 35-amino-acid-long coiled-coil peptides with cysteine residue substitution in human plasma incubated at 37 °C. A – D Data are presented as mean ± s.d., n = 3 biological replicates. E Schematic illustration of ADC conjugation strategy and molecular structure of the linker-payload consisting of valine-citrulline (Val-Cit) cleavable portion and self-immolative p-aminobenzyl carbamate (PAB) moiety. F PK of unmodified trastuzumab (αHER2), unloaded ADC (αHER2-P3 5mer -cys), and fully assembled coiled-coil ADC (ADC) in female Balb/c. Blood was collected at the indicated time points, and the total amount of human IgG was quantified by indirect ELISA using a standard curve. Data are presented as mean ± s.d., n = 3 biological replicates for the trastuzumab group, n = 4 for ADC, and n = 2 for the unloaded ADC group. G Ex vivo organ biodistribution of AFC injected i.v. at a 10 mg/kg dose into SKOV-3 tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice at different time points. Data are presented as mean ± s.d., n = 3 biological replicates. The total radiant efficiency was calculated using IVIS software, keeping the area of the ROI the same across all the samples. H Representative fluorescent picture of ex vivo organs post AFC injection.

I Orthotopic xenograft model of ErbB2/Her2-positive cancer study. Female NSG mice were engrafted with 2 million (2 M) SKOV-3 tumor cells by intraperitoneal injection (IP), were randomized on day 14, and treated with a single intravenous (IV) dose of PBS or trastuzumab antibody (10 mg/kg) or coiled-coil ADC (10 mg/kg) or high dose coiled-coil ADC (2xADC, 20 mg/kg) or disitamab vedotin (10 mg/kg), or trastuzumab vedotin (10 mg/kg), or disitamab antibody (10 mg/kg). All mice were euthanized at week 7 post-treatment, when PBS-treated mice exhibited severe hunching posture and signs of morbidity, to record the endpoint tumor volume and mass. J Average mouse body weight for selected treatment groups over the observation period. Data are presented as mean ± s.d., n = 5 biological replicates. K Exemplary images of harvested tumors at study termination. L Recorded tumor size, and M tumor mass. Data are presented as mean ± s.d., n = 5 biological replicates for Trastuzumab, Trastuzumab vedotin, ADC, 2xADC, and Disitamab treatment groups, n = 10 biological replicates for Disitamab vedotin, and n = 13 for PBS group. Statistical significance determined by the Mann–Whitney U test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
Article Snippet: Serial dilutions of native αHER2 (Human ErbB2/Her2 Antibody, Cat. # MAB9589-100, R&D Systems Inc) or antibodies fused to a receiving peptide (αHER2-P3) were prepared in blocking buffer (starting at 3 μg/mL).
