Figure Lengend Snippet: The A5-linker-ML3.9 bs-scFv selectively binds BT-474 tumour cells in vitro . Non-labelled BT-474 (ErbB2‘+’/ErbB3‘+’) breast tumour cells were mixed with either an equal ( A and B ) or 18-fold excess ( C ) of fluorescently labelled MCF10a (ErbB2‘±’/ErbB3‘±’) normal breast epithelial cells. Cell mixtures were then incubated with buffer ( A ) or 100 n M ALM ( B and C ) and binding of ALM to each cell population was determined by flow cytometry with an anti-6XHis tag secondary antibody. MCF10a cells were sorted to the upper quadrants and the non-labelled BT-474 cells were sorted to the lower quadrants. Cells bound by the secondary antibody sorted to the respective right hand quadrants. Images on the left depict the raw flow cytometry data. Values on the right represent the absolute number and overall percentage of each cell type in the respective quadrants.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Bispecific binding is required for optimal tumour targeting of the ALM bs-scFv in vivo . The biodistributions of radioiodinated ALM, ALD and DLM bs-scFv were analysed 24 h post-injection into xenograft-bearing SCID mice ( n =5 per cohort). ( A ) Co-expression of ErbB2 and ErbB3 by the targeted tumour is required for optimal targeting of ALM in vivo . 125 I-ALM targeted ErbB2+/ErbB3+ tumour xenografts to ⩾3-fold higher levels than xenografts that express only one of the target antigens. ( B ) Radioiodinated ALM ( 125 I-ALM), which is capable of bivalent association with the surface of Sk-OV-3 tumour cells, exhibited increased targeting as compared with ALD and DLM that targeted the tumours monovalently. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean (s.e.m.).

Figure Lengend Snippet: The A5-linker-ML3.9 bs-scFv has intrinsic anti-tumour cell activity. ( A ) Treatment of BT-474 and MDA-361/DYT2 cells with ALM inhibits colony formation in clonogenicity assays. Treatment of ( B ) BT-474 or ( C ) MDA-361/DYT2 cells with A5 scFv, ML3.9 scFv or the combination of both indicates that the majority of the intrinsic anti-tumour cell activity of ALM is due to the anti-ErbB3 A5 scFv arm. Colonies larger than 0.35 m M were counted using an automatic colony counter. Error bars represent the standard deviation.

doi: 10.1101/575449

Figure Lengend Snippet: a-d Confocal immunofluorescence imaging of traced surface labelled integrin β1 and ErbB3: MCF7 cells were labelled on ice with an Alexa488-conjugated anti-integrin β1 antibody prior to incubation for 30 minutes at 37°C to allow integrin β1 internalisation, and subsequent cell-fixation and immunolabelling of ErbB3 (red) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). c Histogram of fluorescence intensities along dotted lines indicated in ( b ). d Analysis of colocalization of integrin β1 and ErbB3. The enrichment of integrin β1 in ErbB3-positive intracellular structures (0.5-2 μm diameter) was determined by the formula (a-b)/b where a is the integrin β1 intensity at ErbB3 positive structures, and b the adjacent intensity (background) for each structure. Average intensity projections of all analysed structures are shown on the right-hand side. e Schematic outline of the recycling assays conducted in ( f-k ) in the absence of growth factors: Briefly, the surface-pool of integrin β1 was labelled with an Alexa488-conjugated antibody and allowed to endocytose. Fluorophore label remaining on the cell surface was quenched with an anti-Alexa488 antibody, prior to visualisation of traced integrin β1 re-emerging on the cell surface by live-cell TIRF microscopy. The recycling assays were conducted after prior transfection with non-targeting control siRNA or siRNA targeting indicated proteins. f Represenative TIRF microscopy images of integrin β1 from peripheral areas of MCF10A cells. g Quantifications of recycled integrin β1 performed on indicated number of cells (outside of brackets on the right-hand side of graphs), from three independent experiments and shown as Alexa488 intensity normalized between 0-1, with the control as reference where F norm =((F max -F min )/(F-F min )). h Representative TIRF microscopy images of integrin β1 from prHMEC cells. i Quantifications of recycled integrin β1 in prHMECs performed as described in ( g ). j , k .
