Mycograb C28Y is a recombinant human antibody fragment thought to target HSP-90 and potentiate amphotericin B (AMB). Absence of in vivo efficacy led us to reevaluate its in vitro activity. Interactions between AMB and Mycograb were investigated using a checkerboard design. Addition of Mycograb or various unrelated proteins, including human serum, resulted in similar decreases in the MIC of AMB. Potentiation of AMB by Mycograb appears to be a nonspecific protein effect.
Mycograb C28Y 是一种重组人抗体片段,据认为其可靶向 HSP-90 并增强两性霉素 B(AMB)的活性。体内疗效的缺失促使我们重新评估其体外活性。采用棋盘设计研究了 AMB 与 Mycograb 之间的相互作用。添加 Mycograb 或各种不相关的蛋白质,包括人血清,均可使 AMB 的 MIC 相似降低。Mycograb 增强 AMB 的作用似乎是一种非特异性蛋白效应。
