Artificial affinity maturation of antibodies is promising but often shows difficulties because the roles of each amino acid residue are not well known. To elucidate their roles in affinity against the antigen and thermal stability, interface residues in single-chain Fv of an antibody B2212A with its antigen roundabout homolog 1 were mutated and analyzed. Some amino acids played important roles in the affinity while others contributed to thermal stability.
抗体的人工亲和力成熟很有前景,但往往存在困难,因为每个氨基酸残基的作用尚不清楚。为了阐明它们在对抗抗原的亲和力和热稳定性方面的作用,对抗体B2212A的单链Fv与其抗原迂回同源物1之间的界面残基进行了突变和分析。一些氨基酸在亲和力方面起重要作用,而另一些则有助于热稳定性。
