Bispecific antibodies extend the capabilities of nature and might be applied in immunotherapy and biotechnology. By fusing the gene of a single-chain Fv (scFv) fragment to a helical dimerization domain, followed by a second scFv fragment of different specificity, we were able to express a functional protein in E. coli, which is bispecific and has two valencies for each specificity. The dimeric bispecific (DiBi) miniantibody preserves the natural avidity of antibodies in a very small-sized molecule of only 120 kDa. The generality of the principle was shown with a scFv fragment binding the EGF-receptor (named scFv 425) in three combinations with scFv fragments either directed against CD2 (ACID2.M1), phosphorylcholine (McPC603) or fluorescein (FITC-E2). Binding was analyzed by sandwich surface plasmon resonance biosensor (BIAcore) measurements.
双特异性抗体拓展了自然的能力,可应用于免疫治疗和生物技术领域。通过将单链Fv(scFv)片段的基因与一个螺旋二聚化结构域融合,随后再接上一个具有不同特异性的第二个scFv片段,我们得以在大肠杆菌中表达一种功能性蛋白,该蛋白具有双特异性,且每种特异性都有两个结合价。二聚体双特异性(DiBi)微型抗体在仅120 kDa的非常小的分子中保留了抗体的天然亲和力。用与表皮生长因子受体结合的scFv片段(命名为scFv 425)与分别针对CD2(ACID2.M1)、磷酸胆碱(McPC603)或荧光素(FITC-E2)的scFv片段的三种组合展示了该原理的通用性。通过夹心表面等离子体共振生物传感器(BIAcore)测量分析结合情况。
