Ofatumumab Monoclonal Antibody Affinity Maturation Through in silico Modeling
Background: Ofatumumab, an anti-CD20 mAb, was approved in 2009 for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This mAb acts through immune-mediated mechanisms, in particular complement-dependent cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity by natural killer cells as well as antibody-dependent phagocytosis by macrophages. Apoptosis induction is another mechanism of this antibody...
متن کاملEffects of age on antibody affinity maturation.
The elderly are more susceptible to infectious diseases. Mortality and morbidity from infections increase sharply over the age of 65 years. At the same time, the efficacy of vaccinations in the elderly is decreased. The elderly also have an increased incidence of cancer and inflammatory diseases. All the above indicate an age-related dysregulation of the immune system. Evidence suggests that th...
متن کاملAntibody affinity maturation using bacterial surface display.
A quantitative system for screening combinatorial single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody libraries was developed utilizing surface display on Escherichia coli and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). This system was employed to isolate clones with high-affinity to a fluorescently-labeled hapten from libraries constructed by randomizing heavy and light-chain residues in the anti-digoxin 26-10 de...
متن کاملStepwise intraclonal maturation of antibody affinity through somatic hypermutation.
Using recombinant DNA techniques, we reconstructed a genealogical tree (Sablitzky, F., Wildner, G. & Rajewsky, K. (1985) EMBO J. 4, 345-350) that connects three clonally related B cells producing somatically mutated antibodies to a progenitor cell expressing a germ line-encoded antibody. The somatic mutants had been isolated from an in vivo immune response. The germ line-encoded progenitor anti...
