摘要: The anti-nerve growth factor (NGF) monoclonal antibody alphaD11 is a potent antagonist that neutralizes the biological functions of its antigen in vivo. NGF antagonism expected to be highly effective and safe therapeutic approach many pain states. A comprehensive functional structural analysis was carried out, showing ability neutralize binding either tropomyosine receptor kinase (TrkA) or p75 receptors. 3-D structure Fab fragment solved at 1.7 resolution. computational docking model Fab-NGF complex, based on epitope mapping using pool 44 mutants experimentally validated by small-angle X-ray scattering, provided basis for identifying residues involved binding. present study pinpoints loop II an important determinant activity mediated TrkA receptor.
