摘要: In the quest to discover new research tools and develop better agents in fight against cancer, two antibodies, G6 B20-4, were isolated from synthetic antibody phage libraries. Unlike AVASTIN™ antibody, a recently approved agent for treatment of patients with colorectal B20-4 bind block both human murine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Here we have analyzed compared binding epitopes on VEGF these three antibodies using alanine-scanning mutagenesis structural analyses. The recognized by are conserved between mouse VEGF, they match closely receptor structurally functionally. contrast, Avastin epitope overlaps minimally surface centers around residue that is not mouse. Our functional analyses elucidate cross-species reactivity all emphasize potential advantages generation display as resulting do depend sequence differences across species preferentially target natural protein-protein interaction surfaces.
