Method of Preparing Multivalent Single Chain Antibodies (scFv)
This method surpasses previous methods of production, such as using polyvalent proteins and antibodies, which were limited by low throughput and high cost.
This method provides an efficient and controllable way to produce multivalent antibodies for the advancement of scFv against cancer.
Single chain fragments (scFv) derived from the small binding domain of parent monoclonal antibodies (MAb) offer pharmacokinetic advantages and target tumor cells more efficiently than MAb. However, methods for producing multivalent scFv have proven to be very challenging. UC Davis researchers have recently developed a novel method to construct divalent scFv through a small linker using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition chemistry.

Title: Construction of a Multivalent SCFV Through Alkyne-Azide 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition
Usefulness: Construction of a Multivalent SCFV Through Alkyne-Azide 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition
Summary: For treating breast and prostate cancer cells expressing mucin-1 (MUC-1) antigen (claimed).
Novelty: Covalently attaching two proteins to form a conjugate protein for treating breast cancer involves contacting first protein with alkyne moieties with second protein having linking group with terminal azide moiety, to form 1,2,3-triazole
