As an industrial leader in therapeutic antibody development, Creative biolabs has extensive experience in antibody effector activity characterization. We employ our comprehensive in vitro efficacy analysis platform to give a full evaluation of the ADC in vitro efficacy contributed by the effector activities of the antibody portion.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a unique class of novel anti-tumor agents produced by the conjugation of highly cytotoxic drug payloads with tumor specific monoclonal antibodies via elaborate chemical linkers. They are usually defined as the “next generation” targeted medicine. By design, an ADC functions through the internalization via receptor mediated endocytosis upon antigen binding and deliver the cytotoxic drugs to their corresponding subcellular targets. The major cytotoxicity, or “efficacy”, of an ADC resides in the toxic “war-head” it carries. However, an ideal ADC should also harvest the “endogenous” toxicity of the antibody Fc region to recruit effector cells/molecules and achieve a “secondary” tumor killing efficacy via various mechanisms such as antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP)…. What’s more, the antibody portion of an ADC can also lead to the uptake of tumor associated antigens by antigen-presenting cells and establish T cell memory effect.
Creative biolabs provides various antibody dependent cytotoxicity assays to fully evaluate the effector activities of any customized ADCs. Our assays mainly include:
Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)
Complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) or complement dependent cellular cytotoxicity (CDCC)
Antibody dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP)
Fc effector activities, a secondary cell killing mechanism that contributes to ADC efficacy. The effector activities (ADCC, CDCC and CDC) reside at the Fc portion of the monoclonal antibody in an ADC and adds to its efficacy by recruiting numerous effector factors and inducing tumor cell killing by the immune system (Bioscience Rep, 2015).
With years of accumulative work in antibody discovery, pharmaceutical chemistry synthesis, and therapeutics analysis, Creative biolabs has established an advanced analytical platform to provide our global customers with integrated antibody-drug conjugates characterization services in a timely and cost efficient manner.
