This ADC product is comprised of an anti-S. aureus ClfA monoclonal antibody conjugated via a MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2) linker to duocarmycin SA. The duocarmycin SA is targeted to certain cancers by immunerecognition and delivered into cancer cells via receptor mediated endocytosis. Within the cell, duocarmycin SA binds to DNA, causes DNA damage.
ADC Target
- Alternative Names
- S. aureus ClfA
- Overview
- S. aureus may occur as a commensal on skin; it also occurs in the nose frequently (in about a third of the population) and the throat less commonly; S. aureus can infect other tissues when barriers have been breached. S. aureus infections may spread through contact with pus from an infected wound, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person by producing hyaluronidase that destroys tissues, and contact with objects such as towels, sheets, clothing, or athletic equipment used by an infected person. Deeply penetrating S. aureus infections can be severe. ClfA is a 92 kDa surface protein identified from S. aureus. ClfA is responsible for the fibrinogen-dependent c1umping of bacteria.
ADC Antibody
- Overview
- Humanized Anti-S. aureus ClfA IgG1-kappa antibody, Tefibazumab
ADC Linker
- Name
- MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)
- Description
- Peptide linkers, belonging to Enzymatically cleavable linkers, combine greater systemic stability with rapid enzymatic release of the drug in the target cell. The scission of peptidic bonds relies on lysosomal proteolytic enzymes, which have very low activities in blood due to endogenous inhibitors and the unfavorably high pH value of blood.
ADC payload drug
- Description
- Duocarmycins SA belong to the minor-groove-binding DNA-alkylating agents (DNA MGBA). The natural duocarmycins are isolated from the culture broth of Streptmyces sp and a series of derivatives has also been synthesized.
