Single-domain antibodies, particularly camelid-derived variable heavy domain of heavy chain (VHH) antibodies, are becoming an increasingly popular choice for bispecific construction due to their single-domain modularity, favorable biophysical properties, and potential to work in multiple antibody formats. Here, we review the use of VHH domains as building blocks in the construction of multispecific antibodies and the challenges in creating optimized molecules. In addition to exploring traditional approaches to VHH development, we review the integration of machine learning techniques at various stages of the process.

Therefore, it is important to identify and quantify glycans during drug development. Glycosylation is a highly complex post-translational modification (PTM) due to its structural heterogeneity, i.e. glycosylation site occupancy, glycan compositions, modifications, and isomers. Current analytical tools compromise either structural resolution or site specificity. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-fluorescence-mass spectrometry (HILIC-FLR-MS) is the gold standard for structural analysis of released glycans, but lacks information on site specificity and occupation. However, HILIC-FLR-MS often uses salt in the solvent, which impairs analysis robustness and sensitivity. Site-specific glycosylation analysis via glycopeptides, upon proteolytic digestion, is commonly performed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS/MS), but provides only compositional and limited structural glycan information. In this study, we introduce a salt-free, glycopeptide-based HILIC-tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) method that provides glycan identification, glycan isomer separation and site-specific information simultaneously. Moreover, HILIC-MS/MS demonstrated comparable relative quantification results as released glycan HILIC-FLR-MS. Further, our new method improves the retention of hydrophilic peptides, allowing simultaneous analysis of important CQAs such as deamidation in antibodies. The developed method offers a valuable tool to streamline the site-specific glycosylation analysis of glycoproteins, which is particularly important for the expanding landscape of novel therapeutic formats in the biopharmaceutical industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":18206,"journal":{"name":"mAbs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11364061/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142080727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immunotherapies, including the marketed antibodies lecanemab (Leqembi®) and donanemab (Kisunla^TM), offer promise but face hurdles due to limited delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This limitation necessitates high doses, resulting in increased costs and a higher risk of side effects. This study explores transferrin receptor (TfR)-binding camelid single-domain antibodies (VHHs) for facilitated brain delivery. We developed and evaluated fusion proteins (FPs) combining VHHs with human IgG Fc domains or single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) of the anti-amyloid-beta (Aβ) antibody 3D6. <i>In vitro</i> assessments showed varying affinities of the FPs for TfR. <i>In vivo</i> evaluations indicated that specific VHH-Fc and VHH-scFv fusions reached significant brain concentrations, emphasizing the importance of optimal TfR binding affinities. The VHH-scFv fusions were further investigated in mouse models with Aβ pathology, showing higher retention compared to wild-type mice without Aβ pathology. Our findings suggest that these novel VHH-based FPs hold potential for therapeutic and diagnostic applications in AD, providing a strategy to overcome BBB limitations and enhance brain targeting of antibody-based treatments.

In this work, we constructed NK cell engagers (NKCEs) based on NKp30-targeting single domain antibodies (sdAbs) that redirect the cytotoxic potential of NK cells toward epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-expressing tumor cells. We investigated the impact of crucial parameters such as sdAb location, binding valencies, the targeted epitope on NKp30, and the overall antibody architecture on the redirection capacity. Our study exploited two NKp30-specific sdAbs, one of which binds a similar epitope on NKp30 as its natural ligand B7-H6, while the other sdAb addresses a non-competing epitope. For EGFR-positive tumor targeting, humanized antigen-binding domains of therapeutic antibody cetuximab were used. We demonstrate that NKCEs bivalently targeting EGFR and bivalently engaging NKp30 are superior to monovalent NKCEs in promoting NK cell-mediated tumor cell lysis and that the architecture of the NKCE can substantially influence killing capacities depending on the NKp30-targeting sdAb utilized. While having a pronounced impact on NK cell killing efficacy, the capabilities of triggering antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis or complement-dependent cytotoxicity were not significantly affected comparing the bivalent IgG-like NKCEs with cetuximab. However, the fusion of sdAbs can have a slight impact on the NK cell release of immunomodulatory cytokines, as well as on the pharmacokinetic profile of the NKCE due to unfavorable spatial orientation within the molecule architecture.

Due to the multi-faceted nature of HOS, the synergy of multiple complementary analytical approaches can substantially improve the understanding, accuracy, and resolution of HOS characterization. In this study, we applied one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometric analysis, as well as circular dichroism (CD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and fluorescence spectroscopy as orthogonal methods, to characterize the impact of methionine (Met) oxidation on the HOS of an IgG1 mAb. We used a forced degradation method involving concentration-dependent oxidation by peracetic acid, in which Met oxidation is site-specifically quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Conventional biophysical techniques report nuanced results, in which CD detects no change to the secondary structure and little change in the tertiary structure. Yet, DSC measurements show the destabilization of Fab and Fc domains due to Met oxidation. More importantly, our study demonstrates that 1D and 2D NMR and chemometric analysis can provide semi-quantitative analysis of chemical modifications and resolve localized conformational changes with high sensitivity. Furthermore, we leveraged a novel ¹⁵N-Met labeling technique of the antibody to directly observe structural perturbations at the oxidation sites.

Using an LPL knockout CHO host cell line, we were able to stably overexpress and purify the remaining candidate hydrolases through orthogonal affinity chromatography methods, enabling their detailed functional characterization. Applying a PS degradation assay, we found nine mostly secreted, PS-active hydrolases with varying hydrolytic activity. All active hydrolases showed a serine-histidine-aspartate/glutamate catalytical triad. Further, we subjected the active hydrolases to pH-screenings and revealed a diverse range of activity optima, which can facilitate the identification of residual hydrolases during bioprocess development.

Among them, biparatopic antibodies (bpAbs) have shown improved efficacy compared to monoclonal antibody (mAb) combinations in HER2-positive patients. BpAbs bind two independent epitopes on the same antigen, which allows fine-tuning of mechanisms of action, including enhancement of on-target specificity and induction of strong antigen clustering due to the unique binding mode. To fully utilize the potential of bpAbs for anti-HER2 drug development, it is crucial to consider formats that offer stability and high-yield production, along with a functional balance between the two epitopes.
