ADCs thus offer increased therapeutic efficacy and lower toxicity compared to conventional chemotherapy. Bioconjugation of a highly active therapeutic agent to an antibody is one of the key steps in producing ADCs. The most advanced ADC technologies are based on the production of stoichiometrically homogeneous bioconjugates. Enzymatic modification of antibodies using microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) enables the production of biopharmaceuticals with standardized pharmacokinetic, physicochemical, and therapeutic properties. However, side reactions catalyzed by free mTGase in solution reduce the yield and purity of ADCs. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of various approaches to mTGase immobilization: streptavidin-biotin interaction, the use of an epoxy-activated polymer, and self-immobilization of mTGase. The highest bioconjugation activity was observed when using streptavidin-modified magnetic particles and biotinylated mTGase. However, mTGase self-immobilization on AH-Sepharose 4B or immobilization using epoxy-activated agarose ensures comparable efficiency in enzymatic antibody modification and is the most rational route from the perspective of process scalability.

Double Cdk8/19 knockout macrophages are characterized by an exacerbated anti-inflammatory response while preserving normal lipid accumulation and phagocytosis levels. Inhibition of CDK8/19 kinase activity reproduces these effects only partially, suggesting that both kinase-dependent and kinase-independent mechanisms of action exist.

Targeted tumor therapy using antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has already demonstrated its efficacy in multiple tumors. Ganglioside GD2 is a promising target for ADC development.

This study focuses on the mechanisms of receptor-mediated endocytosis for the conjugate formed between the anti-GD2 antibody ch14.18 and monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), as well as the approaches for modulating this process using endocytosis inhibitors. Our findings demonstrate that anti-GD2 ADCs are efficiently internalized into tumor cells through various endocytic pathways, including the clathrin- and caveolin-mediated pathways, as well as macropinocytosis. The efficiency of ADC accumulation directly correlates with the level of GD2 expression on the tumor cell surface and is determined by the properties of the parental antibody, independent of the cytotoxic payload.
