How to produce neutralizing antibody (NAb) (production) Antibodies are made by B-cells in the bone marrow. Bone marrow has been long thought to be a hematopoietic organ. When B-cells are created, they begin to produce antibodies that will bind to specific antigens. Antigen-specific antibody producing, long-term lived plasma cells are largely found in the bone […]

Definition–What is neutralizing antibody (NAb)? A neutralizing antibody (NAb) is an antibody that is responsible for defending cells from pathogens, which are organisms that cause disease. They are produced naturally by the body as part of its immune response, and their production is triggered by both infections and vaccinations against infections1. A neutralising antibody rapid […]
Drug discovery against infectious disease requires the standard biological assays. The biological assay for viral disease is depends on the infection of cultured cells with virus and observation of its effect by microscopic techniques, viral load quantification using plaque assay, or reverse transcription-PCR. This conventional method is time consuming and limits the screening of large […]
Measles virus (MeV) neutralizing antibodies (NAb) Measles virus (MeV) causes an extremely transmissible respiratory disease and it has also been used as an oncolytic platform. MeV enter into the cells through the cellular receptors such as SLAM (signaling lymphocyte-activating molecule) and PVRL4 (poliovirus receptor-like 4) (nectin-4). Hence, the antibodies against PVRL4 could block measles virus infections. […]
The repeated units of protein monomer on the VLP surface are a strong immunogen. Compared to subunit peptides or proteins, epitopes on the VLPs surface have the natural structure to stimulate the B- and T-cell immune response. Moreover, repetitive epitope on the surface of VLPs stimulate the strong adaptive immunity without the help of adjuvants. […]
SDS-PAGE We need run SDS-PAGE(reducing and non-reducing DTT) to see the integrity of antibody and Preliminary observation of the connection of small molecules. In general, we can see that the conjugated antibody will shift upward compared with the naked antibody DAR (methods and standard) ADC drugs are essentially a mixture, which is composed of mAbs […]
In addition to thiomonoclonal antibody technology, the addition of non-standard amino acids (NCAA) provides another possibility for site-specific coupling. The technology uses amino acids with unique chemical structure, which can introduce linker payload complexes in a chemically selective manner. This technique requires the recombination of antibody sequences, using tRNA and aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (AARS) orthogonal […]
Site specific biological coupling of engineered antibodies Advances in bioorthogonal chemistry and protein engineering contribute to the generation of more uniform ADCs. Although there are many attachment methods available on natural monoclonal antibodies, site-specific biological coupling on engineered antibodies can more effectively control Dar and avoid changing the affinity for antigen binding. In this […]
Glycan coupling Because IgG is a glycoprotein, it contains an N-glycan at n297 of CH2 domain of each heavy chain of Fc fragment. This glycosylation can be used as the attachment point of connecting payload. The long-distance localization between polysaccharide and Fab region reduces the risk of damaging the antigen binding ability of antibody after […]
Endogenous coupling of amino acids One of the most common coupling methods is to use the lysine residue of the antibody, the amino acid nucleophilic NH2 group, to react with the electrophilic N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) Group on the lik payload. Although the reaction is simple, the high abundance of available lysine residues leads to the formation […]
