  • Publication number: 20220226488
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs that include at least one non-natural amino acid, and methods for making such non-natural amino acids and polypeptides. The Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs can include a wide range of possible functionalities, but typically have at least one oxime, carbonyl, dicarbonyl, and/or hydroxylamine group. Also disclosed herein are non-natural amino acid Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs that are further modified post-translationally, methods for effecting such modifications, and methods for purifying such Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs. Typically, the modified Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs include at least one oxime, carbonyl, dicarbonyl, and/or hydroxylamine group.
