Abstract: A system for generating a model for predicting a molecular property of a variant of a molecule is provided. For each of a plurality of variants of the molecule, the system for each structural feature, aggregates the values for the structural features of the residues of the molecule that were modified to form the variant to form a feature vector for the variant. The system assigns the value for the molecular property of the variant to the feature vector wherein the feature vector and the assigned value form training data. The system then generates the model for predicting a value for the molecular property using the training data for the plurality of variants.

Abstract: NEO-201 is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that is highly reactive against the majority of tumor tissues from many different carcinomas, including colon, pancreatic, stomach, lung, breast, and uterine cancers, but the overwhelming majority of normal tissues are not recognized by this antibody. Functional assays revealed that NEO-201 is capable of mediating both antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) against tumor cells. Furthermore, the growth of human pancreatic xenograft tumors in vivo was largely attenuated by treatment with NEO-201 both alone and in combination with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) as an effector cell source for ADCC. In vivo biodistribution studies in human tumor xenograft-bearing mice revealed that NEO-201 preferentially accumulates in the tumor but not organ tissue.
