  • Publication number: 20170260253
    Abstract: Cysteine engineered antibodies comprising a free cysteine amino acid in the heavy chain or light chain are prepared by mutagenizing a nucleic acid sequence of a parent antibody and replacing one or more amino acid residues by cysteine to encode the cysteine engineered antibody; expressing the cysteine engineered antibody; and isolating the cysteine engineered antibody. Certain highly reactive cysteine engineered antibodies were identified by the PHESELECTOR assay. Isolated cysteine engineered antibodies may be covalently attached to a capture label, a detection label, a drug moiety, or a solid support.

  • Publication number: 20150017094
    Abstract: Antibodies are engineered by replacing one or more amino acids of a parent antibody with non cross-linked, highly reactive cysteine amino acids. Antibody fragments may also be engineered with one or more cysteine amino acids to form cysteine engineered antibody fragments (ThioFab). Methods of design, preparation, screening, and selection of the cysteine engineered antibodies are provided. Cysteine engineered antibodies (Ab) are conjugated with one or more zirconium complex (Z) labels through a linker (L) to form cysteine engineered zirconium-labeled antibody conjugates having Formula I: Ab-(L-Z)p??I where p is 1 to 4. Imaging methods and diagnostic uses for zirconium-radiolabeled, cysteine engineered antibody conjugate compositions are disclosed.
