Abstract:
The present invention discloses an anti-human alpha-enolase (ENO1) antibody, which can bind the peptides, comprising amino-acid sequence 296FD Q D D W G A W Q K F TA309 (SEQ ID: #9) and/or 326K R I A K A V N EK S336 (SEQ ID: #10) of human ENO1 protein (GenBank: AAH50642.1), has a favorable binding activity (the binding affinity is around 2.19×10-10 mol/L) and a remarkable capability to inhibit the cell invasion and tumor metastasis of a varied of tumors. The recognized peptides and antibody of the invention are useful for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancers that have been reported to express cell-surface ENO1 such as including lung, breast, pancreas, liver, colorectal, prostate cancers and solid tumors.
Abstract:
This invention relates to bispecific antibodies having combinations of linker and hinge sequences to create linker-hinge interface domains with biological significance. Such linker-hinge interface domains covalently join two molecules, maintain the biological activities of linked molecules (target binding), stabilize the biological characteristics of new molecule (solubility and 4° C. stability), maintain the chemical, biochemical and physical properties (cytotoxicity) of the linked molecules, and modulate the biological characteristics of the linked molecules (activating T-lymphocytes without significant sign of proliferations). Both linker (GGGGS) and hinge (CPPCP) sequences are required to establish functional linker-hinge interface domains as deletion of any of the component resulted in significant lost of T-lymphocyte mediated activity.
