Short Description

This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human Fab format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.

Application Notes

The PEGylated Fab fragment of the antibody has been approved by the FDA as a biologic against TNFα. The original format of the antibody was used for in vitro and in vivo studies, where it showed to neutralize the activity of TNFα. Further, the antibody was effective and well tolerated by patients with RA (Choy et al, 2002; PMID: 12364632). The structure of Fab fragment of the antibody in complex with human TNFα was determined. The binding affinity of the Fab fragment to TNFα was measured by surface plasmon resonance (Kd= 0.2 pM) (Lee et al., 2017; PMID: 28124979). The specificity of the original format of the antibody was confirmed by ELISA analysis (US7012135). The original format of the antibody bound and neutralised both soluble and membrane-bound forms of TNFα. The pharmacokinetic properties of the PEGylate Fab fragments in vivo resulted in a half-life of 14 days. Isothermal titration calorimetry data showed that the original format of the antibody bound to 2.9 monomers in a TNFα trimer at saturation. The antibody was employed in in vivo studies in rats, primates and humans. Several clinical trials have also been conducted to examine the efficacy and tolerability of the original format of the antibody in patients with CD, RA and psoriasis (Filipovica et al., 2009).
