Design and Expression of a Dimeric Form of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Antibody 2G12 with Increased Neutralization Potency
23 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
The antigen-binding fragment of the broadly neutralizing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) antibody 2G12 has an unusual three-dimensional (3D) domain-swapped structure with two aligned combining sites that facilitates recognition of its carbohydrate epitope on gp120. When expressed as an intact immunoglobulin G (IgG), 2G12 formed typical IgG monomers containing two combining sites and a small fraction...
