Very Few Substitutions in a Germ Line Antibody Are Required To Initiate Significant Domain Exchange
12 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
2G12 is a broadly neutralizing anti-HIV-1 monoclonal human IgG1 antibody reactive with a high-mannose glycan cluster on the surface of glycoprotein gp120. A key feature of this very highly mutated antibody is domain exchange of the heavy-chain variable region (V(H)) with the V(H) of the adjacent Fab of the same immunoglobulin, which assembles a multivalent binding interface composed of two primary binding sites...
