Defining the epitope of a blood–brain barrier crossing single domain antibody specific for the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor

Abstract excerpt

Ligand-activated signaling through the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) is implicated in many physiological processes ranging from normal human growth to cancer proliferation and metastasis. IGF1R has also emerged as a target for receptor-mediated transcytosis, a transport phenomenon that can be exploited to shuttle biotherapeutics across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We employed differential...
