Table 2.
Setup | Antibody format | KD [nM] | IC50 [nM] |
---|---|---|---|
α-LTX + 2 mM EDTA | MRU44–4-A1 scFv-Fc | 8.4 | n.a. |
MRU44–4-A1 IgG | 6.3 | n.a. | |
MRU44–4-A1 Fab | 1.8 | n.a. | |
α-LTX + 10 mM CaCl2 | MRU44–4-A1 scFv-Fc | 12.2 | 0.56 |
MRU44–4-A1 IgG | 4.2 | 0.35 | |
MRU44–4-A1 Fab | 2.7 | 0.34 |
KD of MRU44–4-A1 to α-LTX was tested in different antibody formats (scFv-Fc, IgG, Fab) and on monomeric/dimeric and tetrameric α-LTX with BLI, by supplementing buffer with either 2 mM EDTA or 10 mM CaCl2, respectively. IC50 values of different MRU44–4-A1 antibody formats were determined in alamarBlue neutralization assay. IC50 were not applicable (n.a.) for 2 mM EDTA, as toxin would not be active and thereby have no pathogenic effects on cells and consequently no IC50 of antibodies determinable. Resulting values were determined by using Origin Hill1 non-linear fit.
