Binding kinetics of m22 and m24 to gp140R2 and gp14089.6 measured by Biacore.
The experiments were performed as described in the Materials and Methods - m22 and m24 were injected (30 μL/min) at different concentrations (50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 3.125 nM) over a CM5 sensor chip, containing captured gp140R2 and gp14089.6 (tethered). The association, ka, and dissociation, kd, rate constants were calculated by fitting both association and dissociation phases with a 1:1 Langmuir global model using BIAevaluation 4.1 software, and the equilibrium dissociation constant, KD, was determined from their ratio.
