Figure 3. Verification of antigen recognition by hybrid bsAbs.

Figure 3

The presence of GL117-A20 bsAb (a) and 1C10-A20 bsAb (b) was verified by simultaneous recognition of anti-rat IgG and anti-mouse IgG in ELISA assay 1 as visualized by an increase in the OD reading at 450 nm compared to parental mAbs. Antigen recognition of β-gal and recognition by an anti-mouse IgG antibody was determined in ELISA assay 2 showing the presence of hybrid GL117-A20 bsAb after binding of the GL117 binding arm to β-gal and the A20 binding arm to anti-mouse IgG (c). CD40 specificity and subsequent recognition by an anti-mouse IgG antibody was determined in ELISA assay 3 and this showed the presence of 1C10-A20 bsAb by the binding of the 1C10-binding arm to CD40 and the A20 binding arm to anti-mouse IgG (d). Flow cytometric analysis on viable CD40L cells showed an increase in median fluorescence after incubation with 1C10-A20 bsAb but not GL117-A20 bsAb (e). Neg CTL  =  negative control.
