a

Affinity (equilibrium dissociation constant) measurements made by Biacore SPR.

b

Binding to CD4-expressing human PBMCs was determined by FACS; no binding to CD8+/CD4 PBMCs was detected for any Adnectin at concentrations up to 1 μM.

c

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the temperature at which the protein unfolds.

d

Size exclusion chromatography was used to determine the percent monomers.

e

ND, not determined.

f

n = 1 for most measurements made during screening; for the activity and affinity of the final lead Adnectin (6940_B01) and ibalizumab, the average of at least three independent measurements ± 1 standard deviation is reported.

g

Inhibition curves do not surpass 80%.

h

Off-rates were too slow to measure as they were out of the range of the instrument.
