Table 1. Examples from literature of various antibody and antibody-drug conjugates’ permeability to the brain in preclinical models, with or without BBB disruption.

Antibody Ab use Drug Model Efficacy Ref.
125I-MAb Tracer - Normal rat brain Permeability was increased with osmotic BBB disruption. Neuwelt et al., 1986 [52]
125I-IgG 96.5125I-FAb 96.5125I-FAb 48.7 · Permeability increased with osmotic BBB disruption.· Enhanced & sustained retention of IgG in the brain. Neuwelt et al., 1987 [53]
L6 IgGF(Ab’)2FAb LX-1 human small-cell lung carcinoma intracerebral xenograft in nude rat Antibody permeability to the brain increased with increased delay in dosing Neuwelt et al.,1994 [54]
L6 IgG-conjugated iron oxine nanoparticles Imaging (MRI) Specific antibody displayed specific binding and potential for diagnostic enhancement of MRI Remsen et al., 1996 [55]
SGN-15 MAb Therapy Doxorubicin Immunoconjugate delivered across the BBB was effective against antigen-positive tumor cells Neuwelt et al., 2003 [56]
Bevacizumab Carboplatin UW28 human glioma xenografts in nude rats Combination therapy of Bevacizumab with carboplatin was more effective than Bevacizumab alone. Jahnke et al., 2009 [57]
RituximabAnti-CD20 Therapy & Imaging (MRI) Rituximabanti-CD20 Lymphoma rat model Rituximab was effective at decreasing tumor volume and improving survival rate in a CNS lymphoma model Muldoon et al., 2011 [58]
TDM1 Therapy Emantsine Her2+ BT474 or MDA-MB-361 CNS metastases in nude mice TDM1 displayed increased survival rate in comparison to trastuzumab Askoxylakis et al., 2015 [46]
89Zr-trastuzumabmuMAb 4D5TDM1 Tracer& Therapy Emantsine HER2-expressing transgenic Fo2-1282 or Fo5 mouse breast cancer in mice · Trastuzumab displayed preferential uptake in tumor lessions· muMAb 4D5 and TDM1 significantly increased survival, as did combination therapy with PI3K/mTOR inhibitor GNE-317 Phillips et al., 2017 [59]
