MGD019 Molecular Structure and Bispecific Binding to PD-1 and CTLA-4
(A) MGD019 is a tetravalent bispecific (2 × 2) Fc-bearing DART molecule.
(B) Binding of MGD019 (red diamonds), parental PD-1 mAb retifanlimab (blue squares), parental CTLA-4 mAb 4B6 (green triangles), or isotype control (black circles) to Jurkat/PD-1 cells and blockade of PD-L1 binding to the cells.
(C) Binding to Jurkat/CTLA-4 cells and blockade of B7-1 binding to the cells.
(D) Re-activation of β-galactosidase (β-gal) upon co-engagement of PD-1 and CTLA-4 by MGD019 in PathHunter PD-1+CTLA-4+ assay. Error bars depict standard errors of the mean (SEMs).
(E) Binding to in vitro-stimulated, PD-1+/CTLA-4+ primary T cells and blockade of B7.1 binding to Jurkat PD-1+/CTLA-4+ cells.
(F) Blockade B7.1 binding to Jurkat PD-1+/CTLA-4+ by MGD019 or CTLA-4 mAbs alone or in the presence of a 10× concentration of competing PD-1 mAbs (open red diamonds and purple crosses, respectively).
(G) Interaction of MGD019 with single- and dual-expressing cells. Average (EC50) values of PD-1 (blue) and CTLA-4 (yellow) ligand binding blockade (Table S1). Representative experiments out of ≥3 independent repeats are shown in (B)–(F).
