ADC linker technology and the release mechanism.

ADC Linker Technology Release Mechanism
Disulfide Designed to be cleaved through disulfide exchange with an intracellular thiol, such as glutathione.
Hydrazone Designed for serum stability and degradation in acidic compartments within the cytoplasm.
Peptide Designed to be enzymatically hydrolyzed by lysosomal proteases such as cathepsin B.
Theoeither Nonreducible and designed for intracellular proteolytic degradation.
