Isolation of anti-CLDN18.2 VHH variants. (A) Amino acid sequences of anti-CLDN18.2 VHHs. Sequences are presented using one-letter amino acid abbreviations. DNAMAN was used to generate the alignment. Complementarity determining regions (CDRs) are shown. Four hydrophilic amino acids (Tyr42, Glu/Gln49, Arg50 and Leu/Phe52) critical for humanization are indicated with red arrows. (B) Schematic composition of hu7v3-Fc structure in this study. Anti CLDN18.2 VHH hu7v3 is indicated in orange, and the human IgG1 Fc domain including the hinge, CH2 and CH3 domains is indicated in gray.
