摘要
Bispecific antibody targeting of two different antigens is promising, but when fragment-based antibodies are used, homogeneous production is difficult. To overcome this difficulty, we developed a method using the SpyTag/SpyCatcher system in which a covalent bond is formed between the two polypeptides. Using this method, we constructed a bispecific antibody that simultaneously interacted with two different epitopes of roundabout homologue 1 (ROBO1), a membrane protein associated with cancer progression. A bispecific tetravalent antibody with an additional functional moiety was also constructed by using a dimeric biotin-binding protein. An interaction analysis of ROBO1-expressing cells and the recombinant antigen demonstrated the improved binding ability of the bispecific antibodies through spontaneous binding of the two antibody fragments to their respective epitopes. In addition, multivalency delayed dissociation, which is advantageous in therapy and diagnosis.
