Design Notes

This HER2-binding peptide was chosen as one of the binding domains for our dual targeting peptide is due to the fact that the it binds to a different domain of HER2 which has been found to show a non-competitive binding to another conventional monoclonal antibody drug such as trastuzumab and pertuzumab. This allows synergistical combination of other mAb to tackle drug resistance.


Source

The nanobody is an antigen-binding fragments that are derived from Camelus dromedarius heavy-chain antibodies and have advantageous characteristics compared with mAbs and their derived fragments for in vivo targeting [Hamers-Casterman et al., 1993] The DNA sequence was obtained from D'Huyvetter et al., and has performed condon optimization for prokaryotic expression system (E.Coli-BL21DE3).
