Human CD70 Antibody Family

Human monoclonal antibody (mAb) isotypes against human CD70

Anti-hCD70 mAb functions in cancer
Anti-hCD70 mAb functions in cancer

InvivoGen provides a family of anti-hCD70-derived monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in multiple human isotypes. They feature

  • the variable region of vorsetuzumab targeting the human (h)CD70 and
  • constant region that mediates different effector functions depending on the isotype.

The effector functions of the human isotypes in this family include antibody‑dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). You may choose between:

— IgG1 for high effector functions
     (Anti-hCD70-hIgG1 is the biosimilar of the clinical antibody vorsetuzumab ),

— IgG1fut for even higher effector functions
     (engineered non-fucosylated (fut) constant region), or

— IgG1NQ for no effector functions
     (engineered N-glycosylation mutated constant region).

InvivoGen's mAbs have been generated by recombinant DNA technology, produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, and purified by affinity chromatography.

 

Key features of the Anti-hCD70 isotype family

  • Clinically-relevant variable region targeting human CD70 (vorsetuzumab)
  • Choice of different constant regions for high/low effector functions
  • Functionally validated by flow cytometry and ADCC assay
  • The absence of bacterial contamination has been confirmed

 

Vorsetuzumab is a humanized IgG1 mAb targeting the immune checkpoint (IC) molecule CD70 (aka CD27 ligand or CD27L). This mAb can kill tumor cells through antibody-dependent cell-mediated responses (ADCC & ADCP). In addition, vorsetuzumab can also be conjugated with small molecular antitumor drugs to form a new type of targeted therapeutic molecule called antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with accurate targeting and greater lethality [1].  Currently, a non-fucosylated version of this mAb (SEA-CD70) is undergoing clinical evaluation in a phase I study in patients with myeloid malignancies (NCT04227847) [2]. In the appropriate context of T cell receptor engagement, the interaction of CD27 with its ligand CD70 (also known as CD27L) promotes T cell activation, maturation of effector capacity, and T cell memory [3-4].

InvivoGen’s products are for research use only, and not for clinical or veterinary use.
