Introduction to Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC)

Introduction to Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC)

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are formed by linking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with small molecule drugs through linkers. The specificity of mAbs for tumor cells allows small molecule drugs to act effectively within tumor tissues, significantly reducing the high toxic side effects of traditional small molecule drugs and enhancing overall therapeutic efficiency. Currently, there are 13 ADC … Read more

Analysis of Six Classic Point-Coupling Technologies for ADC

ADC drug conjugation refers to the method of linking various components of ADC, which determines the drug-antibody conjugation ratio (DAR) and homogeneity, affecting the drug’s activity, tolerance, and stability. It is generally divided into random coupling and site-specific coupling. Non-Site-Specific Coupling Common methods include coupling at Lys residues and Cys residues. Site-Specific Coupling, which includes … Read more

Overview of ADC, Antibody, and Linker Selection

Overview of ADC, Antibody, and Linker Selection

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consist of linkers, payloads, and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). They combine the advantages of high specificity targeting and potent cytotoxic effects, achieving precise and efficient elimination of cancer cells, making them a hot topic in cancer drug development. Since the first ADC drug Mylotarg® was approved by the FDA in 2000, as of … Read more

Review of ADC Drugs: Current Status and Future Directions

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are one of the fastest-developing treatments in the field of oncology, with 15 ADCs already approved and over 210 currently undergoing clinical trials. In recent years, the development of ADC drugs has entered a flourishing phase, especially demonstrating significant efficacy and good safety profiles against targets such as HER2, EGFR, Trop2, CLDN18.2, … Read more

Nanobodies: A New Generation of Antibodies

Nanobodies: A New Generation of Antibodies

Nanobodies(Nanobody, Nbs) are a new member of the antibody family, characterized by their relatively small molecular weight, ease of humanization, high affinity, high stability, microbial expression capability, low immunogenicity, strong penetration ability, and good solubility. They have attracted significant attention in basic medical research as well as disease diagnosis and treatment. Introduction to Nanobodies 1. … Read more
