Codon Optimization> | Cloning, Generation of variants, Expression, and Purification of mAbs The bevacizumab genes, synthesized by Genscript (Piscataway, NJ), were codon- optimized for expression in mammalian cells and subsequently subcloned separately into the vector gWiz (Genlantis, Torreyana San Diego) using the Gibson method, resulting in the vectors gWiz-A-LC and gWiz-A-HC. | Get A Quote |
The aggregation of biotherapeutics is a major hindrance to the development of successful drug candidates; however, the propensity to aggregate is often identified too late in the development phase to permit modification to the protein's sequence. Incorporating rational design for the stability of proteins in early discovery has numerous benefits. We engineered out aggregation-prone regions on the Fab domain of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody, bevacizumab, to rationally design a biobetter drug candidate. With the purpose of stabilizing bevacizumab with respect to aggregation, 2 strategies were undertaken: single point mutations of aggregation-prone residues and engineering a glycosylation site near aggregation...
