Comparative Characterization of Different Molecular Formats of Bispecific Antibodies Targeting EGFR and PD-L1.

ABSTRACT: We generated two IgG1-like bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) with different molecular formats, symmetrical DVD-Ig and asymmetrical knob-in-hole (KIH), targeting the same antigens, EGFR and PD-L1 (designated as anti-EGFR/PD-L1). We performed the physiochemical and biological characterization of these two formats of anti-EGFR/PD-L1 BsAbs and compared some key quality attributes and biological activities of these two formats of BsAbs. Physiochemical binding characterization data demonstrated that both formats bound EGFR and PD-L1. However, the binding affinity of the KIH format was weaker than the DVD-Ig format in Biacore binding assays. In contrast, both DVD-Ig and KIH BsAbs had similar ELISA and cell surface binding activities, comparable to mAbs. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and
