| Sumario: | Abstract ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motif 13)-related bleeding disorder has been frequently observed as a life-threatening clinical complication in patients carrying a circulatory assist device. Currently, treatment modalities for the bleeding disorder are very limited and not always successful. To address the unmet medical need, we constructed humanized antibodies of mouse anti-ADAMTS13 antibody A10 (mA10) by using complementarity-determining region (CDR) grafting techniques with human antibody frameworks, 8A7 and 16E8. The characteristics of the two humanized A10 antibodies, namely A10/8A7 and A10/16E8, were assessed in vitro and in silico. Among the two humanized A10 antibodies, the binding affinity of A10/16E8 to ADAMTS13 was comparable to that of mA10 and human-mouse chimeric A10. In addition, A10/16E8 largely inhibited the ADAMTS13 activity in vitro. The results indicated that A10/16E8 retained the binding affinity and inhibitory activity of mA10. To compare the antibody structures, we performed antibody structure modeling and structural similarity analysis in silico. As a result, A10/16E8 showed higher structural similarity to mA10, compared with A10/8A7, suggesting that A10/16E8 retains a native structure of mA10 as well as its antigen binding affinity and activity. A10/16E8 has great potential as a therapeutic agent for ADAMTS13-related bleeding disorder. |
