Glycan optimization of a human monoclonal antibody in the aquatic plant Lemna minor
Article Abstract:
Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are expressed in the small aquatic plant Lemna minor, which has offered many advantages for manufacturing therapeutic proteins free of zoonotic pathogens. The resultant mAbs has contained a single major N-glycan species without detectable plant-specific N-glycans and had better antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and effector cell receptor binding activities than mAbs expressed in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.

Small antibody mimetics comprising two complementarity-determining regions and a framework region for tumor targeting
Article Abstract:
The fusion of two complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), [V.sub.H]CDR1 and [V.sub.L]CDR3, through a cognate framework region ([V.sub.H]FR2) has produced mimetics that have retained the antigen recognition of their parent molecules, but have a superior capacity to penetrate tumors. The rational recombination of selected [V.sub.H]/[V.sub.L] binding sites and their framework regions have provided useful moieties for cytotoxic cancer therapies.

Monoclonal antibody therapy of cancer
Article Abstract:
An overview of mAb therapy of cancer, emphasizing few advances that have clarified the utility of mAbs to treat common malignancies such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer and lymphoma, is provided. These successes have energized and informed the development of many new antibodies that target previously tested and new targets for cancer therapy.
