Non-Fucosylated Anti-Human HER2 ([fam]-trastuzumab deruxtecan) Therapeutic Antibody, an ADCC-Enhanced Biobetter (CAT#: BioBet-1772ZP) Datasheet

ERBB2

erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2

This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases. This protein has no ligand binding domain of its own and therefore cannot bind growth factors. However, it does bind tightly to other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members to form a heterodimer, stabilizing ligand binding and enhancing kinase-mediated activation of downstream signalling pathways, such as those involving mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Allelic variations at amino acid positions 654 and 655 of isoform a (positions 624 and 625 of isoform b) have been reported, with the most common allele, Ile654/Ile655, shown here. Amplification and/or overexpression of this gene has been reported in numerous cancers, including breast and ovarian tumors. Alternative splicing results in several additional transcript variants, some encoding different isoforms and others that have not been fully characterized.

This clone was generated using a stable CHO cell line with the FUT8 knockout gene. It was 100% non-fucosylated. In an in vitro cell-based ADCC assay, the afucosylated antibody clone showed significantly higher ADCC activity compared to its wild type version. The binding affinity of the non-fucosylated Fc variant antibody to Fc receptor is much higher than than the same antibody with fucosylated Fc. Robust and stable production of qualitative fully non-fucosylated therapeutic antibodies is achieved.
