Drug conjugates targeting HER2 based on engineered affibody molecules

Affibody molecules are small, engineered scaffold affinity proteins that can be site-specifically loaded with cytotoxic drugs, producing homogenous conjugates with a desired drug-to-affibody ratio. The presentation will focus on targeting HER2 with affibody-based drug conjugates. It will describe how variations in the type of cytotoxic payload, both tubulin and topoisomerase inhibitors, as well as the drug load per affibody, influence biodistribution and in vivo cytotoxic efficacy.
