[0254] Example 1: Comparing the Binding Affinity of Cetuximab (ERBITUX) and HU225 to EGFR

[0255] The relative binding affinities of cetuximab and hu225 to EGFR were determined by competition assay using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). A431 cells were grown to 2 × 10 on a V-bottom 96-well plate 5 cells / well. Cells were washed with FACS staining buffer (FSB). Starting with an initial concentration of 10 μg / mL of each competing antibody (unlabeled cetuximab and hu225), serial 1:3 dilutions were performed. Biotin-labeled cetuximab was diluted to a final concentration of 0.5 μg / mL (obtained from titration results). Next, biotin-labeled cetuximab was mixed with various concentrations of either competing antibody, and the mixture was transferred to a 96-well plate containing A431 cells. Plates were then incubated on ice for 1 hour, followed by two washes with FSB. 25 μL of streptavidin-RPE conjugate (Biosource) diluted to 2.5 μg / mL in FSB was added to each well and...

[0257] Example 2: Identification of HU225 variants with increased affinity for EGFR

[0258] Comprehensive mutation analysis was performed on the hu225 antibody to identify mutants with increased affinity for EGFR compared to wild-type hu225. Candidate high affinity mutants with increased affinity for EGFR compared to hu225 were analyzed by FACS to demonstrate relative increased binding to EGFR compared to hu225.

[0259] 1. Materials and Methods

[0260] To determine the binding of individual variants to EGFR, under subsaturated conditions (below K D ), and the degree of binding was quantified by FACS. Individual hu225 variants were constructed in mammalian cell surface display vectors (Akamatsu et al., 2007, J. Immunol. Methods 327(1-2):40-52) and transfected into in human cell lines. 50 μL of hybridoma-serum-free medium (SFM) containing 400 ng of plasmid DNA was mixed with 50 μL of hybridoma-SFM containing 1 μL of lipofectamine 2000 (Lipofectamine 2000), and incubated a...

[0265] Example 3: Further Characterization of HU225 Variants with Increased Affinity to EGFR (ELISA, ALPHALISA and BIACORE research)

[0266] 1. Materials and Methods

[0267] To determine the binding of individual variants to EGFR, under subsaturated conditions (below K D ), and the degree of binding was quantified by FACS (as described in Example 2 above), ELISA, alphaLISA and / or BIAcore.

[0268] ELISA involves the attachment of capture antibodies to a solid support, upon which an antigen-containing sample is added to a matrix or buffer suitable to minimize attachment to the solid phase. Enzyme-labeled antibodies are then added to detect and determine binding affinity. ELISA can be used to determine the binding affinity of individual variants (eg, anti-EGFR antibodies or antibody-binding fragments of the invention) to EGFR. See, eg, Patel et al., Anticancer Research 27, No. 5A:3355-3366, 2007; and Nix et al., "Immunoassays, a Practical Approach )”, J.P. Gosling, ed., pp...
