Site-Specific Dual Antibody Conjugation via Engineered Cysteine and Selenocysteine Residues.

ABSTRACT: Site-specific conjugation technologies enable the production of homogeneous antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with improved therapeutic indices compared to conventional ADCs. However, current site-specific conjugation methods can only attach one type of drug to a single antibody. Given the emergence of acquired resistance to current ADCs, arming single antibodies with different drugs may provide an attractive option in the development of next-generation ADCs. Here, we describe a site-specific dual conjugation strategy as a platform for dual warhead ADCs.
