Analysis Affinity of Human Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) with Tanezumab by KinExA (CAT#: STEM-MB-0036-CJ)

Introduction

Human nerve growth factor (NGF) can be involved in the transmission and sensation of inflammation and neuropathic pain, and anti-NGF treatment can relieve these symptoms. tanezumab, meanwhile, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that neutralizes NGF and is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic pain, and NGF binds to tanezumab very reliably.




Principle

KinExA is a two-stage analysis system. In the first stage, a number of solutions are prepared, where one partner remains constant (constant binding partner, or CBP) and the other (titrant) is variable, usually serially diluted. As the titrant is added, the free CBP decreases and is analysed by a sophisticated and precise microfluorescence measurement device. The signal generated can be mathematically related to the affinity (KD) of the two molecules for each other, as well as the kinetic parameters of binding (kon) and dissociation (koff).

Applications

Immunology/Inflammation;Pharmacology

Procedure

1. preparation of the functionalized beads which will capture the analyte for measuremen.
2. preparation of a series of solutions consisting of a constant initial concentration of one component of the binary reaction and serial dilutions of the other reactant. The component that is kept constant is the constant binding partner (CBP) , and is the one which will be analyzed.
3. each reaction mixture is sampled and the fluorescence of free CBP bound to the capture beads is obtained for subsequent numerical analysis.
