InvivoGen provides a family of anti-hCD27-derived monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in multiple human isotypes.

They feature:

  • the variable region of varlilumab targeting the human cluster of differentiation 27 (hCD27)
  • constant region that mediates different effector functions depending on the isotype.
     

The effector functions of the human isotypes in this family include antibody‑dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). You may choose between:

— IgG1 for high effector functions
     (Anti-hCD27-hIgG1 is the biosimilar of the clinical antibody varlilumab),

— IgG1fut for even higher effector functions
     (engineered non-fucosylated (fut) constant region), or

— IgG1NQ for no effector functions
     (engineered N-glycosylation mutated constant region).

InvivoGen's mAbs have been generated by recombinant DNA technology, produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, and purified by affinity chromatography. 
 

Key features of the Anti-hCD27 isotype family

  • Clinically-relevant variable region targeting human CD27 (varlilumab)
  • Choice of different constant regions for high/low effector functions
  • Functionally validated by flow cytometry and ELISA
  • The absence of bacterial contamination has been confirmed

 

Varlilumab is a fully human agonist anti-CD27-hIgG1 mAb that activates the costimulatory molecule CD27 [1]. This receptor is constitutively expressed on the majority of mature T cells. In the appropriate context of T cell receptor engagement, the interaction of CD27 with its ligand CD70 (also known as CD27L) promotes T cell activation, maturation of effector capacity, and T cell memory [1-2]. This interaction became of interest to immunologists as a co-stimulatory immune checkpoint (IC) molecule and is the target of an anti-cancer drug in clinical trials [2].

InvivoGen’s products are for research use only, and not for clinical or veterinary use.
