摘要
The anti-nerve growth factor (NGF) monoclonal antibody alpha D11 is a potent antagonist that neutralizes the biological functions of its antigen in vivo. NGF antagonism is expected to be a highly effective and safe therapeutic approach in many pain states. A comprehensive functional and structural analysis of alpha D11 monoclonal antibody was carried out, showing its ability to neutralize NGF binding to either tropomyosine receptor kinase A (TrkA) or p75 receptors. The 3-D structure of the alpha D11 Fab fragment was solved at 1.7 angstrom resolution. A computational docking model of the alpha D11 Fab-NGF complex, based on epitope mapping using a pool of 44 NGF mutants and experimentally validated by small-angle Xray scattering, provided the structural basis for identifying the residues involved in alpha D11 Fab binding. The present study pinpoints loop II of NGF to be an important structural determinant for NGF biological activity mediated by TrkA receptor. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
