The humanised HMFG-1 immunoglobulin has been extensively developed as a clinical immunotherapeutic agent for MUCI expressing tumours. We have constructed a single-chain Fv (scFv) and Fab fragment from this antibody and shown that both these species retain their specificity for MUCI. The scFv was less stable and less soluble than the Fab. Detailed analyses of the binding kinetics of the whole IgG and Fab fragment show that the affinity for MUCI synthetic peptides is low ( approximately 100 nM for the IgG and 10 mu M for the Fab), with particularly low but similar dissociation rate constants (0.031 - 0.095 s(-1)). Binding to native antigen on the cell surface is over two orders of magnitude better. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy shows that both the IgG and Fab are internalised rapidly ( the IgG is internalised within 15 min) and colocalise to early endosomes. This work provides an appreciation of the binding, internalising and trafficking kinetics, important for the development of future therapeutics based on this antibody.
