Research Grade Coltuximab

Coltuximab ravtansine (SAR3419) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting CD19 created by conjugating a derivative of the potent microtubule-acting cytotoxic agent, maytansine, to a version of the anti-CD19 antibody, anti-B4, that was humanized as an IgG1 by variable domain resurfacing. Four different linker-maytansinoid constructs were synthesized (average ∼3.5 maytansinoids/antibody for each) to evaluate the impact of linker-payload design on the activity of the maytansinoid-ADCs targeting CD19. Anti-CD19 humanized monoclonal antibody conjugated to DM4.
