Disclosed herein are methods for high-throughput screening of a functional antibody fragment for an immunoconjugate that targets a protein antigen. The method combines a phage-displayed synthetic antibody library and high-throughput cytotoxicity screening of non-covalently assembled immunotoxins or cytotoxic drug to identify highly functional synthetic antibody fragments for delivering toxin payloads.

High-throughput screening of functional antibody fragments, immunoconjugate comprising the same, and adaptor-drug conjugate for screening

Disclosed herein is an immunoconjugate comprising an antibody, a functional motif, and a linker connecting the functional motif to the antibody. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the antibody may recognize tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), and serves as a targeting module for delivering the functional motif connected therewith to the tumor cells thereby inhibiting tumor growth or detecting the distribution of tumor cells. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating cancers and methods of diagnosing cancers by use of the present immunoconjugate.

Immunoconjugate and uses thereof

Disclosed herein is a phage-displayed single-chain variable fragment (scFv) library, which comprises a plurality of phage-displayed scFvs characterized in having a specific CS combination and a specific sequence in each CDR. The present scFv library is useful in efficiently producing different antibodies with binding affinity to different antigens. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a potential means to generate different antigen-specific antibodies promptly in accordance with the need in experimental researches and/or clinical applications.
