CLAIM 12: said multimeric binding complex is formed by binding said monomer to a multivalent entity through specific attachment sites Proimmune Pro5 Pentamer Peptide-MHC complex Multivalent coiled-coil domain Pentameric entity with 5 peptide-MHC complexes capable of binding to T-cell receptor molecules Site where pMHC monomer is specifically bound to the coiled-coil domain
The Pro5 coiled-coil domain is a multivalent entity “Multivalency describes the binding of two (or more) entities that involves the simultaneous interaction between multiple, complementary functionalities on these entities” Mulder et al, Org. and Biomol. Chem., (2004) What holds the coiled-coil domain together? Hydrogen bonds Hydrophobic interactions Multiple, simultaneous interactions between complementary functionalities hold the helices together Acceptor Donor Non-polar surfaces
Multimerization methods in ‘363 specification (6:3-5) “Preferably, the multimer will be formed by binding the monomers to a multivalent entity through specific attachment sites” (6:6-7) “The multimer may also be formed by chemical cross-linkingof the monomers” (6:20-23) “The attachment sitefor binding to a multivalent entity … will be a specific binding pair member or one that is modified to provide a specific binding pair member, where the complementary pair has a multiplicity of specific binding sites.” (6:23-25) “Binding to the complementary binding member can be a chemical reaction, epitope-receptor binding, or hapten-receptor binding. (6:58-59) “The multivalent binding partner may be free in solution, or may be attached to an insoluble support.”
Multivalency Self-multimerization binding epitope Interactions span the length of the helices and exist between all members of the complex receptor Coiled-coil from Pro5 Pentamer specific binding pair There is no “specific binding pair” There is no “multivalent binding partner”
