  • We reported that fusion of the N-terminal association subdomain of collagen XVIII NC1, responsible for the non-covalent trimerization of collagen XVIII alpha chains, to the C-terminus of a scFv antibody confers a trimeric state to the fused antibody ( "trimerbody").

  • Structural analysis of the NC1 domain of collagen XVIII suggests that it consists of three segments, an N-terminal trimerization domain implicated in self-assembly of homotrimers; a central protease-sensitive hinge region; and the compact C-terminal endostatin domain

  • The structure of the N-terminal trimerization domain of murine collagen XVIII NC1 was obtained from ModBase

  • These antibodies, termed "trimerbodies", use the N-terminal association subdomain of collagen XVIII NC1, responsible for the non-covalent trimerization of collagen alpha chains, to drive multimerization
