Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods for evolving or selecting or producing therapeutic proteins that exhibit reduced adverse side-effects and the resulting proteins are provided. For example, provided herein is an in vitro assay to identify conditionally active therapeutic proteins that exhibit better activity within one in vivo environment compared to another in vivo environment. The methods include the steps of a) testing the activity of a protein under conditions in which normal or increased activity is desired; b) testing the activity of the protein under conditions in which reduced activity compared to normal is desired; and c) comparing the activity in a) with b) and selecting/identifying a protein that has greater activity in a) compared to b). The selected/identified protein is a conditionally active protein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An in vitro method for identifying/selecting a modified therapeutic protein that treats tumors and that has greater activity in a tumor microenvironment in a subject compared to a non-tumor environment in the subject, comprising: 1) testing the binding activity of a plurality of modified therapeutic anti-tumor proteins to the target of the therapeutic anti-tumor proteins under conditions a) and under conditions b), wherein: the modified therapeutic an…
