    1 1 Therapeutic Antibodies – from Past to Future Stefan Dubel¨ and Janice M. Reichert 1.1 An Exciting Start – and a Long Trek In the late nineteenth century, the German army doctor Emil von Behring (1854–1917), later the first Nobel Laureate for Medicine, pioneered the thera- peutic application of antibodies. He used blood serum for the treatment of tetanus and diphtheria (‘‘Blutserumtherapie’’). When his data were published in 1890 [1], very little was known about the factors or mechanisms involved in immune defense. Despite this, his smart conclusion was that a human body needs some defense mechanism to fight foreign toxic substances and that these substances should be present in the blood – and therefore can be prepared from serum and used for therapy against toxins or infections. His idea worked, and the success allowed him to found the first ‘‘biotech’’ company devoted to antibody-based therapy in 1904 – using his Nobel Prize money as ‘‘venture capital.’’ The company is still active in the business today as part of CSLBehring. In 1908, Paul Ehrlich, the father of hematology [2] and the first consistent concept of immunology (‘‘lateral chain theory,’’ Figure 1.1d [3]), was awarded the second Nobel Prize related to antibody therapeutics for his groundbreaking work on serum, ‘‘particularly to the valency determination of sera preparations.’’ Ehrlich laid the foundations of antibody generation by performing systematic research on immunization schedules and their efficiency, and he was the first to describe different immunoglobulin subclasses. He also coined the phrases ‘‘passive vaccination’’ and ‘‘active vaccination.’’ His lateral chain theory (‘‘Seitenketten,’’ sometimes misleadingly translated to ‘‘side-chain theory’’) postulated chemical receptors produced by blood cells that fitted intruding toxins (antigens).

Received: 16 March 2012; in revised form: 25 June 2012 / Accepted: 27 June 2012 / Published: 4 July 2012 Abstract: In the last two decades, several phage display-selected monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been described in the literature and a few of them have managed to reach the clinics. Among these, the anti-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) Palivizumab, a phage-display optimized mAb, is the only marketed mAb directed against microbial pathogens. Palivizumab is a clear example of the importance of choosing the most appropriate strategy when selecting or optimizing an anti-infectious mAb. From this perspective, the extreme versatility of phage-display technology makes it a useful tool when setting up different strategies for the selection of mAbs directed against human pathogens, especially when their possible clinical use is considered.

Peterson IGM Biosciences Inc, 325 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; [email protected] (R.B.); [email protected] (A.M.S.); [email protected] (S.F.C.); [email protected] (M.S.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-650-265-6458 Received: 16 September 2020; Accepted: 9 October 2020; Published: 13 October 2020 Abstract: Natural immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies are pentameric or hexameric macro- immunoglobulins and have been highly conserved during evolution. IgMs are initially expressed during B cell ontogeny and are the first antibodies secreted following exposure to foreign antigens. The IgM multimer has either 10 (pentamer) or 12 (hexamer) antigen binding domains consisting of paired µ heavy chains with four constant domains, each with a single variable domain, paired with a corresponding light chain. Although the antigen binding affinities of natural IgM antibodies are typically lower than IgG, their polyvalency allows for high avidity binding and efficient engagement of complement to induce complement-dependent cell lysis. The high avidity of IgM antibodies renders them particularly efficient at binding antigens present at low levels, and non-protein antigens, for example, carbohydrates or lipids present on microbial surfaces. Pentameric IgM antibodies also contain a joining (J) chain that stabilizes the pentameric structure and enables binding to several receptors. One such receptor, the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR), is responsible for transcytosis from the vasculature to the mucosal surfaces of the lung and gastrointestinal tract.
