Description/comment

JMT101 is an anti-EGFR IgG1 monoclonal antibody developed using cetuximab as a prototype. It shared a similar backbone with cetuximab. Through glycosylation modification, humanization and affinity maturation, JMT101 had reduced immunogenicity, less likelihood of cross-reactivity and a six-fold increase in target affinity in comparison to cetuximab. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39139-4 See also https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO.2020.38.15_suppl.e16025
