Allosteric regulation of ADAMTS13 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin type-1 motif, member 13) activity involves an interaction between its Spacer (S) and CUB1-2 domains to keep the enzyme in a closed, latent conformation. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) uncouple the S-CUB interaction to open the ADAMTS13 conformation and thereby disrupt the global enzyme latency. The molecular mechanism behind this mAb-induced allostery remains poorly understood.

Background: International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis guidelines for immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) treatment recommend concurrent therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), immunosuppressive therapy (IST), and caplacizumab. TPE can complicate antidrug antibody (ADA) measurements by transferring pre-existing antibodies (pre-Abs) into patients via donor plasma and/or diluting treatment-emergent (TE) ADAs.
Objectives: To assess the presence of ADAs in patients with iTTP who received caplacizumab.

Objectives: Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ADAMTS13 activity assays are critical for the diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, these assays are susceptible to interference. As iodide has been suggested to interfere in laboratory testing via fluorophore quenching or promotion, we aimed to determine whether iodinated contrast (Omnipaque) interferes with the ATS-13 ADAMTS13 Activity Assay 2.

Fusion of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) to protein therapeutics is commonly used to extend the circulation time by enhancing neonatal Fc-receptor (FcRn)-mediated endosomal recycling and slowing renal clearance. This study applied kinetic modeling to gain insights into the cellular processing contributing to the observed pharmacokinetic (PK) differences between the novel recombinant ADAMTS13 fragment (MDTCS) and its Fc-fusion protein (MDTCS-Fc). For MDTCS and MDTCS-Fc, their plasma PK profiles were obtained at two dose levels following intravenous administration of the respective proteins to mice.
