Potent human p140-TrkA agonists derived from an anti-receptor monoclonal antibody

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) 5C3 directed against human p140 TrkA is a
structural and functional mimic of nerve growth factor (NGF) and an
artificial receptor agonist. mAb 5C3 binds in the NGF-docking site and,
like NGF, it promotes TrkA internalization, TrkA and phosphatidylinositol-3
kinase tyrosine phosphorylation, and increased transformation of
TrkA-expressing fibroblasts. More important, mAb 5C3 protects human
TrkA-expressing cells from apoptotic death in serum-free media.
Interestingly, agonistic activity is observed with monomeric F(ab) 5C3
fragments. mAb 5C3 (Kd approximately 2 nM) was used to study features of
ligand binding by TrkA and the distribution of TrkA protein in normal human
brain.
