An overview of site-specific methods for achieving antibody drug conjugates with homogenous drug to antibody ratio

The choice of site selection approach must be based on multiple criteria as discussed in this report. Two ADCs made from conjugation to engineered cysteines have been approved by regulatory agencies which have contributed to the excitement in this space. For the others, though successful as proof-of-concept, the true test of merit will be determined as these technologies advance into the clinic. The promise of improving the therapeutics index and decreasing toxicities will continue to drive progress in this area.
